There’s gunshots everywhere and kids in their school uniforms running for their lives. The teargas scrapes my throat and I could swear my eyes bled. I struggle to see through smoke to catch a glimpse of the moving mouth of a dying Hector Peterson as he lay on the street taking his last breath. His...

The Struggling Feminist Man
And so we find ourselves in a time, as in all of recent time, where we are at war with each other and ourselves. No generation before us has known such division amongst people. It seems, like in most relationships, life was better before we met, before Columbus met the Native Americans and the commencement...

Leading The Way …
Contrary to popular belief, leadership and power are not synonymous. There are many individuals with influence and power that are not particularly leaders.

Swallow My Pride

Ask Marvin …
Anonymous … So I am absolutely thrilled that Marvin is finally here. I would like to put up a topic for discussion in the realm of redefining manhood. I started writing it, but I am a bit wary of betraying the trust of someone I know that went through this by writing about his situation....

Eintlek, What Do You Want?
Eintlek, eintlek what do you want? At this very moment, what do you want? Ok, maybe you hungry, or you wish your next meeting would just not happen. Maybe you just want to go pee. Well, don’t hold it in, otherwise, you’ll need pampers when you hit 60. But, besides that stuff, what is it...
