First, I would like to submit this article for the “best title ever” award. Kudos Tracy Clark-Flory. Moving on. In what I can only imagine is a “duh” type of moment for gay men, it’s seems that many straight guys are also enjoying, um, anal stimulation (aka “pegging”) of some variety or another. Well, that […]
This interview with professor Michael Kimmel is an excellent primer on the “men’s rights” movement – what it is and isn’t, what it’s greviences are, and where it diverges from the “father’s rights” movement and the pro-feminist “men’s liberation” groups. It’s confusing territory, but Kimmel does a wonderful job of disentangling these groups. “Men’s rights” […]
This NYT column by Maureen Dowd has provoked much discussion. Is it really a gender flip that the women wanted us to get involved in Libya when the men resisted? I think too much is made of this. For one thing, the women all invoked humanitarian reasons for involvement while the men resisted for practical […]
We seem to be seeing more writings from men and women where the man is home with children and the woman works.

I am curious about the underlying assumption in this and other writings that one parent […]

In families where men are absent, women do everything and display their resilience and strength every day. They don’t call themselves feminists but their daily activities send the message that women (rightly or wrongly) are […]
This article by women in the Financial Post of Canada really annoys me. It completely misses the point that the rules by which people are employed and judged are still mostly designed to the specs of men with wives at home. Women don’t want to necessarily be judged the same as men but they do […]
In this post from a University of California student, Kathleen Rosell we get yet another testimonial of how destructive porn can be on a real live intimate relationship. If it is true that more porn leads to expectations of stereotyped female behavior and poorer personal relations, how will this affect long term intimacy and commitment? […]
This is a really interesting discussion and video with Tom Matlock of The Good Men Project on men and guns. I’m a little baffled by it. Maybe women who hold guns also feel powerful and empowered and it is that feeling that is so seductive. I do appreciate Matlock’s honesty as he seems surprised at […]
