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 …
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 …
This is part of a series on Roman Catholicism. See this index. In my series on the Eucharist, I discussed a few Roman Catholic apologists: FishEaters, Church Fathers, and Joshua Charles. One of the issues I highlighted was what is known as “quote mining,” where a quote is taken out-of-context or …
Interlude This series is, in part, a response to FishEaters, who was raised up as a credible expert on the Roman Catholic Eucharist: I had, for a while, wanted to respond to FishEaters’ “The Eucharist,” but we needed to set up the ground work of this series before we could attempt …
Hippolytus of Rome FishEaters does not mention Hippolytus and this is not surprising. Hippolytus was a disciple of Irenaeus, whom we covered in Part 6.

In “It’s a Military Term,” I had noted that the word translated “helper” in Genesis 2:18 is used in the Old Testament as a military term that refers to that of an ally, rather than that of a subordinate, with no connotation of an implied difference in power or authority. …
My blog has been silent recently in large part because I’ve been working on a new project: The Androsphere Archive. I registered that domain years ago after Sigma Frame had a discussion about Manosphere sites going offline. I made it with the intention of unifying sites, especially sites that have …
For some time now I’ve been reading the work of James Attebury on his blog on Christian theology and apologetics. I’ve referenced his work once before in “Luke 23:43 and Sheol.” His posts have a distinctively academic tone, with plenty of citations. In some ways, it is a lot like Anabaptist …
This is part of a series on patriarchy, headship, and submission. See this index. NOTE: This is a partial repost of the thread of comments I made at the Deepstrength blog in 2019. I am reposting it here, with additional modifications and expansions. Many view what I do as an …
