For some time, I have been following the efforts of Glenn Sacks to educate people about the nature of domestic violence, which, despite popular opinion, is not solely – or even mostly – initiated and perpetrated by men. However, despite mounting evidence that proves women are every bit as involved in DV as men, old [...]

People have apparently forgotten that you don’t have to be a mother to be a parent. Here in the states one frequently runs across the “herb,” or homo feministus, soft-stepping in the shadow of his swaggering she-man of a wife, often pushing a stroller or wearing a frontal papoose, which was designed for ease of [...]

Perhaps nothing illustrates our society’s blindness concerning the true nature of female sexuality as clearly as the widely held belief that rape is anathema to female desire. If my suspicions are correct, this fiction is likely tied to the same paternalist sub-theology that is responsible for feminism, the family law industrial complex, and widespread, legalized [...]

In the course of my foray into psychology, I decided to look into Carl Jung – who was mentored by Freud for some time – for some new material. From what little I have read so far, I have found Jung to be a very appealing thinker. While conducting some online research, I happened across [...]

Health care is a noble profession, or at least it used to be before people started fiddling with the Hippocratic oath, but it isn’t a productive endeavor, nor is it something we should necessarily want to be a growth industry. In a better society we would need fewer rather than more doctors and health care [...]

Back in the Tour at the age of 37, Lance Armstrong is a monument to perseverance. I have quite a bit of admiration for the man, and don’t give much credence to his detractors. Here he is, a cancer survivor with one mighty testicle, striking fear into the hearts of his younger competitors as his [...]

While perusing jezebel, I found a link to a fascinating study (thanks, girls!) that explains a phenomenon many men have experienced and complain about. Over and over we hear from men that being nice, helpful and gracious only leads to scorn and abuse from women. On the other hand, for a certain class of woman, [...]

Despite being broke and 107 years old, Larry Haubner has defied the propaganda asserting that the married life is healthier and happier. A Dubuque Iowa native who grew up in Tacoma, Wash., he has lived a carefree, if modest life for over a century. His father worked on the railroad, and he worked in a [...]
