Part of the gloom and doom that exists in the Men’s Movement is a wild misunderstanding of politics. But this is not unique. Most (failed) movements end up with one conclusion: “The end days are upon us!” Most of my formal training was in this field. And, let me tell you, I was very incorrect…

Why Rome Fell
Every interest group proclaims Rome fell because their cause was ignored. Environmentalists blame the fall of Rome on lead pipes or other hazards. Religious people blame the fall of Rome on social decay. Gays blame the fall of Rome on not embracing the fictional Greek gay life-style. Classicalists blame the fall of Rome on the…
You are not a god
Aristotle said that man is a social animal. (In other words, man creates families, cities, concerts and other fabulous things.) But what if one becomes extremely individualized? By individualization, I mean cutting off one’s family, mocking Nature, and marching to the drums of rhetoric from quacks. Aristotle answered that such highly individualized beings are either…

Attention all you mediocre males (for I will not call you MEN). You like to spew all sorts of speeches, essays, and words over anyone that will hear you. You smoke your words in a pretty pipe to null yourself to girlish comfort and gooishness. You, who say, life is to be survived not to…
The Animated Life
Have you noticed that some people are more ‘animated’ than others? Most people live as if their flesh is a cage. There is nothing electric coming from them. They hold no charisma. They are…dull. Here is a revealing experiment. Take people and make them do a speech. Now, many people despise public speaking. They fear…

On the Cause and Origins of Political Perversion
In museums, one can see the remains of barbarian type people. These ancient barbarians believed that the Human Form can be molded by Human tools consisting of rings, hooks, and cords. One said: “This child will never smell the perfume of a peace-pipe unless I stretch his nostrils.” Another said: “He will never be able…

The Rejection of Existentialism
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.’…
Do Not Worship Women
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.…
