I hate to sound PC, or whatever, but most of the women in the widely distributed “America’s Next Top Model” ad below are just too damn thin for my tastes and, I think, for most men’s. The blonde lady in green near the bottom (who looks like she was just liberated from Buchenwald) and...

Again on the subject of men working to support their families, inspired by the Japanese situation I wrote about in They Worked 40 Years to Support Their Wives and Kids and Now They’re Just ‘Bulky Trash’ and The Downeaster ‘Alexa’. One of the great modern distortions of history–one particularly prevalent in academia–is the ridiculous pretense...

I’ve discussed John Curtis’ book The Business of Love before, and his observations of the all-important issue of money in marriages are very astute–see Marriages, Money and the Business of Love. Since we’ve been discussing blended families and step moms lately–see Parental Alienation Tactics Used Against Rudy Giuliani’s Wife–I was reminded of a segment on blended...

“You’re all just pissin’ in the wind/You don’t know it but you are. And there ain’t nothin’ like a friend/Who can tell you you’re just pissin’ in the wind.”–Neil Young, from “Ambulance Blues” Because feminism is such a driving force in the political left, it is very difficult to get liberals and leftists to listen...

An interesting letter from a California child support obligor about my column When Beating up on ‘Deadbeat Dads’ is Unfair (Houston Chronicle, 1/7/07) . Robert writes: “I read your article with great interest. You raise a good point, but you did not touch upon the many good fathers with good-paying careers who are also struggling just to...

I appeared this evening on the nationally-syndicated Lars Larson Show to discuss our Campaign Against Anti-Male Advertising and my new Adweek column Father Knows Best. Larson was very supportive of our campaign–I’m not sure if Larson’s shows are archived, but if they are we’ll post the audio of the segment.

Regarding Visitation Traps, an excerpt from PI/custody case advisor Guy White’s book Child Custody A to Z,  one reader writes: “This is exactly what happened to me. I had joint custody of my son until my ex. sent me an email ‘revoking’ my visitation with him. “When I went over to her place to protest, (at this point she...

The new USA Today article Women Increasingly Paying Alimony features women who are unhappy that they have to pay alimony. Some of the complaints seem to have validity, but it struck me as odd that the article explained in great detail the women’s feelings but not once did they ask any of the men who were...

  The above cartoon by Nick Anderson of the Houston Chronicle makes a good point. Just as the 2004 election was decided partly on the critical issue of what John Kerry did or did not do on a Swift Boat in the late 1960s, it now appears that, at least for the moment, the debate over global warming and...

The California Assembly just passed a domestic violence bill which deliberately perpetuates the state’s harmful policy of excluding men and their children from receiving state-funded domestic violence services. Under AB 2051, only “battered women” are eligible for the shelters, hotel vouchers, counseling and legal services the state provides victims of domestic violence. We’re calling...

The ’90s were a bad time to be a father in California. The O.J. Simpson case helped usher in draconian domestic violence policies that have victimized many innocent men. State-mandated mandatory/presumptory arrest policies exhort police to make arrests on domestic violence calls, and “primary aggressor” policies pressure officers to view men as the instigators...
