A revealing essay.

Feminism cannot resist turning every female possible into a Raging Athena, no matter the female's disposition. But the rage, in this case, in is the heart of the director. Feminism is a curse of an ideology and cult, deforming the minds, hearts, and spirits of females.

Feminism has been remarkably successful at deforming the performing arts as well. Thank you for your note.

It has corrupted all types of art, including populist forms such as film. Feminism, in truth, is the true religion of America. For example, people may claim to be Christians, but few actually are. Instead, they are imbibers of modernity and its ways. Christianity is only the costume they wear for public show and consumption.

Thank you for your provocative essays.

I really enjoyed this one, especially since I was a teen during most of Ali's reign. Fascinating info on trash talking and a riveting story of Rigoletto. What a story and wonderfully instructive on this topic. Thanks Allen!

Rigoletto is what nowdays we'd call a Daughter Daddy. She should be prepared for the world, and subsequently passed to the authority of a suitable man. Instead, she remains a precious princess all her life . . . so daddy can keep her all to himself. It is pathological and ruinous.
