Were you aware that all men are pedophiles, with the potential to abuse little girls at any moment? I sure as hell wasn’t.

A new study show that 40 percent of fathers suffering from post-natal depression have hit their one year old, while only 13 percent of healthy ...
As a stay-at-home-Dad who handles the majority of the household and child-rearing responsibilities I take note of any article, news report or radio rant that puts men and housework in the same sentence. And the message I’m hearing as I mop the floor, or the article I read while spooning the baby some mashed this-n-that, ...
Men used to rule television. The cowboy/detective would get the bad guy, saving the girl in the nick of time. The sitcom father would return from work and fix the hilarious mishaps that his kids (or wife) had caused, summing it all up with a few words of wisdom. Basically, men were in the business ...
