“Woman” is becoming a four-letter word

The New Neo Posted on June 15, 2022 by neoJune 15, 2022

How do you write an article about tampons and for the most part avoid using the word “women” when talking about menstruation? Like this: People who menstruate are saying it’s hard to find tampons on store shelves across the U.S. … Continue reading →

The definition of “urban”

The New Neo Posted on June 13, 2022 by neoJune 13, 2022

I recently came across a statistic indicating that “In 2020, about 82.66 percent of the total population in the United States lived in cities and urban areas.” That rather astounded me. But what I didn’t know (and what a commenter … Continue reading →

Abortion, angry women, and “choice”

The New Neo Posted on May 16, 2022 by neoMay 16, 2022

I was walking in a certain town in New England this past Saturday and I happened on a pro-abortion demonstration. I heard it long before I saw it. There was a lot of yelling and honking, and a crowd composed … Continue reading →

“Reproductive health” = abortion

The New Neo Posted on May 11, 2022 by neoMay 11, 2022

Commenter “Another Mike” has a question: Does it seem odd to anyone else that the pro-abortion crowd uses the term “reproductive health” when abortion is actually anti-reproduction? It doesn’t seem odd. It seems rather typical of the left, which likes … Continue reading →

The real “war on women”…

The New Neo Posted on April 30, 2022 by neoApril 30, 2022

…is being waged by the left, and it’s on the very word “woman” and “women” and on the concept itself. The left has supported transgender political and cultural activism to such a great extent that not only are biological men … Continue reading →

Annals of woke literature

The New Neo Posted on April 23, 2022 by neoApril 23, 2022

A while back I saw a link at Powerline to an article in The Critic entitled, “On the chopping block.” I idly clicked on it, wondering what it was about, and saw that it concerned one of those all-too-common flaps … Continue reading →

It takes a biologist to define “woman”…

The New Neo Posted on March 23, 2022 by neoMarch 23, 2022

…according to Ketanji Brown Jackson. Duly noted. Of course, you might say that’s at least a somewhat more conservative point of view than the usual leftist “you’re a woman if you merely call yourself one” standard. Quite a while ago … Continue reading →

How to format comments like a pro

The New Neo Posted on March 23, 2022 by neoMarch 23, 2022

Yesterday commenter “Turtler” asked this question: “How do I format my posts, such as bolding, making quotes, etc?” It occurred to me that a lot of people might be interested in the answer to that question. The answer is to … Continue reading →

If Biden isn’t going to be removed, can he at least go back to not answering questions?

The New Neo Posted on March 17, 2022 by neoMarch 17, 2022

I think it would be better that way. The latest is this: Biden on Wednesday called Putin a “war criminal” for the first time, upping American rhetoric and jumping ahead of a legal process that can take years. “I think … Continue reading →

Biden’s SOTU

The New Neo Posted on March 2, 2022 by neoMarch 2, 2022

Commenter “AesopFan” managed to watch the speech and has this summary. I haven’t watched the speech, have only read a few excerpts, and find I’m not even interested in commentary about it. That’s a new low point of interest for … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on March 1, 2022 by neoMarch 1, 2022

I’m ignoring Biden’s speech for now, although you’re welcome to talk about it. Here are excerpts from some speeches that interest me more. Ukraine’s ambassador to the UN: The Kenyan ambassador: Zelensky addresses the European Parliament:

Tyranny creep: Canada and elsewhere

The New Neo Posted on February 22, 2022 by neoFebruary 22, 2022

Commenter John Tyler asks: There never is a shortage of jack-booted enforcers to impose a government’s will upon the citizenry. This time Canada is the venue. So, ladies and gents, what is about the Canadian personality or culture that enables … Continue reading →
