Back on June 5, I published the first in a nine part series on mutual submission that I had begun drafting on May 31: I started the series for two reasons. First, I was responding to this comment by info (May 29) which I happened to notice and commented on under “Everyone’s a Genius.” …

Sometimes a review of history is useful to shed light on—and provide context for—what followed in more recent times. Frequent readers here will be familiar with that to which I refer. Those who are not may still benefit from this look back into the past. On February 19, 2019, I …

In “Vectors of Conflict,” Jack says this: I’m not an historian of the Manosphere. I apparently arrived on the scene somewhere in the middle, and didn’t really dip my toe in all that much for a while. I mostly just read the articles. And even those were a tiny selection …

In my last post, “Deti on Personal Hypocrisy,” I responded to the claim that withholding private information is antithetical to opposing pseudonymity. In that post I repeated the following claims, which I have long held: I have been careful to note that not all anonymity or privacy is wrong: For …

Or, why censorship is harmful   This is a follow-up to my last post, “Sectarianism,” where I first discussed the censorship that I reference below. As is my common practice when a comment of mine is censored and/or deleted, I respond here. It’s always a bit of extra special irony …

This is a quick review of “Sectarianism.” To the extent that I’m a remnant or branch of the manosphere—a questionable proposition—my disagreement is based solely on the ideas it presents and nothing else. I am not influenced by the government or society. They do not threaten me nor dictate what …

Consider this non-Christian’s claim (with almost a million views): Had this one taken about 15 seconds to Google check his own claim, he might have found the “Five Suns” creation myth of the Aztecs: Bloodthirsty? Brutal? It turns out that …

I’ve casually followed Michael Foster for some time on Twitter. Some of you may know of him from the “It’s Good To Be A Man” blog, which is shared with Dominic Bnonn Tennant. Readers here might have read a critical piece on the pair (from 2019) called “Bnonnas Foster: A …

There is a great—and revealing—discussion of patriarchy happening over at Sigma Frame. Let’s take a short break from the ongoing series on justification to discuss it. Over the last few months, I pointed out—time and time and again—that Christian patriarchy, by excusing male responsibility, doesn’t respect a man’s authority within his domain. If a man …

The series on faith is a collection of separated, but related, essays. Here is the index: Prelude #1: The Eucharist Prelude #2: The Living Voice Prelude #3: Changing Language Part 1: The Primacy of Love Part 2: What is Faith? What are works? Part 3: Faith and Works (Belief/Obedience; Unbelief/Disobedience) …
