      The Weekly Standard tried to destroy @FranklinFoer's career in dishonest attacks. It's a measure of his character that he's written the best obituary for the magazine that characterizes both its strengths and failings.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/12/weekly-standard-ending-high-note/578230/ …

      “It certainly seems strange that being capable of rape can make a person better qualified for greatness, but it’s probably true.” -- Harvey Mansfield in The Weekly Standard, 2011. (h/t @FranklinFoer) Maybe we should just let high-brow conservatism die.https://www.weeklystandard.com/harvey-mansfield/manliness-and-morality …

          Of course if we were to judge TNR by the most idiotic and vile things written in its pages there’d be a lot of things to choose from. Pot meets kettle.

          Yeah, it's true, I'm a notorious apologist for the bad things that have run in TNR and have never criticized them.

          Holy cow. Couldn’t bring myself to read the entire article; the first ten paragraphs were bad enough.

          Read it all it’s a perspective from a man whose lived a while. I’ve held male positions most my life and I get exactly where he’s coming from. I am not one of the weaker sex I guess in his eyes I’m one of the manly ones. Still worth the read.
