SUZANNE VENKER: Stop Telling Men They’re Defective Women. “Read carefully, and you’ll notice that almost every article on the struggles couples face with respect to the work-family battle blames men. The cultural narrative is that women do it all, while the men in their lives are Neanderthals who need to get with the program. The saddest part of this bogus message, aside from the obvious damage it creates, is that it’s so far from the truth it’s ridiculous.”

ELITES AGAINST WESTERN CIVILIZATION: The move to cancel Gauguin could kill off Western culture.

At a current Paul Gauguin exhibition at London’s National Gallery, visitors are warned that the famous French painter had sexual relationships with young girls, including two with whom he fathered children.

A wall text notes, “Gauguin undoubtedly exploited his position as a privileged Westerner [in French Polynesia] to make the most of the sexual freedoms available to him.”

An audio guide even raises the question, “Is it time to stop looking at Gauguin altogether?”

This is what art appreciation has come to: a PC prism through which a painting, a work of literature or even a popular song must be scrutinized for racism, sexism, gender bias or just plain hurt feelings.

New York museums haven’t banned anything yet. But look out: Metropolitan Museum of Art director Max Hollein told The New York Times that, “Art cannot solely be perceived in regard to its beauty and craftsmanship. You also have to evaluate it in light of its political messages.”

Talk about getting in just under the wire — last month, the Met ended its run of “Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll,” featuring the guitars and keyboards owned by Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and numerous other rockers. Wait until the Met’s curators discover what those guys did as privileged Westerners to make the most of the sexual freedoms available to them!

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: CNN Determined to Normalize ‘Throuple’ Queen Katie Hill. “That’s right kids, it’s the fault of the ‘right-wing’ that she had an affair with a staffer and left a fair amount of tawdry detritus from her sex life strewn about the place for people to find.”

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Note the female Democratic privilege. By comparison: Why is WaPo treating Joe Barton like a villain rather than a victim after someone published his nude pic? “Arguably, in fact, this doesn’t even qualify as a sex ‘scandal.’ Barton and his wife were already separated and on their way to divorce when he had this fling with the woman to whom he sent the photo and he did nothing criminal in warning her not to share it publicly. He used laughably poor judgment in sending the photo to begin with but the recipient behaved less morally by violating his confidence than he did in sending it to her. And yet, to read WaPo, you’d think he had wronged her, not vice versa. How come?”

Apparently, only women can be victims of “revenge porn.” And probably only lefty women, if you really want to press the point.

While Russian collusion was meant to be a knockout blow, it may, in the end, be his key to political survival.”

POT COMMITTED: Schiff says Democrats will press forward despite lack of testimony from key impeachment witnesses.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) said Sunday that his panel will press ahead with its impeachment report even though key witnesses have not testified, in the latest signal that Democrats are moving swiftly in their probe of President Trump’s alleged efforts to pressure Ukraine.

In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Schiff said the evidence against Trump is “already overwhelming,” although he stopped short of saying whether he would support impeachment himself.

Translation: The evidence is not overwhelming, and polls are trending against impeachment.
