I’m a friend of The Washington Post.
I had been a proud reader of the paper for more than 50 years. My younger brother and I delivered the Post in high school. Shortly after we got married, my wife worked at the Post. She and I attended Post holiday parties. While pregnant with our first child, she even met publisher Donald Graham when he helped her get a chocolate bar from a balky vending machine.
But in 2018 my lifelong pride in the Post finally turned to shame after the paper published two undeniably gender-biased articles: Why can't we hate men? and Amber Heard’s libelous op-ed against Johnny Depp.
What has happened to the Post?
At one time the Post was a premier newspaper that courageously published the Pentagon Papers and later exposed political malfeasance with its legendary Watergate reporting.
How in God’s name could that same newspaper years later publish “Why can't we hate men?”, an article that, by its very title, can only be described as “hate speech” and that mocks the Post’s own slogan, “Democracy Dies in Darkness”?
It’s because the Post and nearly every other media organization throughout the world, which are supposed to serve free societies as a bulwark against oppression and tyranny, have been co-opted by a dishonest, decades-long, gender-biased campaign of feminist political, legal, and cultural indoctrination — with a distorted, one-sided view of the two sexes, where women are portrayed as always-innocent victims and men as privileged, women-hating oppressors.
For the past 50 years the Post — and nearly all of the world’s media — has failed spectacularly in serving the public interest and adhering to journalistic ethics. In their blind support of “gender equality”, media outlets worldwide have helped to spread a feminist-driven hate movement.
I’ve created this Substack site in order to bring public attention to the Post’s anti-male gender bias, and to challenge the paper’s management, columnists, and other staff to recognize and and collectively speak out against this bias. A primary part of this effort is sending letters to Post columnists who have written articles that propagate the Post’s anti-male prejudice.
When will The Washington Post finally admit that publishing the two aforementioned articles was a huge mistake, one that proves the newspaper’s feminist-inspired worldview is horribly biased against men and boys and is an affront to common decency?
When enough people tell the Post that it must, finally, recognize these biases, to acknowledge them, and most importantly, to bring back a fair-minded balance to its coverage of gender issues.

Help bring the Washington Post back to sanity and respectability.
