The Battle for Macedonia
The Popularity of Male Asian Idols
Even if they are rather effeminate -- RS McCain:
As for why adolescent women give a pass or are even interested in displays of affection (quasi-homoerotic behavior) between members of the say boy band? Or are interested in shoujo anime featuring romance between males? A projection of intense female affectivity onto male friendships? Or a projection of the same sort of sexual "flexibility" that immature women have?
What does one say about a 40-year-old divorcee's proclaimed crush on Justin Bieber to her class? Creepy?
As to why so many teenage girls prefer pouty “sensitive”-looking boys, psychologists long ago explained this as a manifestation of sexual immaturity. Conventionally masculine adult males are too intimidating for the adolescent female to imagine them as romantic partners. The implications of her own role in a relationship with such an imposing figure — what it would mean to be a man’s partner — understandably frighten the girl; it is more comfortable to focus her affection on a somewhat effeminate boy/man. Indeed, from the perspective of developmental psychology, it might be considered inappropriate if a 13- or 14-year-old girl chose an overtly “macho” romantic idol. However, it is even more inappropriate to expect adult men to conform their behavior so as to appeal to the immature emotional needs of adolescent girls, and yet Ms. Gibson sees no problem in demanding that men emulate “excellent examples of masculinity” like a make-believe pirate from a Disney movie or an elf-prince from Middle Earth.

Commute traffic seems to be getting worse and worse. Getting tired of the Silicon Valley, "blue" California, and Mainlanders.
California is too far gone to be any major reaction in the large population centers, though they may depopulate for other reasons. I wouldn't miss those (D) voters. Europe Belongs to Us

Something that socons (and "conservative" Catholics) fail to realize? In Search of Civil Discourse by Erika Bachiochi, linking to Randall Smith (part 1 and 2)
Some Aristotelian realism about people is warranted, rather than tired presuppositions of liberalism.

Stand by Your Manhood
by Peter Lloyd
Review and interview.
The author sounds like an egalitarian or MRA kind of guy?
The denigration of men: Ridiculed, abused, exploited - the triumph of feminism has made today's men second class citizens, argues a deliciously provocative new book. And it's time the chaps fought back!
