Manipulating - This is What Feminism Looks Like
Â
A new PR campaign to promote feminism reminds me of my children; shove everything under the bed where mom or dad can’t see it, then presto, the room appears clean and tidy.
This same tactic is being used for a promotional video put out by the Feminist Majority. In the video, numerous well-known Hollywood actors, male [...]

Obama’s Speech Not Necessarily Honest
 Normally I don’t dwell into racial politics, but lately, like everyone else, I feel that I have become drawn into. And the reason why I will write about it now is because of the similarities I see between black leaders and feminist leaders. Both groups demand others hold themselves accountable for any “ism”, whether [...]

Advertisers Trying To Get It - From A Woman
There has been much debate about how advertisers portray men and fathers in the media. For sometime now men’s rights and father’s rights groups have been creating awareness and engaging in protests campaigns in an effort to derail the common default logic that the best way to reach the male consumer is to portray [...]

Domestic Violence Prevention - More Hyperbole Than Truth:Part 3
I previously wrote how I feel anti-sexist advocate Jackson Katz is one of many domestic violence advocates who use hyperbole in their work, which in turn, leads society towards more of a misunderstanding, rather than a greater understanding, of domestic violence and its causes. Mr. Katz postulates that a “masculinity crisis” is responsible for [...]

Domestic Violence Prevention - More Hyperbole Than Truth:Part 2
In my last article, “Domestic Violence Prevention - More Hyperbole Than Truth: Part 1″, I wrote about Jackson Katz, an anti-sexist advocate who’s work focuses on the so called “crisis” in masculinity, and how this crisis leads to violence against women and other men. I wrote that I’m sure Mr. Katz means well, and [...]

Domestic Violence Prevention - More Hyperbole Than Truth:Part 1
As a writer of male issues, I find myself facing a paradox when I come across individuals that are showing a genuine concern for men’s issues, but after further review, find their ideology behind the work is suspect, and/or their methods to address the problems appear to exaserbate the problem rather than offer a [...]

Yes, I Am An Extremist
Since I have been indirectly labeled an extremist, I feel this qualifies me to be in the position to reach out to others who may be the same.
This is how I felt after reading Jonah Bloom’s article at Glenn Sack’s blog. Jonah is Executive Editor and writer for Advertising Age, a weekly marketing and [...]

I Want Success… And Exploit Myself
Who is actually responsible for overt female sexualization.
I asked myself this question after a week in which adult women were reported to be engaged in what some in society would label “improper” or “lewd” behavior.
First, the Sacramento King cheerleaders have brought attention upon themselves after provocative photos of the women surfaced on the internet. [...]

The “Liberties” of Female Violence
Has anyone noticed the way we in society defend various forms of female violence, but are disturbed greatly by various forms of male violence?
This phenomenon is being played out in Berkeley California, where the city council made an attempt to run the Marine Corp. recruiters out of town. This was an attempt by the city [...]
