Has the sexual revolution failed? That was the question posed to all in attendance of The Free Press’s first live debate held in downtown Los Angeles—one deemed “a clash of female titans.” Ultimately, the audience decided the cultural moment did in fact deliver on the liberating promises it made to women. As a member of the Gen Z generation who attended the debate, I agree. But that doesn’t mean I’m OK with the resulting effects. Read More ([link removed])

Notices alerting borrowers that student loan repayments will resume on October 1 are hitting mailboxes and emails. For some, it has been a freak-out moment as they consider how they will adjust their budgets to start paying on their debt loads.

** The Women’s Bill of Rights: What You Should Know ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
The discussion around women’s rights has become increasingly challenging due to conflicting interpretations. While most Americans view a ‘woman’ as an adult human female, some radical gender ideologues seek to redefine womanhood beyond biological sex. This shift has significant consequences, including threats to equal opportunities, privacy, safety, and freedom of expression.
Independent Women's Forum's Women’s Bill of Rights aims to address these concerns by providing legal and linguistic clarity.
Here’s what the Women’s Bill of Rights is all about:
* Recognizes inherent biological differences between males and females that emerge before birth and develop with age.
* Defines ‘sex’ as the biological sex (male or female) assigned at birth.
* Defines ‘women’ and ‘girls’ as human females.
* Defines ‘female’ as the sex capable of producing ova (eggs).
* Upholds existing case law against unfair discrimination, while allowing relevant recognition of sex.
* Requires government agencies to identify individuals as male or female at birth in collected vital statistics.

Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a party recently in honor of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. The vice president pulled out her best dance moves for which she was roundly mocked on social media. Cringiness aside, users pointed to the tone-deaf image of our nation’s current vice president carousing while Americans suffer from sundry natural and man-made disasters, as well as economic challenges.

On the West Coast, the San Bernardino Superior Court blocked a policy requiring schools to notify students’ parents if their children change gender identities, names, and/or pronouns. According to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, this ruling “protects kids from harm” by “ensuring the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of inclusivity.”
