They are the common, everyday guy, and they just need a place where they can relate to other men, what I’ve always… Read more »

These days men are just judged wicked which creates an environment where anyone claiming to be “The One Good Man” or pushing a product guranteeing to make men better for the sake of women can get their moment in the sun. Men have been judged for a long time the only difference now is more effort is put into silencing the ones that don’t agree. There are already a… Read more »
