HOW PORN HAS TAKEN OVER THE CLASSROOM, by Jo Bartosch and Robert Jessel. “Two decades on from the explosion of free, on-demand online porn, we are beginning to have a much clearer picture of the effects on the first generation to grow up with it. It is not merely sexualising children, but radically altering their conception of what constitutes healthy relationships. Recent research from the Children’s Commissioner makes this clear: just under half of young people (of both sexes) think girls expect sex to involve physical aggression; a further 42 per cent say girls enjoy physically aggressive sex acts.” Read more here.

IT’S WORLD FERTILITY DAY: SHOULD WE CELEBRATE FERTILITY OR PUNISH IT?, by Kimberly Ells. “Nov. 2, 2025, is World Fertility Day. The Earth is now home to over 8 billion people. The global population is projected to continue rising for the next few decades, and then a population decline—perhaps a precipitous one—is expected to begin. This decline is coming because, on average, women are having fewer babies. The decades-long drop in fertility is precipitated by many factors, including the continuing aftershocks of China’s forced one-child policy that punished women’s fertility rather than celebrating it.” Read more here.

HOW RESPECTING WOMEN’S BIOLOGY FOSTERS A CULTURE OF LIFE, by Joy Pullmann. “According to demographer Nicholas Eberstadt, for the first time in human history since the bubonic plague in the medieval 1300s, global population is declining. The world’s fertility rate just hit a 60-year low, and it’s set to keep decreasing. The nations with replacement-rate fertility are largely terrible places where people die young, such as Somalia, the Congo, and Afghanistan. The United States faces a population bomb of not too many people, but too few.” Read more here.

‘DEAR HOCKEY: GOODBYE’ – ANOTHER FEMALE ATHLETE STANDS UP AGAINST TRANSGENDERISM, by Sarah Holliday. “After 20 years of professional hockey, Rachel Stoneberg is quitting — not because she wanted to retire, but because she refuses to compete against a biological man. Stoneberg has been skating since the 7th grade. In addition to her 20 years with the Women’s Hockey Association of Minnesota (WHAM), Stoneberg also skated for the University of St. Thomas. Her departure from the ice came with a public announcement — a written letter, directed at WHAM, and recently shared on social media. Stoneberg titled it, ‘Dear Hockey: Goodbye.’” Read more here.

MUGGED BY REALITY, by Anita Bartholomew. “Ellie* used to think that parents who didn’t affirm their gender-confused kids were on the far-right fringe, or were misinformed, or fire-and-brimstone evangelicals—or all of the above. Definitely not enlightened liberals like herself. To the extent she thought of it at all, she’d have assumed that only conservatives questioned their kids wanting to ‘transition.’ Then the cult came for her kid. ‘I love Jon Stewart and John Oliver and Stephen Colbert,’ says Ellie. ‘And my son was right next to me watching these guys. And I didn’t get it.’” Read more here.

“SOMETIMES IT PAYS TO BE GAY AND DO CRIME,” by Stu Smith. “You may have seen the phrase ‘Be Gay, Do Crime’ before. It appears in bright neon as graffiti after a protest, next to an image of a dumpster fire or opossum, as a sticker on a radical professor’s brand-new MacBook, or in the social media bio of a particularly vitriolic Internet troll. The meme has also made its way to bookshelves in the form of Be Gay, Do Crime: Everyday Acts of Queer Resistance and Rebellion, a recently released anthology from the radical publishing house PM Press. The book is openly revolutionary.” Read more here.

‘DATA ACTIVISM’ AND THE DEATH OF TRUTH, by Colin Wright. “Over the past few decades, universities have churned out a steady stream of papers so detached from reality that they often read like parodies. Many of them have been highlghted right here on Reality’s Last Stand: the infamous ‘feminist glaciology’ paper that sought to “decolonize” ice; the surreal paper where two ‘hydrosexual’ researchers married brine shrimp and made love to a lake; and the deeply disturbing pieces on ‘queering babies’ and questioning childhood sexual innocence. …Now, a new peer-reviewed article in Big Data & Society breaks new ground by openly arguing that lying with data is not only acceptable but morally required when it comes to transgender issues.” Read more here.
