I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University. – William F. Buckley, Jr.

Generally, this sentiment is as commendable today as it was when WFB originally voiced it. But that doesn’t mean Harvard faculty can’t surprise – and some of them have done just that.

On Nov. 10, 19 Harvard Law professors penned an open letter in defense of one of the university’s students, and denouncing campus sexual assault film “The Hunting Ground.” The documentary was filmed to catalog evidence of the “rape culture” the left alleges stalks modern college campuses. Instead, it’s a work of crude propaganda based on false statistics and facts that are misconstrued and misleading. 

It was bound to happen. From the moment the media got wind that Glamour magazine would even consider Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner for "Woman of the Year," tension in man-hating feminist circles have been brewing to the point they are now starting to boil over, thanks to Germaine Greer.

Greer is considered one of the biggest and longest-lasting voices in the feminist movement. She's also landed herself in some major hot water on some recent comments she's made about transgender people. Ironically, she's doing to them what she's accused men of doing to women for years -- viewing them as an unequal.

Just as the liberal media greet Antonin Scalia as some sort of Supreme Court supervillain, they lionize Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a superhero. A gushy new book spinning off of the Internet meme of the “Notorious RBG” is making a splash in the liberal media. The New York Times hailed it as “an artisanal hagiography, a frank and admiring piece of fan nonfiction.” On Monday night’s All Things Considered, NPR court reporter Nina Totenberg filed a completely one-sided promotional segment on the liberal “fan nonfiction.”

The much-anticipated premiere of CBS’s Supergirl was a breath of fresh air in TV land. Pushing back on feminist labels of women and not succumbing to traditionally sexist costuming of female superheroes, Supergirl shines. 

After Paul Ryan vowed that he wouldn’t reduce time spent with his family even if he became Speaker of the House, quite a few liberals accused the Wisconsin congressman of hypocrisy given that he has, in the words of one feminist site, “spent much of his political career fighting laws that promote realistic work-life balance for parents.”

Lefty pundit Marcotte believes that Ryan is even worse than a hypocrite. In a Thursday column for Salon, Marcotte asserted that Ryan’s “family time” stand “is a perfect distillation of the Ayn Rand-constructed worldview he has, where all the goodies are reserved for the elite and the rest of us can go hang…Increasingly, the Republican worldview is one where even basic things like love, connection, and other basic human needs are being reclassified as privileges that should only be available to the wealthy.”
