Adam Traister finally says it: Men need to be speak up about abortion. We all need to speak up about abortion. The current severe crack down on both abortion and birth control ignores the fact that is affects a very large percentage of men and women, especially when you include birth control. Obviously men also […]
Check out Hanna Rosin’s most recent. Talk about a “shift generation”- A recent review of Census data shows that women under the age of 30 are making more money than men in all but three of the 150 biggest cities in the United States. Meanwhile, in a recent Pew Research Center survey, 67 percent of […]
A new Pew Study finds that “Even though most Americans have grown more comfortable with same-sex or unmarried couples raising children, they still view single mothers as detrimental to society, according to a new poll of attitudes toward the country’s soaring number of nontraditional families.” 40% of births are to unmarried women in this country.

Currently, men are reporting higher levels of work family conflict than women.” Few people know more about the state of the American family’s past and present besides Stephanie Coontz, the […]
If I had my own Keith Olbermann style “Worst Person in the World” category, Courtland Malloy would certainly get it today. Malloy’s unbelievably offensive Washington Post column takes the parenting controversy stirred by Amy Chua’s new book, “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” and adds his own, special misogynist take-away: Apparently, the book is actually a […]
One of the founders of the Good Men Project shares his views on how to raise good boys. My favorite: ” If you don’t believe in God, you will once you have lain next to your overactive son while his body goes limp next to you, and he ever so faintly begins to snore.” More […]
When I was 21, the man I was madly in love with turned to me and said ruefully, “I mean, what I can do that you can’t do? I don’t know what I’m supposed to be. What’s the point of being a guy”? I seem to recall that we were moving boxes, and I was […]
