In the early days of the Manosphere, there were two driving concepts: female hypergamy and female solipsism. In the days of Chataeu Heartiste and R. Roger Devlin, these two concepts were said to be the main driving factors behind female behavior. At Dalrock’s blog, hypergamy was mentioned thousands of times …

Over the years I’ve read many comments and articles with the Manosphere that about the agency of men and women. Searching the archives, I found thousands of references to agency at Dalrock and Sigma Frame. Most of the debate centered around the binary question “Do women have agency?” Then I …

For me the number is basically negative. I’ve discouraged people from going to church, or at least from attending any of the churches that I was attending. My last three churches were UMC, Baptist, and a Non-Denominational Church. Here is a sampling of what I experienced: David and Jonathan were …

Since Free Northerner no longer blogs in the Manosphere, I like to repost his material from Twitter. Free Northerner describes the same things I’ve been talking about: the reliance on anecdotes to form one’s worldview and that the biggest threat to men is not divorce or bad marriages, but not …

This week we are discussing what is going on with modern dating, marriage, and divorce. In our last two posts (here and here) we discussed getting married at a young age (between the ages of 18 and 25). We pointed out that there was little practical benefit to delaying marriage …

Sometimes I feel as if I’m living in a parallel universe from others. I wrote this article months ago, but had not yet scheduled it for publication. Then, just yesterday, I read Bruce Charlton’s “Necessity does not obviate the requirement for repentance” and I once again got that weird feeling. …

The irony of complaining about men putting up firewalls and filters while placing your article behind the notorious NYT paywall. And, so too, the irony of the identical response: men opting out. H/T: Deep Strength
