CF writes: "I live in an over 55 community that is constantly promoting yoga and other 'fitness' programs. The newest program being offered to the seniors is the Feldenkrais Method . . . Are you familiar with this method of fitness? Is this another 'New Age' type program? I looked on the website and it sure looks like one to me.

Today’s feminism, with its trendy slogans and undying support for the right to choose even when it costs the life of another, is nothing new, and it’s just as mean-spirited as it was in the 1960’s when feminism was birthed.

If more women understood the sad roots of this movement, they might think twice before putting on those pink hats.

JW writes: "I have a question about one of your blogs on Women of Grace where you mentioned that if science is not backing something we should not use it.
