Paint the school doors and buses pink
A Voice for Men welcomes another new contributor, Davd, with this indictment of the treatment of boys in our public school system. Welcome. Davd.
Profiting from Pain
Even in the MRM the subject of circumcision is not often approached. JtO walks the road less traveled with this cutting edge, disturbing look at the money behind the knife work and who it is going to.
When sexual predators are a bonus
I discovered after moving in that in fact she had left her husband and 3 children to live with and continue a sexual relationship with her foster son. I discovered this from the boy, not the woman.
