"Issue No. 7"
"Issue No. 7": "The only thing that upsets me about the world anymore is that there's no space for guys-only stuff, because it's considered sexist. We're not allowed to have our alone time, to be masculine. There's no brotherhood to it anymore. A guys night out is instantly oppressive and a short hunting trip where guys just sit around and talk about guy things without women around is automatically exclusive. It's frustrating when the world around you makes it wrong to be male, and you think it's the greatest thing that's ever happened to you. I don't mind the stereo types of men. They're always going to be there. I also don't mind and in fact support equality amongst the sexes, but there's a theory in this world that there's no room for a boy's only club... even though women have many things that they consider to be beyond a man's place. We don't have anything intersting or miraculous like child birth... and now we don't even have places where guys can just be guys and get away from the women for awhile."

You may or may not know that blogging is now effecting govenment! Analysts use techniques called agragtion (such as google or technaraty, blogs.com use) to analyse the views of the people.

After working hard to encurage others to own-up to being male and after "comeing out" and confessing to being one of the rare (straight) members the so called "stronger sex" myself I have had comments that adding the Manliness Logo (Male and Proud) that I posted was tricky. So I have produced this copy n paste code for you:

I am proud to me a man. and I am proud to carry this badge!

Male Pride - Issue #1
Today it is often seen as shamefull to be male. We live in a culture that worships the feminine achetype to the exclusion of all other culteral forms.
The agress militeristic male figure has given way to the "softer" subtler faminine figure. But is this really as good as it seems? It is a far more subjective, covert manor of operation working by co-operation and even decite at times. It is clear that the fminine achetype is less physical and more emotional but this does not make it any better.
As a culture we are guilty of abusing our children in new and twisted ways. Boys natural behaviour is repressed and shunned maleness is now a disadvantage. Is it then a co-incidence that the number of so called "gay" men has increased expinetially in the last ten years? The increase is somewhat connected to increased freedoms for the gay comunity this is true but the rate of increase is significantly greater than can be explained by these social changes alone.
By telling our children over and over that manliness is not a good quality are we not saying that they are biologacly incorrect? Are we perhaps pushing on our young men a sexuality that they would not have other wise have chosen?
And if so is this not sexual abuse on a national scale?
When a character conforming to the feminine achetype puts pressure on another it is the emotional pressure of guilt. An already guilty male will bend easily under such stress.
Many of us openly have apologised for being male.
It is time for us all to stop being sorry and start being men. Men are natural initiators, path beaters and inovators. The male brain is perfectly adapted to machanical reasoning and can picture acuratly multi-demnsional math with ease even to scheems of 5 or more dimentions.
This does not make men nessesarily better than women but it does make us significantly different. It is an abuse of a man's human rights to push him into becomeing a feminine achetype when we are biologacly and geneticly Masculine.
It is time for us to be real men and find out what it takes to be a man.
