There are many tired myths, and many tiresome ones, which are spread around by the various ideologies which compete to ruin the culture. The feminist ideology has its share of these, too. Surprisingly, an article in Time (of all places) discusses five false myths which are endlessly repeated by feminists. These include the silly repeated claim about women earning 77 cents to the dollar that men earn (it may be true on average, but averages are deceiving), and the one about how nearly 20% of college women are victims of sexual assault. It also blows up the idea that women earn only 10% of the world's income (American women alone earn 5.4%), or that a near-majority of ER visits by women are due to domestic violence (it is a plurality of violence-related hospital visits, but these are a tiny minority of all ER-visits overall).
The article is worth the read.
We may be pessimists, but we are prepared to give an account of our hope. We may be skeptics, but we are ever faithful. We may look down with sorrow on the human condition--but this sorrow begets charity. We are heralds of the dusk, but like watchmen we await the new dawn.
Contra Mozilla

Firefox users we wanted to take this space to let you know what Mozilla, the company that makes Firefox has been doing, and it's not good. Mozilla recently forced its CEO to resign because he had, 6 years ago, donated $1,000 to a pro-family political group. Apparently Mozilla is intolerant of anyone that disagrees with their Liberal/progressive view of politics. To read more please visit WhyFirefoxIsBlocked.com. We aren't blocking Firefox, but we feel it is important to let you know what's going on. For those who are curious, the reason why we are not blocking firefox is that the script to do so also blocks a variety of firefox alternatives, such as IceDragon and others which are similar to firefox and based on the same open-source code. We do think it is important to push back on this issue: for starters, you can leave firefox a comment here. You can also switch to another browser: here are six more free browsers (besides IceDragon) which are supposed to be similar to FireFox (because they are based on the same open-source code) but which are not otherwise affiliated with Mozilla.
