Hooking Up Deprives Women of Marriage?
College hookup culture?

That’s what what a young man told me a few weeks ago. Read the rest of this entry

Love Hurts Others
Love hurts
We all know that lost love and unrequited love hurts. But as a headline from Live Science points out, “Love Hurts (Other People)” too.
Florida State researchers surveyed 130 hetero students in long-term relationships on their levels of jealousy (e.g., “How likely are you to surprise-visit your partner to see who is with him/her?”). Read the rest of this entry

Are Women The Weaker Sex?
The weaker sex?
Are women physically inferior to men?

Men Commit Suicide Because of Feminism?
Men’s Rights Activists (MRAs) often blame feminists for men’s problems.
Apparently, women are now the advantaged gender. And it’s our fault that they’re committing suicide at a higher rate than we do.

Mocked because my name ends in “SHE”
“He” is better than “she”?
By Mahi Chitti
I grew up being mocked by both my peers and my elders because my name ends in “SHE.”

Women Must Be Fit; Men Can Be Flabby
Can men be valued even if their bodies appear flabby and “gross”? What about women? Can they be? Maybe. But men may have more leeway.
