There’s a fun video running around where a bunch of gay guys tell straight men they should be pushing for gay maraiuge to get gay men all settled down, or they’ll take all the girlfriends away because women prefer gay men generally anyway.…
DOUBLE STANDARDS – And Sexist Piggery – Her Husband Has No Say In the Matter, Of Course
Caroline Hax had an article recently in which a woman came to her about her husband who didn’t want her pregnancy to continue. He didn’t want another child. This pregnancy was the result of years of IVF attempts, and the husband had changed his mind at some point.…
MISANDRY – Men and children, again
Men keep reporting all kinds of bigoted women confronting them in public when they are around children, even their own.

“I’m a child free kind of guy.…
PARENTING – “Back Off, Stay-At-Home Dads” – In Praise of SAHDs
I don’t know who Amy Ruble is, but I love her. She has an article up at Dad or Alive that is both clever and substantive. Basically she is faux-lamenting the demise of the cult of Stay At Home Moms.

GENERAL – Useful new words and acronyms, Part II
More new words and expressions! Catachosis – This is a play on “catachesis” or the more widely used “catechism”. It means religious indoctrination.
