Before Marriage During Marriage End of Marriage

The sweet perfume of the Matriarchy that intoxicates its people is, essentially, existentialism. Language means things, and I grow suspicious when definitions of words are changed either deliberately or not. Tragedy today means something occurring that causes such anguish that there can be no easy way to comfort. Every unexpected death is considered a ‘tragedy.’…

Why do some men exit the Matriarchy while others do not? Why do the men who exit the ‘Spell’ share similar personalities as well as having similar views on business, computers, and realism? Why is the Men’s Movement such a big tent yet so small? A single answer can be made to all three questions.…

It is said that there is more sex than ever before, or, at least, more than in recent times. Constant cries of outrage come from the latest news story about a principal making porn with school teachers or school kids doing hanky panky under the table.

“Why won’t you stop harping about the ‘be who you are’ stuff?” you ask. Because it is the most important lesson I ever learned.

Why waste valuable time sitting through TV commercials for mediocre coverage when you can find better information online? Some people think my passion in…

Nerd probably came from a term at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from the origin of Knurd (which is drunk spelled backwards). Unlike the drunk, the ‘knurd’ drinks heavily of knowledge and does practically everything opposite of the ‘drunk.’ But have you noticed how some things are considered ‘nerd’ while other things are not? And, even…

A council has decided that now we have twelve planets in the solar system instead of nine. By creating a category called “Pluton,” astronomers can include several smaller masses in which the first one is Pluto. The planets are, of course, a central part of the Mill. It was always to be believed that there were…

Let us open up the Great Books of Mankind once again to go a few steps lower into the underworld of antiquity. The Mayas had a One-Legged Being named ‘Hunrakan’ whose name, in Maya, means ‘one leg.’ Hunraken was a being who disposed of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning in vast amounts. The English word…
