Misandry
Posted on February 21, 2011Misandry is the hatred of men, and the history of the word misandry is fascinating. Misandry shows up as a typo in my spell check program, and I've never heard a person use misandry in conversation - although misogyny is part of every college person's lexicon...
Ninth Circuit Law Blog
Posted on February 21, 2011A law school classmate of mine has started a law blog. She and a few others cover cases published in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. She is smart, and the blog is good. Here it is.
Wall Street Journal "Covers" the Man Strike
Posted on February 20, 2011"In order to live, man must act; in order to act, he must make choices; in order to make choices, he must define a code of values; in order to define a code of values, he must know what he is and where he is ? i.e. he must know his own nature (including his means of knowledge) and the...
Carl Jung on Rep. Christopher Lee and Chanel Dresses
Posted on February 18, 2011When Representative Christopher Lee posted a shirtless picture of himself, the Two Minutes Hate was immediate. How dare a 46-year-old man take his shirt off?! Lots of guys who never look as good as Lee said, "He looks good for a 46-year old." Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal has an article about old, ugly women who wear $15,000 dresses to...
Gourmet Protein Shake Recipe
Posted on February 18, 2011Some days a man wants to get in touch with his inner Epicurean by indulging in the finer things. Generally we should mix our protein powder in water, stir it a few times, and call it an afternoon. What happens when you want to pamper yourself? Here is the perfect recipe...
Everyone Stares at a Nice Ass
Posted on February 17, 2011What happens when you mount a hidden video camera to a hot chick's ass?
Meditation
Posted on February 17, 2011Sometime I'll tell the story about a guy who was recruiting me to be heir apparent to his cult. Meditation is something I've done since I was 19, and I've been doing more of it lately. A lot of people do passive meditation. They sit silently in a corner somewhere...
Men are Boring
Posted on February 17, 2011When "men" at The Spearhead grouse about not being able to find dates, I often ask them, "What did you do last weekend?" Most played video games. It's a woman's fault she doesn't want to be around your pathethic ass? Imagine if a guy approached a woman he knew, and proposed this date idea: ?Have you ever been to the...
Why Work Doesn't Happen at Work
Posted on February 16, 2011"Where do you go when you really need to get something done?" If the answer is, "The office," isn't it also the case that no one else is at the office? Thus, the idea of No-Talk Thursdays is really good. As Robin Hanson might ask: Is work really about getting work done? Is being a manager really about managing people,...
Bipolar Disorder Meets "Eat, Pray, Love"
Posted on February 16, 2011When my mom was 23 or 24, she had a horrible headache. Afterwards, she started hallucinating. AS her mom had been institutionalized for schizophrenia, my dad took her to the doctor. She was diagnosed what was then called Manic Depression. My dad had options...
Men Have Outsourced Their Balls
Posted on February 15, 2011Yesterday's most-discussed article at the Wall Street Journal contained a lot of truth. Entitled, "The Secret to a Happy Marriage: Do the Dishes, Put Out, Don?t Talk So Much," the article only had one problem. It's author - who also wrote Spousonomics - is a woman...
Valentine's Day Fairy Tale
Posted on February 15, 2011G Rated: Once upon a time a man asked a woman to marry him and the woman said "No!" The man then began riding his motorcycle, going hunting and fishing, playing golf and baseball, drinking lots of beer and whiskey, hanging out with his friends, saving his money, leaving the toilet seat up, farting whenever he wanted and lived happily...
Arianna Huffington and the Soul of the Left
Posted on February 13, 2011No time to write something serious, but I would like to share some great news. All those idiots who wrote for the Huffington Post are getting nothing from the $315 million dollar AOL-HuffPo deal. Capital always exploits Labor, you dolts. Or did you really think Arianna - who sucked-and-fucked her way to half of her bi-sexual husband's fortune - was...
Why You Shouldn't Take the Huffington Post Seriously
Posted on February 13, 2011Arianna and her other fat cat friends on Wall Street are sharing $315 million. The people who actually contributed to the site are making...0 millions, 0 dollars, and 0 cents. This revelation is of no surprise to me. Arianna is a member of the power elite...
When Men Go on Strike
Posted on February 12, 2011This interesting chart proves what we've been saying for years: For a civilization to function, you need young men supporting the civilization. When they check out, here's what happens. See also, The Rise of Generation Zero Part 1, and Part 2. In the comments thread to the chart, Economist readers seem perplexed...
Why I Don't Care About Egypt
Posted on February 10, 2011I was having lunch at a nearby park when I saw some dried dog shit. Someone must have left it earlier. As a human, I too often think about moral blame rather than community building. "Well, I didn't leave the dog shit there," I used to rationalize leaving it...
Are Women Bloggers Haters?
Posted on February 09, 2011The American Bar Association each year chooses what it views as the top 100 legal blogs for the ABA 100. Blogs are nominated and categorized. When Mirriam Seddiq's blog won top Criminal Defense Blog, did women line up to congratulate her? When that stupid ABA 100 thing came out, there were articles written about how it was so unfair to...
Women, Bloggers, and Wikipedia
Posted on February 08, 2011Every year, a meme in the legal blogosphere surfaces: Where are all the women? Everyone gets very concerned for women, who apparently are being prevented from blogging. Who is preventing women from blogging? No one says. Well, it's "men," we are told...
Commercialism
Posted on February 07, 2011People are agreeing to be offended by Groupon's Super Bowl advertisement. The ad is offensive only because all good art is offensive. Has there ever been a better representation of commercialism? Culture is not something that has aesthetic or intrinsic value...
Henry Rollins on the Death of Mentorship
Posted on February 07, 2011The twofold test of great writing asks whether the work remains true centuries later, and whether the reader's interpretation of the work changes over time. Henry Rollins' essay, "The Iron," was something I read as an ode to lifting weights. That is the interpretation of a very young man...
No Country for Young Men
Posted on February 07, 2011Do you think that honorably serving as a solider in the United States Army immunizes a man from a false-rape charge? My story started last summer when we got back from Iraq. My best friend and I went to a night club and long story short I had sex with a woman...
Italy, Greece, and the United States
Posted on February 06, 2011This is a deep observation: "Ancient Greece is to present day Greeks as ancient Rome is to Italians today. (0 to nothing that is...)." The same could be said of the relationship between the Founding Fathers and today's Americans. The interesting question is, Why?
Beta Gets Beat Down
Posted on February 06, 2011The Spearhead, although ostensibly not its mission, collects examples of beta males in action - if one can ever properly use the word action in the same sentece as beta. A recent story illustrations how domestic violence laws are applied to beta males: Jeffrey Kodlowski, of Westland Michigan, and his wife had a dispute over whether she was having an...
Paging the Southern Poverty Law Center and Eric Holder
Posted on February 06, 2011Is this a hate crime? Will the Southern Poverty Law Center file a lawsuit against Doughman Media? Will Attorney General Eric Holder order a Hate Crime Task Force to investigate? Or is is OK to beat white people nearly to death? The video validates my brutal approach to common street criminals...
California Traffic Ticket Fines
Posted on February 05, 2011I deliberately know nothing about traffic tickets, but some cursory research reveals that this list is accurate. Although California is known as a "liberal" state, it's clear that Big Fines are outcome of even "liberal" Big Governments. Someone has to feed the Leviathan...
