  The article is better than the title... Katherine Maher is Worse Than a Leftist BY  ANDREW LOWENTHAL Katherine Maher, NPR’s new CEO, has been in the spotlight for more than a week now as the straight-out-of-casting avatar of peak woke and peak institutional attainment. But Katherine Maher is not a liberal or a leftist. Though she apes identitarian thought bubbles you won’t find her on a picket line, or splitting any of her previous  800k annual Wikipedia salary  with the downtrodden. I don’t remember it being a trait of the Left to work at the World Bank, the National Democratic Institute, and HSBC, intern at the Council of Foreign Relations, be a WEF young leader, or a fellow at the Atlantic Council, a NATO-affiliated think tank. Maher is what I call a Cosmopolitan Authoritarian – a cultural libertine that institutional power has anointed into the charmed circle. I crossed Maher’s path several times on the digital rights conference circuit but met her only once  when I made the mist

  The Insane World of Intersectional Climate Change BY   STEVEN TUCKER   Once upon a time, linking climate change directly back to homosexuality was almost enough to get you sectioned. Remember 10 years ago, during the floods of 2014, when UKIP local councillor  David Silvester  was widely mocked after writing a letter to then-PM David Cameron, warning that the bad weather of the day was due to Dismal Dave’s acting “arrogantly against the Gospel” by planning to legalise gay marriage, thereby angering God Almighty and causing Him to unleash “storms, disease, pestilence and war” upon us all?

  Women like J.K. Rowling Will Not Free Us from Gender Ideology Only men of courage can do it, and it’s not clear they will JANICE FIAMENGO The fruits of gender ideology are plain for all to see: an assault on masculinity and  marriage ; fathers cut off from their children; a  growing rift between the sexes ; the denial of biological reality; children indoctrinated to seek hormone treatments and surgeries; and the perversion of language and law. A  recent study shows women, but not men, favoring radical social policies and gender ideology . Yet it is still socially unacceptable to criticize the core dogma—feminism—that started us on this path or to observe that men are generally better suited to lead our societies than women. We’ve heard a lot lately about the courage of children’s book author J.K. Rowling, who has taken on the hate speech law of her homeland, Scotland,  and pushed the government to admit it to be unenforceable —at least against a woman of her stature. Rowling deserves
