Or Maybe People Don't Know What Real Friendship Is
AmConMag: Porn, E-Mail, And Human Contact by Rod Dreher
Priorities. Where are people's priorities? Or do people find it easier to live in their head? For young people, they probably believe they prioritize friendship, but their friendship is based on feeling rather than virtue and a shared life of virtue.

Dreher should be asking himself how many real friends does he have within a 10-mile radius, as should we all.

Less Lecturing, More Leading by Example
Not sure what business a freelance journalist has lecturing men about masculinity -- of what community is he a part, and how has he modeled his own suggestions? Because he seems to be very naive about the existence of community in major population centers, and the power of the opposition.
How the West Can Save Masculinity by Paul Brian
