The war to keep men who believe they are women out of women&#8217;s locker rooms found an unlikely fighter this month: a lesbian gym rat from Los Angeles who has run into so many men in the women&#8217;s locker room she&#8217;s screaming about it at the top of her lungs.
In the video that has more than 18 million views on X, Hyman was getting kicked out of her gym after complaining about men invading her privacy in the locker room. She told The Daily Wire that the now-viral outburst was her last chance to tell other ladies at the gym what was going on before she was banished.
&#8220;That moment was me trying to warn the ladies in the gym,&#8221; Hyman told The Daily Wire. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know it would warn ladies around the world.&#8221;
&#8220;I knew I wasn&#8217;t going to be there anymore to warn the girls, so I just yelled out. I&#8217;m not usually that loud and disruptive, but this was the only way that I could warn the ladies in that gym. You have young ladies in there just being traumatized.&#8221;
One of the men traumatizing Hyman in the locker room was Grant Freeman, and he was certainly worth a warning label. He&#8217;s a convicted criminal of domestic assault who slammed his now ex-wife&#8217;s head into a toilet seat. Hyman said she&#8217;s seen at least seven men in the women&#8217;s locker room over the last month, including Freeman, who now identifies as a woman and goes by &#8220;Alexis,&#8221; on multiple occasions.
Hyman said Freeman was disrupting her daily habit, and that she&#8217;d pray that she&#8217;d miss him.
&#8220;I go to the gym a different time every day. I just pray&#8230;please God, don&#8217;t let me see him today.&#8221; But she did. Her last run-in with Freeman was the most intense, she said.

He is the one with the criminal past, yet Hyman said she was the one escorted out of the gym by police after she raised the alarm.
She didn&#8217;t get help from the people she wanted to at the gym, but someone pulled out their phone, took a video, and changed Hyman&#8217;s life.
It caught the attention of Riley Gaines, who knows all too well what it&#8217;s like to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-left-there-with-no-trophy-ncaa-female-swimmer-who-tied-for-fifth-with-trans-athlete-says-officials-put-lia-thomas-ahead-of-her">share a locker room with a man</a>. Gaines, who swam at the University of Kentucky, shared a locker room with Lia Thomas, the first openly trans-identifying woman NCAA champion. Gaines has been the leader for keeping trans-identifying women out of women&#8217;s sports ever since.
It&#8217;s no surprise a repost from Gaines turned into millions of views for Hyman&#8217;s video, making the black and lesbian entertainer from the Bronx a new face in the protect women movement.
&#8220;The reason why we got here is because we&#8217;re not standing in truth. We&#8217;re lying to these men and telling them that they&#8217;re women.&#8221;
Being bold comes naturally for Hyman — she said the &#8220;social pressure&#8221; others feel has never stopped her from speaking up.
&#8220;So when I saw this I was like what is going on? Why is no one speaking about this? Are you crazy? This is dangerous.&#8221;
Hyman didn&#8217;t think protecting women would come with the amount of internet fame she&#8217;s experienced over the last week. Primetime interviews and countless new followers. She said the attention is sometimes &#8220;overwhelming,&#8221; but worth it to stop people from thinking men and women are interchangeable.
&#8220;There are boys and girls. Ladies and gentlemen. You know, dresses and pants,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s okay if you want to swap them, but you don&#8217;t have to change who you are physically to do that. And we know that.&#8221;
And she wanted to make sure California state lawmaker and hopeful to replace Nancy Pelosi in the House, Scott Wiener, knew the truth too. Hyman flew to San Francisco Monday to question Wiener on his pro-transgender policies.

Hyman was front and center of the room, sitting feet from Wiener. She said she saw the moderator at the event toss her question for Wiener aside, and knew it was time for Hyman to be bold again. She took the mic and asked the question herself.
“What would you say to women who are seeking assurance that their safety will be protected from men who, by California law, can self-identify as women in women-only spaces?” Hyman asked.
Wiener replied in part: “Trans women are women.” When Hyman corrected the senator telling him &#8220;trans women are men,&#8221; the crowd turned on Hyman. She said men were shouting &#8220;boo&#8221; toward her and yelling &#8220;trans women are women.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

A room of men telling a woman they can change biology if they want to. She wasn&#8217;t backed by a single person in that room, but she kept going.
&#8220;No they&#8217;re not, they&#8217;re men,&#8221; she said, in a conversation that never went further than that. She didn&#8217;t get the answers she wanted, but she left the room wanting to speak out more.
&#8220;I am motivated for change. I can&#8217;t be okay until I know that women are protected by law.&#8221;
It&#8217;s not about politics to Hyman. She said women&#8217;s safety should be a nonpartisan issue.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t let people brainwash you. Undo the brainwashing. We know what pink is for, and we know what blue is for. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with the indications and separations here,&#8221; Hyman said.
&#8220;You&#8217;re not women, you&#8217;re men, and you should be okay with that.&#8221;
Hyman is flying to Minnesota this weekend to meet with another woman who said she had trans-identifying men in an all-women&#8217;s prison. There is no way the two would have connected if it wasn&#8217;t for Hyman speaking out on the issue, and none of it would be happening if not for the events of the last 10 days.
&#8220;This experience has changed my life. It&#8217;s extended my purpose, and I am grateful to this experience as traumatic as it has been.&#8221;
Hyman is convinced that her side is going to win the fight for common sense.
&#8220;Everybody&#8217;s gonna get back to normal,&#8221; Hyman said. &#8220;Once everybody starts telling the truth, and people stop lying to these grown men. We&#8217;re lying to these men and telling them that they&#8217;re women. That&#8217;s how we got here.&#8221;
Don&#8217;t expect the woman who sings for a living and went viral for screaming at the top of her lungs in the gym to turn down the volume.
&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna be loud until all women are loud and our voices are heard.&#8221;

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) cozied up to a reporter and a man wearing a dress while laughing and mocking “MAGA women” based on their appearances.
Crockett was speaking to a reporter — while standing alongside a drag queen in full costume — and the three of them attempted to spin cosmetic treatments such as Botox or collagen fillers as “gender-affirming care” in order to downplay the invasive and destructive treatments given to trans-identifying patients.

“Okay, a lot of the MAGA women receive gender-affirming care such as lip fillers, breast augmentation, et cetera,” the reporter began, prompting an apparently amused reaction from Crockett. “Why do you think they are so against gender-affirming care for trans people?”
Crockett, her mouth hanging open, stomped her feet several times before the drag queen beside her waved her forward: “You know you want to say it.”
“So I have this thing, where like you know a MAGA woman when you see one,” she said.
“1,000%” the reporter agreed.
“They all have a look, right?” Crockett continued, over comments from the drag queen out of frame. “But they lips be up to — anyway, that’s a whole other issue. But yeah, it&#8217;s — they don&#8217;t even know. &#8216;Cause when that was brought up on the House floor, &#8217;cause there was a discussion about this on the House floor, they were like, &#8216;How dare you say we use —&#8217; and it&#8217;s like, no, that&#8217;s exactly what y&#8217;all do. Y&#8217;all just didn&#8217;t realize that that&#8217;s what it is. But okay.”
Crockett, like the reporter and a number of others, has repeatedly conflated surgical enhancements of one’s natural biology with surgeries designed to subvert or outright erase one’s natural biology artificially.

Americans are finding common ground on an unexpected issue, abortion drugs. <a href="https://sbaprolife.org/newsroom/press-releases/breaking-7-in-10-voters-want-to-roll-back-biden-covid-abortion-drug-policy-reinstate-in-person-doctor-visits">New polling</a> shows that rolling back dangerous Biden-era policies on the drugs is not only supported by a majority of Americans, but such support transcends traditional party divides and the “pro-life” versus “pro-choice” label.
Seven in 10 likely voters <a href="https://sbaprolife.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/National-Voter-Survey-Executive-Summary-.pdf">approve</a> of reinstating safeguards around the drugs by requiring a doctor visit for abortion drug prescriptions. Even more revealing, the majority of voters who were surveyed for the poll identify as “pro-choice,” representing a possible shift in how voters view the repercussions of the drugs for women’s health and safety.
Another 70% of respondents support doctors screening for and reporting possible abuse and coercion before prescribing the drugs, a policy that could have prevented the tragedy <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/texas-attorney-poisoned-pregnant-wife-abortion-medication-sentenced-18-rcna138065">Catherine Herring</a> experienced firsthand when her husband purchased lethal abortion drugs online and tried to end her pregnancy by lacing her drinks.
Catherine’s abuser was enabled by the Biden Administration’s removal of abortion drug safeguards, which eliminated in-person dispensing requirements for abortion pills under the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. As a result, it’s easier than ever for would-be abusers and coercers to obtain the pills via mail. The FDA’s recent approval of a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone only compounds these risks for women by making the drugs even easier to access.
The response has been swift, with groups urging the FDA to rescind their approval and restore policies that protect women’s health and safety while affirming life.
The dangers of abortion drugs have never been more apparent. A recent <a href="https://eppc.org/news/largest-ever-study-of-abortion-pill-reveals-shocking-number-of-adverse-events/">study</a> from the Ethics and Public Policy Center found that serious adverse events from the abortion drug are approximately 22 times more frequent than the FDA currently reports, with over one in ten women experiencing sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or other harmful side-effects.
A peer-reviewed <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2673-6284/14/2/39">article</a> from the Charlotte Lozier Institute also debunked the popular claim that the abortion pill is “safer than Tylenol.” Just recently, the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs (AAPLOG) <a href="https://aaplogaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2025.08.20-One-Pager-Clostridial-Infection-after-Mifepristone.pdf">sounded the alarm</a> on a dangerous sepsis-like infection that can occur after a pregnant woman takes mifepristone.
Even Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and-business/rfk-jr-says-biden-twisted-the-data-on-abortion-pill-safety">admitted</a> that the Biden Administration had “twisted the data to bury one of the safety signals, a very high safety signal, around 11 percent” related to abortion drugs. Yet the FDA significantly expanded access to mifepristone with the approval of the new generic pill, rather than pausing to examine the current evidence of harm or complete the agency’s <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-fda-abortion-pill-mifepristone-safety-review/">promised report</a> on the safety of the drug.
In any other area of medicine, such findings would have triggered alarm, inquiry, and reform. In the absence of any such immediate action, the pro-life movement, state attorneys general, and Congress are standing in the gap to protect women.
A <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/coalition-hhs-fda-pull-abortion-pill-approval">coalition</a> of advocacy and policy organizations – led by Live Action with support from Students for Life, Concerned Women for America, Heartbeat International, Advancing American Freedom, AAPLOG, the Life Leadership Conference, and several others – joined with state leaders to demand a reversal of the FDA&#8217;s decision to approve the new generic version of mifepristone.
Attorney generals from twenty-two states, led by Alabama’s Steve Marshall, <a href="https://www.alabamaag.gov/attorney-general-steve-marshall-condemns-the-fdas-illegal-and-dangerous-decision-to-abandon-restrictions-on-abortion-inducing-drugs/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CIn%20direct%20contravention%20of%20longstanding,terms%20for%20%E2%80%9Cprioritizing%20.%20.%20.">denounced</a> the FDA’s “illegal and dangerous” rollback of in-person dispensing rules. Fifteen more have <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5427732-republican-states-target-abortion/">called on Congress</a> to confront “shield laws” that allow doctors to mail abortion drugs into pro-life states while circumventing state laws.
Earlier this month, Senator Lindsey Graham led 51 senators in sending a <a href="https://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2025/10/51-republican-senators-urge-fda-to-continue-to-stand-for-life-reevaluate-generic-abortion-pill-approval">joint letter</a> to Secretary Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, urging them to halt the rollout of the new generic drug and reinstate the safety rules that once governed its use.
Senate HELP Committee Chair Bill Cassidy followed with an <a href="https://sbaprolife.org/newsroom/press-releases/help-committee-chairman-cassidy-leads-critical-oversight-effort-on-abortion-drugs">oversight letter</a> pressing the same officials to explain how the agency could expand access while simultaneously pledging to “review the ongoing data.” Cassidy warned that the FDA’s decision “fails to mitigate the risks to women that have been identified and fails to protect women from the coercive use of the drug.”
The central claim is simple: women’s health and safety are on the line. The FDA and HHS must act to restore crucial safeguards.
Pro-life groups and elected officials echo the voices of women who have been harmed directly by abortion drugs. Women like <a href="https://eppc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/1-Complaint-8.11.2025_compressed.pdf">Liana Davis</a>, whose hot chocolate was laced with abortion drugs by her boyfriend, resulting in a miscarriage; <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/victim-coerced-mail-order-abortion-suing-fda">Rosalie Markezich,</a> who was coerced by her boyfriend into taking mail-order abortion pills; and <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/texas-attorney-poisoned-pregnant-wife-abortion-medication-sentenced-18-rcna138065">Catherine Herring,</a> who unknowingly consumed abortion drugs slipped into her drink by her husband.
Their heartbreaking stories shine a light on the true costs of uncontrolled abortion drugs. Americans understand those costs too, and a majority want to see crucial safeguards restored. The FDA and HHS must respond and act before more women are harmed.

What makes a crowd at a Scott Wiener event &#8220;boo&#8221; in disgust? A woman saying that a man who identifies as a woman is not, in fact, a woman.
&#8220;They are men,&#8221; Tish Hyman, the woman at the center of a viral video calling for men to stay out of women&#8217;s locker rooms, told the crowd Monday night. Hyman flew across the state for Wiener&#8217;s first appearance as a congressional candidate. He was doing an interview with Mission Local, a news outlet in San Francisco, in front of a sold-out crowd.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Had a chance to have a conversation with Senator Weiner. It was an honest one. I am hopeful that this is the first of many conversations we will have regarding women’s safety .

— Tish Hyman (@listen2tish) <a href="https://twitter.com/listen2tish/status/1988286400828240218?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 11, 2025</a></blockquote>
&#8220;As a lesbian woman who was attacked in a woman&#8217;s locker room at Gold&#8217;s Gym this week by a self-identifying trans woman with a documented history of domestic violence, I&#8217;m deeply concerned about women&#8217;s safety,&#8221; Hyman told Wiener as he opened the floor up for questions.
&#8220;What would you say to women who are seeking assurance that their safety will be protected from men who, by California law, can self-identify as women in women-only spaces?&#8221; Hyman asked.
The state senator, who has taken no action to protect women from men in any space, replied in part: &#8220;Trans women are women.&#8221;
Hyman vehemently disagreed, and the crowd erupted in boos.
&#8220;Trans women are women,&#8221; someone yelled at Hyman from across the room.
Wiener attempted to answer Hyman&#8217;s question on how he would protect women.
&#8220;I mean, I want everyone to be safe and we have trans people &#8212; both men and women who are men and women&#8230;&#8221; Wiener said.
It&#8217;s not the answer Hyman wanted to hear. The leftist crowd turned on Hyman, who still made her points clear to Wiener. She said it&#8217;s the first of many conversations she hopes to have with him to make California safer.
&#8220;I see a lot of these bills that are dangerous for women and young children. I am telling you as a woman first and foremost, this is dangerous. We need your help because you&#8217;re in the office,&#8221; Hyman said.
Wiener claimed he appreciates Hyman&#8217;s point of view, but &#8220;trans women are also brutalized in this country.&#8221;
Hyman boldly told the state senator in response to his statement that trans women aren&#8217;t women. She said it as clearly as she has in every video she&#8217;s made since being catapulted into the fight for women&#8217;s rights.
One of the trans-identifying men Hyman exposed in her videos for allegedly harassing her in the women&#8217;s locker room had a lengthy rap sheet of charges, including domestic violence. The Daily Wire obtained arrest <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trans-identifying-man-at-center-of-viral-gym-video-once-slammed-ex-wifes-head-into-toilet">records</a> for Grant Freeman, which said he slammed his ex-wife into a toilet seat.
She told that to the crowd, too. Crickets. Before she left the venue, she let Wiener know she thought he was doing nothing to protect women.
Hyman said after her exchange with Wiener that she wants women to know she will not stop fighting.
&#8220;Collectively, we have the strength to win this together,&#8221; she said.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Monday that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has removed broad &#8220;black box&#8221; warnings from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause.
The move reverses FDA action to apply the warning more than two decades ago. It&#8217;s been praised by some medical professionals as &#8220;far overdue&#8221; and a reversal of the &#8220;greatest single failure of the modern medical system.&#8221;
<div>
&#8220;Women have used HRT products for decades to relieve menopausal symptoms,&#8221; an HHS press release sent to The Daily Wire said. &#8220;However, their use plummeted in the early 2000s when the FDA applied boxed warnings following a Women’s Health Initiative study that found a statistically non-significant increase in the risk of breast cancer diagnosis. The average age of women in the study was 63 years — over a decade past the average age of a woman experiencing menopause — and study participants were given a hormone formulation no longer in common use.&#8221;

“Tragically, tens of millions of women have been denied the life-changing and long-term health benefits of hormone replacement therapy because of a medical dogma rooted in a distortion of risk,” Makary said. “For too long, issues of women’s health have been underrecognized.

Comedian Wanda Sykes is being dragged for saying the quiet part out loud and admitting she will choose job candidates based on their race and gender.
The 61-year-old celebrity proudly made the admission last week at Variety’s Power of Women event in Los Angeles.
“My joy is when I’m able to hire somebody. And you know who I like to hire? Women. … I’ll be upfront with you. When it comes to a position and I look on the paper — she might be right here, and he’s up there,” Sykes said, indicating with her hands that the man was in a slightly elevated position compared to the woman. 
She went on, “I’m hiring the woman. That’s just how I operate. And I’ll be honest with you, if she’s a black woman — oh, pssh. Girl, you got the job.”
The crowd gave her a big round of applause for acknowledging her bias.
“When women thrive, the community thrives,” Sykes added, before throwing in a punch line. “We make everyone around us better. When you get women, when we win, everybody wins. When men win, sometimes they get a younger wife.”

Social media commenters blasted Sykes for bragging about discriminating in her hiring practices.
“Haha cool this is totally illegal,” conservative commentator Megyn Kelly <a href="https://x.com/megynkelly/status/1984372349215658407?s=43">replied</a>. 
“Why do people think it’s OK to be so blatantly racist and sexist?” another account <a href="https://x.com/OneHegemony/status/1984372640170271192">posted</a>.

Editor’s Note: This is the third installment in the five-part series “American Maoists: Warnings From The Cultural Revolution.”
In Part II, Xi Van Fleet and Sasha Gong — both activists, scholars, and survivors of Mao’s communist uprising — broke down the endless cycle of victimization that fuels perpetual revolution, and has been embraced by the American Left.
Today, the authors take up the question of women. The American Left, it turns out, is not the first revolutionary movement to encourage androgyny and shame women for being traditionally feminine. Indeed, as our authors, show, destroying womanhood is essential to the revolutionary project.
*** 
The story of women under radical Marxist ideology is the story of beauty turned to beast.
Mao Zedong’s wife, Jiang Qing — known in the West as Madame Mao — was once celebrated as a symbol of feminine beauty. In 1930s Shanghai, the so-called “Hollywood of the East,” she gained fame as a rising movie star, embodying the glamour and grace traditionally associated with Chinese womanhood.
But Shanghai was also a hub for progressives, Communist sympathizers, and fellow travelers — and Jiang Qing was soon drawn into their orbit.
In 1937, at the age of 23, Jiang Qing — like tens of thousands of other progressive youths — traveled to Yan’an, the Communist stronghold in the loess hills of northwestern China, to join the revolution. There she quickly caught Mao Zedong’s attention, leading him to set aside his guerrilla fighter wife and marry the former movie star. 
As Jiang Qing bound herself to Mao and the Communist revolution, she began to shed her feminine image: cutting her long hair short, trading dresses for shapeless military uniforms, and abandoning the aura of a glamorous actress.
This transformation was not simply personal; it reflected a broader ideological demand. In Yan’an, and later in Beijing, the revolution required individuals to dissolve their identity into the collective. As Mao’s political power grew, Jiang’s own image moved ever further from the ideals of Chinese traditional femininity.
By 1966, when Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, Jiang’s metamorphosis was complete. Elevated to unprecedented authority as “Chairman Mao’s greatest standard-bearer,” she emerged as a hardened, gender-neutral revolutionary warrior, wearing a distinctly masculine haircut and clad only in a Mao suit or military uniform.
Jiang Qing became the model for all Chinese women to emulate. Feminine qualities were denounced as toxic, bourgeois, and reactionary, and women were expected to abandon not only the ornaments of beauty but the very essence of femininity itself — as lovers, wives, and mothers. Mao himself praised this new ideal in verse: “China’s daughters hold uncommon resolve; they love not splendid ornaments, but the arms of revolution.”
Nowhere was this more stark than in the Red Guard movement: thousands of teenage girls, who might once have sung, studied, or courted love, instead shouted slogans, wielded clubs, and became torturers and killers.
The Red Guard was responsible for the first murder of the Cultural Revolution — the brutal beating to death of their principal at a Beijing girls’ high school — an act that unleashed the nationwide violence which would claim tens of millions of lives.
It was in that era that both of us passed through girlhood, adolescence, and the bloom of youth, devoid of all femininity.
We were told, and we believed, that women could hold up half the sky, and that whatever men could do, we could do even better. We strove to become Iron Girls — the Chinese version of the superwoman — taking on the hardest tasks while training ourselves to look, speak, and act like men. Family, children, and motherhood were pushed from our minds; all that mattered was proving ourselves as revolutionaries.
Sadly, defeminization left deep scars on the women of our generation, eroding many of the traditional Chinese virtues of womanhood: tenderness, modesty, nurturing, grace, and devotion to family. Our generation, unlike our Western counterparts, grew up without dreams of a fairytale love story or a perfect wedding. 
When some of us later came to the West, we shattered the stereotype of what an Asian woman was expected to be in the eyes of Westerners.
As survivors of Mao’s defeminization, we are horrified to see history repeating itself here in America. Although the process began decades ago with the rise of second-wave feminism in the 1960s, its pace has accelerated dramatically in recent years.
Radicalized young women — especially white female youth in search of identity — have taken defeminization to new extremes. The body itself becomes a canvas of protest against convention and traditional feminine beauty: blue hair, tattoos, piercings, and harsh attire announce open rebellion. One needs to look no further than the Antifa girls on the streets for living proof.
As in Mao’s China, defeminization is more than an outward transformation; in today’s woke culture it is a proud declaration of being the opposite of what family, culture, or faith once revered as good, beautiful, or sacred. In this sense, it is a total reordering of values, inscribed visibly on the body. 
What is even worse is that the defeminization of women is accompanied by the feminization of men — a topic for another time. Both trends aim to shake the very foundation of a functioning society.

From Red Guard To Blue Hair: Why Leftists Destroy Womanhood

Communist China

Leftism

Revolution

At 43 years-old, I can look back at my life with a deep sense of pride — and, if I’m honest, a touch of longing. I’ve spent my entire adult life building my career, climbing ladders, taking risks, and proving to myself that I could be independent and successful. And in many ways, I’ve achieved exactly what I set out to do.
I own my home. I’ve built financial security that allows me to stand firmly on my own two feet. My parents and grandparents are healthy and happy. I have a circle of incredible friends who inspire me, challenge me, and support me through every chapter. And I have three gorgeous nephews who light up my world in ways I never could have imagined. These are blessings I don’t take for granted.
One of the accomplishments I’m most proud of is that through my own hard work, I was able to leave a marriage that wasn’t right for me. Because I was financially independent, I had choices. I could walk away and rebuild my life on my own terms. That freedom is something I cherish deeply.
But with all that said, there are things I wish I’d done differently. When you’re young and ambitious, it’s easy to believe you can have it all — career, independence, love, family — without having to make tough decisions. You put your head down, keep pushing forward, and tell yourself there will be time later. For me, later came faster than I expected.
If I could offer advice to young women just starting out, it would be this: leave space for the things that matter most. A healthy, loving relationship with a partner who brings out the best in you. The chance to conceive and raise a child. The opportunity to create a life that isn’t only about work, but about shared dreams, purpose, and faith.
Two moments have profoundly shaped this perspective. The first came after October 7, when I traveled to Israel as part of one of the first American volunteer groups. While I spent my days preparing meals for soldiers and harvesting crops, it was the people I met who left the deepest mark. Many had lost loved ones only weeks earlier, yet they carried on with remarkable strength, sustained by family and community. Even as they sent their children off to war, they remained united — grounded in faith and bound by an unbreakable sense of solidarity.
The second moment was the assassination of Charlie Kirk — and the extraordinary strength Erika Kirk displayed in its aftermath. In Charlie and Erika, I saw everything I believed was possible for myself one day. They came together as two accomplished individuals and built a life rooted in love, family, and faith. Watching and rewatching videos of them — as partners, as parents — stirred something deep within me, awakening a longing I hadn’t fully realized was there.
It brought me back to my own childhood, the eldest of three, watching my parents put aside their own wants to nurture our needs. Through their actions, they instilled in us the core values of our Jewish faith: prioritizing family, pursuing education, and giving back to those less fortunate. My parents made sure our faith wasn’t just taught but lived — from leading a Jewish Federation mission to Israel to sending my sister and me to study in the Holy Land. Those experiences didn’t just deepen my connection to Judaism and the state of Israel; they shaped how I understood love, commitment, and what it means to build a life of purpose.
As I sat with those memories, I couldn’t help but ask myself, with a heaviness I can’t quite put into words: how did I fall so far from that path?
Don’t limit your options because you’re so determined to prove your strength or independence. Being headstrong can serve you well in the boardroom, but it can also blind you to what truly fulfills the heart. There is immense purpose in building a family and in nurturing a partnership where both people grow together.
I wish I had discovered this earlier in life — the profound beauty that comes with faith, love, and building a family. My career has given me so much, but it has also required sacrifices I didn’t fully understand at the time. If I could go back, I would tell my younger self to be just as intentional about her personal life as she was about her professional one.
As I approach my 44th birthday, I feel the weight of limited options. Yet, thanks to breakthroughs in technology, I have hope — hope that I can bring a Jewish child into this world. While I have yet to meet a Jewish partner to share this journey, I cannot waste another moment. The chance to experience the profound joy of creating life and carrying forward my heritage is too precious to delay.
So to those just beginning their journey, take my advice: find yourself while also making room for the relationships and experiences that will bring you joy beyond titles, promotions, or accolades. A meaningful life isn’t built only in offices or boardrooms — it’s built in the quiet moments of connection, faith, and love. And those are the things I wish I’d done.

Legacy media made another feeble attempt to malign Justice Amy Coney Barrett on the eve of the release of her new book. But contrary to the whispers of palace intrigue surrounding the Court’s Dobbs decision, her book, &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Listening-Law-Reflections-Court-Constitution/dp/0593421868/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ILSOy3KahPQkW1N9rrNO_q4yhhX-A5gHnGstjpJkVxIJEAnrRe9w_lF2EUAzY8ASQZ9CZqVDHgKZt8ve0nfVVfwqI92ZVk_q0-xS0_0MvGjhlohklgHmlqVEi16JQXap9StaJ9rMCJYS5c-zfbRU2u7nrMK7Ps-ryfWBC5LGZTDLoJ6JVQxpOU7zm2FeSFITwHaNi6WP9-IfOtCiQoJ3-HjnOJseV05XFTe7FBtb5Jo.5_511Qkt6JuwwSSsSnxDilB7c5pvyEXA08tcA6xNPMM&amp;qid=1757008559&amp;sr=8-1">Listening to the Law</a>,&#8221; is a window into the careful legal reasoning and conscientious commitment to the law that has defined her career. It reminds us that liberty depends on intellect, conscience, and the steady moral vision women of faith uniquely bring to public life. Barrett embodies these traits, and they are mirrored in women across the country who refuse to be cowed. 
Barrett’s convictions never wavered when she was maligned for her Catholic faith. During her Seventh Circuit confirmation, Senator Dianne Feinstein warned of the “dogma living loudly” in Barrett — a jab she met with intelligence, poise, and unflinching calm. Her Supreme Court confirmation displayed the same razor-sharp clarity. While many American women see in Barrett traits they recognize in themselves — dedication, moral clarity, and attention to conscience — there will only ever be one ACB. I recognized it in small, ordinary ways, too. A friend once gave me a coffee mug that read, “The Dogma Lives Loudly Within Me”—a playful badge of honor. Even when the mug was accidentally shattered by a child unloading the dishwasher, the sentiment remained intact, much like the enduring faith of women who live their convictions quietly but resolutely, holding conscience above convenience.
In &#8220;Listening to the Law,&#8221; Barrett reflects on family, faith, and the role of law in society. She recalls her great-grandmother, a widowed mother of thirteen during the Depression, noting that “No generation starts afresh; each is shaped by its predecessors.”

She observes that “Law is but one piece of what it takes to make a healthy society, and it (like everything else in life) exists in the midst of relationships.” She underscores that the Constitution commits us to pluralism through protections like those guaranteed by the First Amendment, which “requires the government to tolerate all opinions and all religions.” To critics who “suggest that people of faith have a particularly difficult time following the law rather than their moral views,” Barrett reiterates her understanding that “the guiding principle in every case is what the law requires, not what aligns with the judge’s own concept of justice.” Such resolve, she shows, can be met exactly because of the humility that derives from faith. And her own grounding in a large, loving family shines through — the book is dedicated simply to “Jesse,” her husband — a tribute both understated and profound.
When it comes to safeguarding America’s first freedom, Barrett’s rigor is urgently needed. Sooner rather than later, the Supreme Court will revisit Employment Division v. Smith. Authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, for whom Barrett clerked, Smith held that sincerely held religious objections do not exempt people from complying with “neutral and generally applicable laws.”
In practice, Smith has often crushed religious liberty, particularly regarding anti-discrimination laws tied to sexual orientation and gender identity. Barrett’s careful attention to conscience — the “feminine genius” St. John Paul II celebrated—is precisely what the Court needs to craft a workable framework for protecting the free exercise rights of those whose beliefs are countercultural. The stakes are far from abstract: the religious convictions of real women hang in the judicial balance.
Consider Cathy Miller, a Christian baker from California, fined for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage, who has asked the Court to hear her case this term. Or the Little Sisters of the Poor, who still refuse to include abortifacients or contraceptives in their health care plans despite the authoritarian demands of the Affordable Care Act’s “contraceptive mandate,” holding fast to Church teaching. Lori Smith, a Colorado website designer, refused to create speech she did not believe in — and won at the Supreme Court. Jessica Bates, a widowed Oregon mother, was blocked from fostering children because she would not embrace gender ideology — until the Ninth Circuit, of all places, vindicated her. These women were not seeking to impose beliefs on others, but to defend the right of all Americans to live out their faith without government coercion. They stand as sentinels between the state and the citizen’s conscience.
Backing them are brilliant women lawyers and scholars who turn principle into action. Kristen Waggoner, president of Alliance Defending Freedom, has argued multiple Supreme Court cases. Lori Windham of the Becket Fund shields institutions and individuals from government overreach. Legal scholars like Mary Ann Glendon, Nicole Garnett, Helen Alvaré, and Stephanie Barclay provide indispensable intellectual firepower. Protecting religious liberty is neither abstract nor optional. It demands moral clarity, expert advocacy, and strategic rigor.

Barrett’s reflections illuminate the careful reasoning and moral clarity she brings to public life. Just as the other women highlighted here confront cultural and legal pressures with courage and fidelity, Barrett’s reflections on the law remind us that protecting religious freedom — our First Freedom — depends on women of faith. Through courage, attention to conscience, and steadfast commitment to the common good and the rule of law, they ensure liberty endures for generations to come.

&#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author J.K. Rowling planted a red flag on the clear message radical trans activists are sending to women and girls when they demand access to single-sex spaces that are meant to be for women only.
Rowling, whose support for sex-based rights and privacy has often put her at odds with the trans community, said that the obvious takeaway was as simple as it was insidious: women, to them, were little more than costumes that afforded the wearers everything that went along with actually being women.
&#8220;The message to girls everywhere: you are a costume that any man can put on. Once he’s wearing it, he gets to take your rights,&#8221; Rowling&#8217;s post was concise.

Marla-Svenja Liebich, 53 — who went by the name Sven until December of 2024 — was the leader of a banned local Nazi group called Blood and Honour in Saxony-Anhalt. He has campaigned for Russian President Vladimir Putin and cheered on the war against Ukraine.

Liebich was arrested on several charges including inciting hatred, criminal insults, and &#8220;trying to sell a baseball bat over the internet as a &#8216;deportation aid.'&#8221;
Despite previously claiming that trans-identifying people were &#8220;parasites on society,&#8221; Liebich made use of a recently-changed policy in order to adopt his new identity. While in years past, trans-identifying individuals had to present evidence from two doctors in order to change gender on official government documents, a new policy adopted last November allows individuals to simply fill out a form at a local government office.

Anyone who watched TV in the 1990s is familiar with the slow-motion “Baywatch” run meant to highlight the enviable physiques of the lifeguards at Malibu beach.
The most famous slow-motion jogger, of course, was Pamela Anderson, who went on to have a public profile laced with several high-profile rock romances, a blonde bombshell image, lots of makeup and tight clothing, and, predictably, a sex tape.
Her long-running sex symbol status is what makes Anderson’s newest iteration so extraordinary. Gone are the over-plucked eyebrows, glittery makeup looks, and skimpy outfits. And instead of simply toning down her look into a more polished yet styled version of the 90s version, the actress did a complete 180 and started walking around with a totally bare face that appears natural and shows signs of aging.
Anderson, 58, now looks more like a kindly grandmother at the grocery store than she does like the <a href="https://www.biography.com/actors/a65563161/playboy-pamela-anderson-against-porn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">record holder</a> for most times posing nude for Playboy (14, if you were wondering). She’s also enjoying what appears to be a later-in-life romance with Liam Neeson, which looks sweet enough to melt even the most cynical hearts.
Anderson has been discussing her change in appearance openly ever since it began. She described her over-styled &#8217;90s look as a “defense mechanism.”
Spurred in part by the death of her longtime makeup artist Alexis Vogel in 2019, the celeb said her decision to ditch the cosmetics was “freeing, and fun, and a little rebellious too.&#8221;
&#8220;Because I did notice that there were all these people doing big makeup looks, and it’s just like me to go against the grain and do the opposite of what everyone’s doing,” she <a href="https://www.elle.com/fashion/a44775298/pamela-anderson-interview-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Elle in 2023.
She also spoke about being confronted with her own reflection, saying, &#8220;I’m kind of laughing at myself when I look at the mirror. I go, ‘Wow, this is really&#8230;what’s happening to me?’ It’s a journey,&#8221; she told the magazine. &#8220;But I feel rooted for. I feel good. I’m in a good place.”
In a Vogue interview about going makeup-free at Paris Fashion Week, she explained that her transformation wasn’t a protest. It was personal.
“I just thought, ‘I’m doing this for all the girls out there.’… This is it.”
&#8220;You kind of have to challenge beauty sometimes,&#8221; she told the outlet. &#8220;You know, if we all chase youth, or we&#8217;re chasing our idea of what fashion magazines [want] and everything, we&#8217;re only gonna be disappointed or maybe a little bit sad. So I feel like this is it.&#8221;
Anderson also discussed her plan to forge a path for other women in her age bracket.
&#8220;I feel as a woman and a woman of my age, and a woman in the public eye&#8230;it&#8217;s also your job to be a model of everything,&#8221; she shared. &#8220;Just all sorts of choices. So I am just being me, kind of who I am, in all these great clothes running around Paris.&#8221;
Other celebrities celebrated the move, with Jamie Lee Curtis calling Anderson’s bare face “an act of courage and rebellion” and Scarlett Johansson saying it was a “powerful message for women to see other women rejecting standard beauty norms.”
It’s true that there’s something especially powerful about the unmasking of a star who once embraced the beauty industry to such an extreme. Anderson also seems to reject Hollywood’s relentless obsession with looking young, saying the pursuit is ultimately “futile.”
It stands in stark contrast to some of Anderson’s contemporaries, who are still dancing, dressing, and acting like they did in their 20s, often with mixed results (ahem, Madonna).
Followers are also rooting for Anderson’s relationship with Neeson, who was seemingly drawn to that same sincerity. Their relationship carries the same refreshing quality as Anderson’s beauty revolution.
That’s saying a lot, considering that Anderson has been married five times.
People started noticing the chemistry between Anderson and Neeson on the set of “The Naked Gun” reboot, where Neeson <a href="https://www.glamour.com/story/pamela-anderson-and-liam-neeson-are-dating-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised</a> Anderson by saying “I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with. She’s going to be terrific in the film.”
Anderson offered a glowing review of her own, calling her co-star “the perfect gentleman.”
Recently, the pair even pretended to make out on Today as rumors of their romance persisted. Neeson called their connection “lovely,” while Anderson <a href="https://people.com/pamela-anderson-and-liam-neeson-pretend-to-make-out-on-the-today-show-11780821" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> of their connection, &#8220;I think I have a friend forever in Liam. And we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he&#8217;s a good guy.&#8221; So far, the duo has brushed off any attempts to define their relationship, but it’s obvious just by looking at them that their connection is strong.
To be clear, this isn’t about Anderson becoming some sort of saint. She’s still contradictory. The celeb has been criticized for railing against pornography while insisting that posing nude in Playboy is acceptable because it’s “<a href="https://www.biography.com/actors/a65563161/playboy-pamela-anderson-against-porn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highbrow</a>.” She was married to avid Trump supporter Kid Rock for a year, but she’s also a fervent supporter of PETA and an animal rights activist. And despite <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/pamela-anderson-says-she-once-wanted-to-be-a-nun.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> she once considered becoming a nun and says prayers every morning, Anderson does not openly practice any specific faith.
To sum up, Anderson isn’t becoming a right-wing influencer anytime soon, but her transformation does point to a very Christian concept: redemption.
Pamela Anderson’s transformation from a sex symbol defined by tabloid headlines to an introspective, grounded woman who has openly reflected on her past mirrors, in many ways, the Christian concept of forgiveness of sin. In Christianity, forgiveness isn’t about erasing history, but about redemption: a cleansing that allows a person to step forward no longer bound by who they once were.
Anderson has spoken candidly about her mistakes and struggles, yet her new chapter embodies grace, renewal, and the reclaiming of dignity, which is very much like the believer who, after confessing and repenting, is restored to a new life in Christ.
Her story shows how a person can be fully known, flaws and all, and still be met with compassion, transformation, and a fresh start free from judgement. And that is a truly beautiful thing to behold.

With the first female umpire now working in baseball, it’s time to take a look at how women have made historic strides in the world of professional sports by ruining everything.
You see, in the past, professional sports provided a safe method for wives to get their husbands out of the damned way by placing them in front of the television where they could watch something completely meaningless that wasn’t porn. That way, the wives could get their work done, and if they occasionally dropped in on the TV room with a sandwich and a beer, their husbands would happily devote the rest of their lives to their support and happiness. Later, over dinner, the husbands could describe every play of the game in agonizing detail, which would give the wives time to mentally organize their schedules for the week, since they didn’t have to listen to a word their husbands were saying because it was just about a guy on TV hitting a ball with a stick for some reason. At least their husbands hadn’t spent the day watching some naked girl pretend to enjoy getting strangled during sex, which would only give them bizarre ideas about how they should spend the rest of the weekend.
Now all that has changed. Women are invading every aspect of sports so that men can watch other men doing useless things for no reason while thinking about sexual strangulation at the same time. For instance, after ball games, attractive female sportscasters are now assigned to interview players so male viewers can listen vaguely to some athlete saying, “You’ve gotta take it one game at time,” while simultaneously wondering what the female sportscaster would look like if she were wearing some ridiculous leather contraption and a pair of handcuffs.
Having more women athletes on the field has also changed the nature of sports by ruining everything. Sports used to reflect masculine values like winning and also more winning. But now sports also have to reflect female values which run the gamut from incomprehensible to non-existent depending on the woman’s mood on any given day. For example, when gymnast Simone Biles quit the Tokyo Olympics because she had some girly problem called the twisties, most men felt this was tantamount to losing which, according to many sports analysts, is approximately the opposite of winning. But no. The men were swiftly informed that, in fact, Simone Biles had been very brave to quit like a girl over her girly twisties. And ever since then, Olympic women’s gymnastics has included Quitting as an event, along with Crying, Hugging the Winner as if You Were Happy for Her, and Giving Men a Look that Says they Better not say Something Insensitive or There’ll be Hell to Pay.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-andrew-klavan-show">WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show</a></h3>
In women’s basketball, Caitlin Clark has completely transformed the game by causing people to realize there’s such a thing as women’s basketball. To thank her, black women players have been repeatedly beating the living crap out of Clark for being talented while white. This turns out to be a game that men will actually watch because it involves women wrestling with each other, so now men are showing up at women’s basketball games and hurling sex toys down at the court, which has also made the women’s game more popular by including sex toys. Even so, a woman’s basketball game remains the least popular American event that isn’t a colonoscopy, and when the players recently marched outside the stadium holding signs that said “Pay us what we’re worth,” they discovered they actually owed the league $15,000 apiece.
To prove that it’s not only women who ruin everything in sports, the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings have hired two male cheerleaders. So now, instead of an occasional amusing glimpse of pretty girls prancing around the sidelines in an intriguingly suggestive way, Vikings fans are being treated to two prancing homosexuals, something no sentient creature wants to see except other homosexuals who aren’t even watching sports because they’re homosexual.
And as for the first female umpire, so far her ball and strike calls have been about one and a half percent less accurate than the average male’s, which is being hailed as really great for a girl, and should transform the sport completely, by ruining everything.
