Why Men Should Be Willing To Die For Women
By Hugo SchwyzerJuly 31, 2012
Hugo Schwyzer says that while the three men who took bullets for their girlfriends in the Aurora, Colo., shootings are definitely deserving of recognition, more women have died for men throughout history. Twenty-eight years ago this week, I sat mesmerized in a Monterey movie theater, watching Prince’s Purple Rain. Though almost every song in the film became a hit, the track that stuck wi...Posted in Culture and Politics, Current Events, Hugo, Manhood, Mothers, Movies, nfti-home | (0) Comments »
Why Men Have Trouble With Intimacy
By Bill ClokeJuly 30, 2012
Real intimacy, unlike sex or hanging out, requires a vulnerability the man code prohibits. The other night while at dinner with some friends (all married or with someone) something occurred that is so common I barely took notice of it. One of the women popped up and went to the restroom and four other women jumped up and went with her. We’ve seen this a million times. They go off to the ...Posted in Gender Roles, Manhood, nfti-home, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
Why Chivalry Must Die
By Abigail CollazoJuly 25, 2012
Like most women, I believe my male friends to be nice people. They don’t catcall or sexually harass women on the street, they are thoughtful and sweet, and they believe in women’s equality and gender justice like good progressives. And so I give them a break on chivalry, because I know that they don’t mean anything by it. They aren’t intending to be disrespectful, to de...Posted in Culture and Politics, Feminism, Gender Roles, Manhood, nfti-home, Womanhood | (0) Comments »
The World Will Be A Better Place When We Redefine Sex
By Charlie GlickmanJuly 24, 2012
Sex educator Charlie Glickman offers his reasons why more men should open up to the idea of anal sex. There are lots of things we can do to make the world a better place. We can reduce our consumption of irreplaceable resources, we can develop our capacity to bring compassion to our relationships, we can support people in crisis or need—there’s plenty to be done. And there’s ...Posted in Gender Roles, Manhood, nfti-home, Sex, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
11 Ways Men Can Be Better Feminist Allies
By Ozy FrantzJuly 24, 2012
Ozy Frantz offers 11 ways men can be better allies to women, including learning a few things about gender, challenging their female friends, and supporting a woman's bodily autonomy. 1) Educate yourself. One summer, in high school, I literally read every book the library had about feminism. You don’t have to go that far, but a familiarity with concepts like male privilege, slut-shaming, ...Posted in Feminism, Gender Roles, Manhood, nfti-home, Sex and Relationships, Womanhood | (0) Comments »
Why Most Mass Murderers Are Privileged White Men
By Hugo SchwyzerJuly 23, 2012
Hugo Schwyzer says white male privilege is partly to blame for both the location and the scale of the recent Aurora, Colorado movie theater murders. Are white men particularly prone to carrying out the all-too-familiar mass killings of which last week’s Aurora shooting is just the latest iteration? Is there something about the white, male, middle-class experience that makes it easier for...Posted in Culture and Politics, Current Events, Manhood, nfti-home, Hugo | (0) Comments »
I'm A Former Douchebag Ready To Settle Down
By Mark MansonJuly 22, 2012
Can a self-admitted promiscuous douchebag "settle down," commit to one woman, and possibly start a family? Mark Manson certainly hopes so. I’m not sure exactly when it happened, if it was a specific moment or a subtle, unconscious desire that slowly crept up on me. There was no great, inspiring event or eye-opening moment. I don’t think I even noticed it until it had been happening...Posted in Dating, Infidelity, Manhood, nfti-home, Sex, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
I Refuse To Believe That Men Enjoy Cuddling
By Lynn BeisnerJuly 19, 2012
Lynn Beisner wonders if the men who say they like to cuddle are simply doing it to please their wives or girlfriends. In Harris O'Malley’s article debunking the idea that women do not want sex, titled "It's OK To Want Sex," he examines one half of our culture’s myth “that men and women are diametrically opposed by their very nature; men want sex, women want love.” He do...Posted in Gender Roles, Lynn, Manhood, nfti-home, Sex, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
Zumba With Men: Meeting A Guy On The Dance Floor
By Emily RappJuly 18, 2012
Does a fast-paced dancing-based workout class make the man who enjoys it any less manly? Absolutely not, says Emily Rapp, who has found a male friend for life on the sweat-filled dance floor. I am a self-anointed gym rat. Although I live in Santa Fe, a city famous for its year-round accessibility to outdoor recreational pursuits, apart from the occasional gut-busting hike or a trip to the loca...Posted in Gender Roles, Manhood, nfti-home, Pop Culture, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
Why Can't A Woman Take Her Top Off In Public?
By Juliet KelsoJuly 17, 2012
Juliet Kelso dissects a YouTube video that begs the question: Can men and women ever be equal if women aren't allowed to take their tops off in public? The popular YouTube video titled “Why Men and Women Can Never Be Equal” involves a man and a woman mimicking one another on the metro. They are strangers, take notice of one another, and the woman starts playfully mimicking the man&...Posted in Culture and Politics, Gender Roles, Internet and Social Media, Manhood, nfti-home, Pornography, Womanhood | (0) Comments »
