About a week ago now, I suppose I accidentally let something slip about a friend that I guess I should not have done, and now all my friends are mad at me over it. What happened was, one of my friends (lets call her Orange) and I decided to play around on Tinder just to see what was out there and maybe even have a little fun with the app. I guess our other friend (lets call her Blue) was envious of the fun and decided to download the app. After only like an hour she had a whole bunch of messages from guys wanting to meet her, so after talking with all of them a little bit, she found one that she liked asked him to come over to her place.

The caveat here is that she also has a boyfriend (le

My walk away moment was only a few months ago, but all of the videos I have been watching are from more than a year ago, so I know I am a little late. Through watching these videos, I have seen that, for some, it was a singular moment of recognition and self reflection and for others it has been a moment that has taken years, sometimes decades, to peak. I also like how inspiring these stories are because they let people like me know that we are not alone.

So what is your story? If you would like mine, I am also more than happy to share :-)

So the last few days have really been super stressful for me and my release is picking at my beard hair. I am really trying to let that grow back in and I am trying to force myself to pick at other places, but I am too embarrassed to admit where. This switch off was working, but a few days ago, right as life became hectic for me, I had the misfortune of chipping both of my thumb nails and I had to trim them back to the nub (I think thats what its called). I have built up an immunity to hair-pulling pain, but my thumbs still hurt when I pick things up in general.

Any ideas what I can do until my nails grow back? With any luck your suggestions just may be something I can do to stop picking co

As some here may know, ever since I founded my sub, I have been on the lookout for legal, medical, and any other professional who advocates for men’s rights. I was lucky enough to stumble across this video while watching TED talks on YouTube.

While most of her points are made by the halfway mark of the video, I encourage you to watch the whole thing to the very end. It’s truly powerful and you will not regret it. Also by all means, share this video everywhere to let as many people as possible know that there are law firms that focus on men’s rights.

Hello everyone,

I am a grad student studying something called Systemic Functional Linguistics and in one of my courses I have come across something that I want to look further into. It started with a conversation about the word ‘disingenuous’ and what it’s opposite is. While the answer to this is an easy one for most of us, it started me down the path looking for other things like this.

The kinds of words I am looking for are called orphaned negatives- words that have an opposite that we no longer use today. An example of this would be monopsony which is the orphaned negative of monopoly. I asking for help looking for these orphaned negatives.

Hello Everyone in the Man-o-Sphere. With everything that is going on in the world right now, a friend of mine suggested that I write down my experiences with my so-called "male privilege" and submit it somewhere. I was just curious if anyone knew of any place that i could submit it where it wouldn't immediately get tossed in the garbage. I would even consider submitting it somewhere not MRA related as long as they at least consider it.
