Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. -
Good article but no mention of all the sexual demands placed on Mormon men.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.Comment

This comment is on point:
Word of Wisdom. Many men do not connect or open up easily in social situations. Having a drink or two is traditionally how buddies loosen up and get chatty. Mormon men are some of the most friendless, lonely people I know. Also, male friendships are subtly frowned upon in the church. I’ve had multiple priesthood leaders suggest that once you are married, hanging out with buddies ends as its all about wife and kids now.We all trust our own unorthodoxies.Comment

None of that article resonated with me. It's tough being a Mormon male because we don't have table displays and crafty handouts at EQ? I think the woman that wrote this is severely out of touch with the male perspective.Originally posted by DrumNFeather View PostComment

Meh. Getting tired of whiny essays."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I would've liked for her to address the "men are wired for polygamy, but the government forces us into monogamy" issue (or lack thereof).Originally posted by jay santos View Post"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.

I sent it over to a buddy of mine and asked him if he now felt more compassion for me and my plight in this world as a Mormon male.Originally posted by jay santos View Post

Kate Kelly chimes in on the women and the priesthood essay. She comes off well in this interview and makes some valid points.
