I’d been suffering under the misguided illusion that the purpose of mainstream publishers like Penguin Random House was to sell and promote fine writing. A colleague’s forwarded email has set me straight. Sent to a literary agent, presumably this letter was also fired off to the agents of the entire Penguin Random House stable. The email cites the publisher’s ‘new company-wide goal’: for ‘both our new hires and the authors we acquire to reflect UK society by 2025.’ (Gotta love that shouty boldface.) ‘This means we want our authors and new colleagues to reflect the UK population taking into account ethnicity, gender, sexuality, social mobility and disability.’ The email proudly proclaims that the company has removed ‘the need for a university degree from nearly all our jobs’ — which, if my manuscript were being copy-edited and proof-read by folks whose university-educated predecessors already exhibited horrifyingly weak grammar and punctuation, I would find alarming.

[Trigger warning: micro-aggression discussed below] Micro-aggressions happen every day. They are the common-place, brief, and subtle dismissals, slights, and insults that constitute the casual degradation of socially marginalized groups. Micro-aggressions are a 21st-century reenactment on a smaller scale of older, more severe forms of oppression and terrorism faced by minority groups. But while they are subtle... They are every bit as damaging in their effects on socially marginalized people. We will not wait for social justice to just happen while we are vulnerable.

You could think of it as a real version of the Defense Against The Dark Arts class in the Harry Potter series’ Hogwarts School of Magic, except the very name of that class could be perceived as ...

The right question is: Why are there any men at all that want those positions of power? Video: Psychology Professor Dr. Jordan B. Peterson (University of Toronto) talks about women in high pressure jobs and the balance between career and having a family life. Jordan B. Peterson interviews James Damore August 8th, 2017: Interestingly enough, this noted psychology and philosophy lecturer (who is also a practicing clinical psychiatrist) had his popular YouTube channel (with over 350,000 subscribers) shut down earlier this month for unnamed TOS violations, and then reactivated after an outcry went up. I'm scared I don't have a big enough audience for anyone at Google to care if the Blogger account that I host this blog on is deactivated because I posted these videos to share this very reasonable viewpoint. And that's t...
