What Women Never Hear

Monday, December 10, 2012

  FITZGERALD writes: This post at What Women Never Hear is spot on, especially these first few paragraphs: [Men and women] differ in so many ways.

Toward a Counter-Culture

Sunday, November 4, 2012

  IN CONTINUATION of the discussion about refusing state marriage licenses, Jeremy Morris writes: America has been reduced to a culture filled with distractions, light shows that do nothing more than hold our attention just long enough to cause us to forget our duty to God almighty.

Advice for a Neglected Husband

Monday, August 1, 2011

  ADVICE COLUMNISTS are shills for the feminist-dominated psychotherapy industry. No matter what a reader’s problem is they invariably recommend professional therapy. Here is a columnist who tells a man who has sex with his wife as little as once every six months that he should get counseling for himself. This man is supposed to crawl in [...]

Lies about Premarital Sex in America

Monday, March 7, 2011

  THE latest big news regarding marriage is that premarital sex was always normal in America. That’s right. If you thought there was something called the sexual revolution, you were wrong.

More on Game

Sunday, February 27, 2011

   HERE ARE more interesting comments from readers regarding “Game,” which many readers say is a nihilistic, anti-Christian, hedonistic form of manipulation of women. There is no question that it often is. We are all agreed on that. However, one reader adds another impassioned defense of Game and advocates a Christian interpretation of it that rejects hedonism and recognizes the moral responsibility [...]

When Game Is About Love

Saturday, February 26, 2011

  YOUNGFOGEY writes: It seems to me that a portion of your readers have fallen into some common misconceptions about Game. First, as I wrote, at the core of Game is acting like a man. That means being aggressive, that means having a plan, that means pursuing what you desire, living with honor and, I [...]

Why Has This Wife Rebelled?

Thursday, February 24, 2011

  YOUNGFOGEY writes: What struck me most about your reader’s note in this entry was the admission that this guy’s wife holds him in contempt. My guess is that she doesn’t despise him because he wants children and she doesn’t. She probably despises him because he has been neutered by the culture, offers her very [...]

Lugging Children Through the Shallows of Banal Love

Wednesday, February 23, 2011

  TODAY’S journalists are so quick to provide every mind-numbingly boring detail about their chaotic personal lives and so upfront about how indifferent they are to their children. This writer, in his description of his recent “courtship” in The New York Times, talks about his two children from two different women as if they are luggage stowed in the backseat, which presumably is what [...]
