It’s a woman problem
When considering the matter of relational aggression, we need to look at the socialization of young girls — by their mothers. Uh oh! Diana Davison, and reality, on the loose again!

Why do we fall in love? Our analysis of the issues surrounding Men Going Their Own Way continues with Peter Wright’s overview into the nature of attachment and why humans are so fond of each other. The science about attachment that he reveals may surprise you and this historical context of just why we believe what we believe about men’s sexuality will definitely enlighten.
A Man Going His Own Way, Peter Wright has been in the men’s movement for over 20 years. More than just a political movement, the men’s movent is about men discovering the value of self-determination and individualism: celebrating it and encouraging it to change the cultural zeitgeist. And Peter’s got a bone to pick with certain attitudes that have emerged within the movement.
It’s a common cultural stereotype to say that men are “good for nothing.” But after all the things men have given to civilization, and looking around at the current cultural zeitgeist, Jason Gregory dares to flip the question around.

Slutwalks are regular events these days, especially in college towns. They’re supposed to teach us that raping women is bad. Which is very helpful, since we had no idea that was a bad thing. Dan Perrins attended one such educational event lately, and reports how much he learned. Rape is bad. Rape hysteria is good. Even if it kills!
Lucian Vâlsan is a bad, bad man, and we are ashamed to know him. This time, the shameful awful Vâlsan is picking on poor innocent delicate Swedish girls, and siding with the horrible bullies who dare criticize them. Bad Lucian! Naughty Lucian! Nobody should read this article! Trigger warning: delicate ladies may need a fainting couch!
Scholar and Man Going His Own Way Peter Wright has a look at people’s ideas about love and marriage throughout history, and concludes that much of what we today call “romance” is a historical aberration starting in the middle ages with the concept of courtly love and the image of white knights on bended knee, begging for a token from their Lady.
Kaitlyn Hunt is persecuted. Persecuted by a misogynist, homophobic society that wants to bring the hammer down on her for statutory rape. After all how could a pretty little blond be a sexual predator? Slip this one in the “it only matters when it happens to women” file.
Man up, and other male targeting slogans remain pervasive throughout our culture and indeed appar to be spreading. Neil Westlake notes this, and correctly observes that it constitutes an anti male, violent and stifling climate pretending to humanism, while calculated to perpetuate harm.
Karen Straughan, aka Girl Writes What was asked to deliver an address to the New York State Libertarian Convention. She delivered indeed. This overview of gender and modern politics is one of the most complete and exceptional works ever offered to the literature of the MHRM.
