Part 1, Part 2

Besides date rape, “sexual harassment” is the major criminological innovation of the modern feminist movement. As noted in a previous essay, when the expression was first introduced in 1978 it referred to sexual extortion, the use of threats or reductions in a woman’s options in order to elicit sexual favors from her. This has always been recognized as wrong, and no new term was needed to describe it. But the term appeared anyway, and the first “sexual harassment” legal case called by that name was adjudged in 1979.

As a zealous Christian young man, most of the books I had been reading were concerned with one thing: devotion, which I would basically define as loving God, avoiding sin, and proselytizing per The Great Commission. “Culture,” on the other hand, was, I believed, a distraction at best, certainly superfluous.

This is the first in a series of film reviews wherein I’ll be looking at works of cinema that were made when subversion—whether of expectations, morals, facts, or source material—was not the filmmakers’ objective. The objective was simply to tell a story on celluloid. These will not be “classic” films, however. No one needs to read another review of Gone With The Wind or other famous, monumental movies from the past. In fact, many of the films in this series might even be light-hearted, middle-brow, pop culture entertainment. (more…)

Most everybody seemed to get along in the decade prior to the turn of this century. At least it was that way in my world. Blacks had equal rights: some were superstars in sports, some had recording contracts, and some starred in movies. All was good and things were equal — or so I had thought. (more…)

Waco: The Aftermath, which follows 2018’s miniseries Waco and was made by the same production team, is a historical-fiction miniseries that examines the cultural impact of the FBI’s calamitous 51-day siege of the Branch Davidian “compound” in Waco, Texas which ended with a raid on April 19, 1993 in which 76 civilians were killed.

Personally, I consider the best book on this topic to be Nazi Rock Star by Paul London, aka Paul Burnley, ex-singer of the band No Remorse. This book offers the most comprehensive look at Skrewdriver and goes into Ian Stuart’s childhood, explaining his ideology and motivations. (more…)
