Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.”  - Carl Bernstein

MAX-LOGIC

In the ongoing battle of the sexes, there is one area where women (mistakenly) believe we have men beat – feelings. We have more of them and we are champions at talking about them and letting them dictate our every action. Score one for Team Woman. Read More

Ladies, in yesterday’s post, Men Have Feelings? I shared a story about a man whose unvoiced yet exceedingly obvious feelings were dismissed by his fiancée.
