Monogamy is not natural — but is ideal
The following letter to the editor that I wrote was recently published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. We may disapprove of politicians getting into sex scandals, but we should not be shocked, regardless of the person’s moral beliefs. The simple truth is that monogamy is not a natural state for humans of either gender. Millions of... »

Gender, Lies and Phil McGraw
With the moral foundation of an Enron executive, he sells snake oil packaged as solutions. He appears to listen to peoples problems, but what he really hears is cha-ching. That’s the sound a man’s head makes when you sucker punch him on national television. All this is delivered with an endearing hint of Texas... »

Domestic Violence
Even the mention of the words conjures up the larger than life image of some battered, bruised woman on a highway billboard; a day glow orange hot-line number beneath her visage, and some catchy slogan like “love shouldn’t hurt.” And no, I am not insensitive to battered women. My heart goes out to any real... »

The Long, Agonizing Decline of the United States
We are following the downward path of Great Britain, one of the two greatest of Western history’s empires. We can draw several cautionary lessons from the history of our British cousins. Of all the world’s nations we and the UK are most similar, both in our rise and in our decline. In addition... »

A Surprising Race To Courtesy!
In a previous essay I wrote about a small talk acquaintanceship with a man I called “Mike.” The previous essay can be accessed at http://mensnewsdaily.com/2008/11/03/sexual-harassment-men’s-and-women’s-behaviors-“mike”-and-i. I incorrectly described Mike as a construction worker in that column. He actually worked in the office of a construction firm. I made the mistake because I had seen him... »

Jackson’s death a teaching moment re: ‘normal’ behavior
The death of Michael Jackson and the ensuing struggle between those that want to deify him and those that — pardon the pun — want to bury him for his alleged crimes, opens the door for a much needed discussion about child molestation. Full disclosure: not a fan. A visually compelling artist perhaps,... »

Lady Justice: Eyes Wide Shut?
Choosing the rule of law over the rule of man marked a signal event in the history of civilization. Those seeking to implement “social justice” through the courts want Lady Justice to take off her blindfold so she can see the faces of the poor huddled victims of American class injustice—and rule accordingly. Make no... »

Eliminating homosexuality: Nazi Germany and Modern Uganda
Self-styled pro-family advocate, Scott Lively, has made a career of drawing parallels from Nazi Germany to modern homosexuality.

When Infidelity Is Inevitable
Disrespect and Manipulation Humans are biologically wired for infidelity, we hear. Monogamy is an artificial lifestyle, they say. Men and women cheat on each other because they just can’t help themselves, right? Wrong. People who respect and value themselves don’t cheat; moreover, they attract like-minded partners. Infidelity is a choice — as obesity, substance abuse, and ignorance... »
