I’ve been doing some technical research for a good consolidated blog CMS, and have decided upon a theme (WordPress template) and general structure. However, I’m having a bit of trouble finding a good name. Concepts that ought to be incorporated into the name include: Freedom Action Confidence Purpose Masculinity A short name, preferably only one [...]

Justin has a very funny post titled “The Origins of Game: Jesus” over at his Religion News. As far as I can tell, it’s a combination of parody and truth. Perhaps one of the most amusing things about the post is that it’s pretty much right on the money (although the game terminology could use [...]

For a somewhat lighter subject, I’d like to discuss the issue of women in pants. For some reason, pants have been cast as “liberating” for the modern woman.

Nick Kristoff, a NY Times opinion columnist who writes like a Unitarian minister and pens self-serving articles urging liberals to give more money (his wife is in the philanthropy business), has come up with a long piece advocating a “Crusade” on behalf of women all over the world. In the article, Kristoff and his Chinese [...]

Some time ago, I read Steve Sailer’s theory concerning the disparity in rates of interracial marriage, i.e. why more black men marry white women than white men marry black women, and why more white men marry Asian women than Asian men marry white women. Sailer puts it down to biology, and, using his statistical expertise [...]

I’ve read Whiskey‘s arguments that advertisers and media companies ignore men at their own peril, but I thought he might be overstating the situation somewhat. I’ll admit that I’m primarily a reader, so TV and film are kind of an afterthought to me — I don’t really know what’s going on in Hollywood. However, when [...]
