Men in a “Stranger Danger” World
Imagine that you’re out watching your child play at a park. You see a man with a child walk over to the swings and start pushing the kid on the swings he came with. Your child sees this, and runs over and asks the man to push him on the swings, too. Decision time: do you...
Is the “End of Men” Exaggerated?
I recently read an extremely thought-provoking article by author Ken Solis on The Huffington Post that raised some interesting questions into this modern study of manliness and the current state of men. If you read articles on the subject by William Bennett, you are sure to have some level of depression. Ken Solis questions this depression commonly...

The Motley (makers of Buckler’s Chapped Skin Remedy) recently launched their “Men of Distinction” series which highlights young entrepreneurs who each work toward their own goals in various forms of men’s grooming or fashion. The Motley will reveal a video about a new person over the next month, and I eagerly await each release. For now, enjoy...
Bennett Strikes Again: Men as Jokes?
We recently covered William Bennett’s thoughts on modern manliness, and although I didn’t agree with a lot of what he said, I still consider it one of the more insightful articles on manliness in the mainstream media. Bennett recently wrote a similar article, also equally interesting, about men as the butt of jokes in modern...

The products are apparently vegan and “cruelty-free” (I guess that means not tested on animals?) and encased in post-consumer grade recycled plastic, all coming in a...
The Fear of Divorce?
A new article on the Huffington Post investigated the question of why young men tend to avoid marriage. The traditional explanation is that men fear the commitment to one person. However, Vicki Larson’s article suggests an alternative answer: Daryl Motte and Seth Conger have got a lot going for them. They’re young, attractive, smart, employed,...
Bennett and the Decline of Men
While I disagree with most of William Bennett’s political views, it is important for any well-rounded man (or person in general) to have the ability to take a level-headed approach when evaluating statements. Mr. Bennett was the Secretary of Education under George H. W. Bush, and he recently wrote an article about manliness. Some parts...
Mindy Kaling’s Thoughts on Men and Boys
Recently, comedy writer Mindy Kaling wrote a piece for Glamour magazine in which she talks about her experience/bad habit of dating boys rather than men. While the piece was written for mostly comedy, she makes some interesting differentials between the two: Until I was 30, I dated only boys. I’ll tell you why: Men scared...
