Should paternity tests be mandatory at birth?

Every newborn in the United States is pricked on the heel at birth to test for Phenylketonuria. Do you even know what Phenylketonuria is? Probably not because, although it’s a serious condition causing albinism and mental retardation, it only affects 1 in 15,000 American babies. Now guess how many people cheat on their spouse. One...

Do people say women have "character"?

After my Men’s Rights debacle heretofore known as Toilet Watergate I received a lot of messages. Most of it was hate mail, some of it in the form of packages delivered to my home that I was afraid might actually be a bomb if it weren’t for the mail man still having all his limbs... Read more »

It took me a year to figure out I was "roofied"

Advice columnist Dear Prudence gave some shaky advice to an alleged rape victim’s friend who is conflicted about the victim changing her story of a drunken encounter. Originally the alleged victim said she had a regrettable one-night-stand then later flip-flopped to rape accusation mode after talking to a crisis line. Dear Prudence and most of... Read more »

Gender-neutral kids are bait for bullies, but have awesome names

Five years after the birth of her child, a self-proclaimed radical feminist in the U.K. has revealed the gender of her child. Sasha, it turns out, is a boy. Cigars all around! But for the last five years and for the foreseeable future, this family is committed to erasing “overtly masculine” elements from their son’s... Read more »

Ridiculous: Chicago dad facing child abuse charges

As you may have heard, a local Chicago dad, Andre Curry, was playing with his daughter and posted a picture to Facebook of her bound and gagged with duct tape.

Little liars: Teaching kids honesty

There’s no discussion a little whiskey can’t take to the next level. Last night at the Chicago Now holiday party at Justin’s on Southport, I sat down with blogger Kirk Mango, who is a veteran high school sports coach and author of Becoming A True Champion: Achieving Excellence From The Inside Out. Kirk is the... Read more »

Silly Cosmo, muzzles are not for people - UPDATED

image.attributes.post_excerpt
Earlier today we imagined TLC’s Sister Wives flipped around to the male equivalent, “Brother Husbands” with uproarious results*. Now let’s examine the November issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine with the cover teaser “Sh*t My Guy Says – Where’s a muzzle when you need one?” Really, Cosmo? A muzzle? This kind of cavalier dehumanization of men is... Read more »

What's a mangina?

Dick. Prick. Boob. The p-word. Have you ever noticed the highest way to insult a person is to call them by sexual organs? Some guy cuts another one off in traffic: dick. A guy says something offensive: prick. Someone makes a social blunder: boob. It’s just part of our culture that the lowest thing you could possibly be... Read more »

Apology to Men's Rights Activists - UPDATED WITH POLICY

About a month ago I wrote a post on this blog about the bathroom procedure at my daughter’s preschool and my preference for her to be taken to the toilet by women, not the male volunteers in the classroom. I sited a now-disputed statistic (Abel and Harlow Child Molestation Prevention Study 2001, revised 2002) that... Read more »
