“For those of you who have ever been an adolescent or attempted the toe-curling, hair-whitening endeavor of raising one—hold your laughter. Resist the urge to squeal out loud at the preposterous notion that a teenager in any sense knows who she is with the level of certainty sufficient to entrust her with life-altering decisions.”
Abigail Shrier, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters

“[Speaking with John McWhorter]
I take umbrage at the lionisation of lightweight, empty-suited, empty-headed motherfuckers like Ibram X. Kendi. Who couldn't carry my book bag. He hasn't read a fucking thing. If you ask him what Nietzsche said, he would have no idea. He's an unserious, superficial, empty-suited, lightweight - he's not our equal, not even close.”
Glenn C. Loury

“The emotional toll that a girl so often pays for a casual sexual encounter — the sinking feeling that a protective amulet has slipped through her grasp, lost for good.”
Abigail Shrier, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters

“Women feel things deeply. We empathize. For good reason, when asked to identify their best friend, most men name their wives; most women name another woman.”
Abigail Shrier, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters

“Nearly every novel problem teenagers face traces itself back to 2007 and the introduction of Steve Jobs’s iPhone. In fact, the explosion in self-harm can be so precisely pinpointed to the introduction of this one device that researches have little doubt that it is the cause... The statistical explosion of bullying, cutting, anorexia, depression, and the rise of sudden transgender identification is owed to the self-harm instruction, manipulation, abuse, and relentless harassment supplied by a single smartphone.”
