Gender and the Supernatural

Might there be a connection? — Writing for me, as I’m sure it is for many of you, is a sense-making tool. And as I’ve used it to navigate our cultural landscape, I’ve become fascinated with the concept of gender. I’ve written five posts that deal with it directly or indirectly. And as I’ve done that…

The Case Against Equity (Abridged)

Why we should toss this pseudo-value on the trash heap of history — I would like to invite you to join me in a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that Bill Gates and I have different modes of transportation. I drive a 2006 Toyota Prius. Gates has a private jet and a fleet of high-end cars. The inequity between us is enormous. But it’s…

The WHO’s Definition of Gender: A Conceptual Analysis

Does the World Health Organization’s definition spur progress or create confusion? — One of the most pressing and contentious cultural conversations of our time is now tied to a series of concepts: gender identity, gender fluidity, the gender spectrum, transgenderism, gender roles, and gender non-conformity, etc. We use these terms all of the time as if we know exactly what they mean. …

Is Gender Really a Social Construct?

To answer the question we must define gender, and that’s easier said than done — What is gender? Does gender exist on a spectrum? Or is it binary? Can gender be changed? How is it different, or is it different, from biological sex? And while we’re on the subject, what is biological sex? After reading so many responses to the Matt Walsh documentary, What is…

What is a Woman? My Response

Say what you will about Walsh, the question has got us all thinking — “Matt Walsh is one of the most ignorant, bigoted, misogynistic grifters the internet has ever seen….

Dear Hinge, Sharing My Pronouns on My Profile Makes Zero Sense

Thoughts on performative corporate wokeness and cultural sanity — About a week ago I decided to take a morning scroll. I went through my social media and dating apps, motivated by the typical mixture of loneliness, boredom, and hopelessly naive optimism. Hinge has been my go-to for dating.

What’s So Bad About Inequality?

Three reasons to rethink an inevitable and unsolvable issue — Economic inequality is the natural, inevitable, and for the most part, benign by-product of economic development. At least that is what I will argue in this post. In fact, inequality can be good for society in some respects. …
