“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

The phalanx

laidnyc wrote a very interesting post recently about his thoughts regarding an impending usurpation of the ‘Sphere by those who seek to hijack our mad little corner of the world: In ancient times, walled cities were built to protect against invading tribes. As...

The lessons of the Didache

Someone- let’s call him A. Reader for now- emailed me with some reading material a little while back and asked for my opinion on it: I have been meaning to contact you for some time to ask if you’ve ever read an early Christian work called The Didache. I...

The futility of higher education

One of the more painful consequences of imbibing regular doses of Cold Hard Truth is that you find yourself actively questioning everything you were taught when growing up by those you love the most. As you get older and (hopefully) wiser, and as you continue down...

The Belldandy effect

Recently the exasperated rantings of a woman with an absurdly large nose over the seemingly ridiculous expectations that men have of their ideal woman got me thinking about something I wrote a while back regarding what it means to be a truly beautiful woman. The...

The “perfect” girlfriend?

A (female) writer for the Daily Telegraph (with a ridiculously oversized nose- you might want to look into that, dear) gets unduly exercised over the results of a survey of some 2,000 men to define the “perfect” girlfriend: It wasn’t even my boyfriend who...

Meetups

So it turned out that Matt Forney was going to be in town for a few days as a stop on his way down to what is already being referred to as the Mardi Gras Meetup of Mass Destruction. He sent out an invitation to all and sundry to have a beer with him, and oddly, I was...

Attitude

One of the first lessons that a novice learns when encountering the Manosphere is the concept of “masculine frame”. It is not a difficult idea to understand, at least in theory- you stand, walk, and talk with confidence and strength, you give off an air of...
