One often hears that children will be OK after divorce, but this is far from the truth. It is like saying that surviving the trauma of homelessness or victimization from war will not have a lasting effect on children. It’s simply a falsehood perpetuated to make adults feel better about the lousy choices they have [...]

While reading Roissy’s blog comments, Bhetti Ameen, a young Arab medical student in the UK (read her blog), asked a question that made me stop and think. After reading about the case of Frank Hatley, a South Georgia man who was ordered to pay years of child support for a child that was not his, [...]

July 1st, 2009 · 8 Comments
The Ashley Madison website and company have been garnering attention again, and yet people tut-tut the business without bothering to check into its origins. Having heard enough about the place, I thought I’d check into the founder’s past, and sure enough the pimp is a crook. Imagine that… The founder of Ashley Madison is one [...]

Why the Market Ignores Men

I recently read an older piece on Salon titled “Save the Males” about the work of Warren Farrell, a former radical feminist who gave up a very lucrative career in feminism when he began to advocate men’s rights as well. According to the article, he drove a Maserati, had a “gorgeous” home in the country [...]

Harpending on Illegitimacy: Blush on the Cheeks of Reality
June 15th, 2009 · 6 Comments
While perusing the Google for illegitimacy stats, I came across an old Sailer article titled “Black Illegitimacy Declines” that was written for UPI back in 2003. Like a number of other bloggers, I have been thinking about the “canary in the coal mine” theory, which suggests that what happened to black society and the black [...]
Feminist Poetry — A Glimpse into the Female Mind?
June 8th, 2009 · 9 Comments
I have always loved poetry, especially that which deals with the eternal questions of existence, with longings for answers, and with those experiences that embody truth. However, I have never been a big fan of erotic poetry, and I assume that the same goes for the majority of men. And I can state with some [...]
Defining Ourselves
June 7th, 2009 · 9 Comments
Throughout history it has been common for people to be defined by their occupation. We can see this in surnames such as Smith, Wright, Miller, etc. Today, when people are mentioned in articles, their occupations are usually listed along with their age and place of residence, for example: “Justin Martin, a 26-year-old construction worker from [...]
More on Men’s Sanctuaries
May 27th, 2009 · 8 Comments
Some readers have come up with some ideas and suggestions for what a men’s space ought to like. Lukobe brought up the “working men’s clubs,” an old British tradition from the industrial era that provided men with an opportunity to socialize and support each other. Niko wrote that his local soccer club serves a similar [...]

May 26th, 2009 · 16 Comments
As everyone knows, there are a number of women’s shelters in operation all over the country, and in these shelters women can obtain free counsel, protection, and shelter. In most cases, men are not allowed to reside in these government funded shelters, and until recently their services were often only extended to women. People often [...]
