Man-hater? Let’s Get Serious.
I’m trying to make sense of the gender politics I have to navigate. But I seem to fall into joke bait. It’s not funny anymore. Let’s get serious about the Man.

Good Friends and Bad Books
So I finally finished ‘The secret dreamworld of a shop-a-holic‘. Oh, don’t run away! My taste in books hasn’t turned as sour as my taste in men (highly questionable according to one reliable source). Let’s start with how I come to be in possession of this disastrous book. Earlier this…

Manguide 2: Professionals
Once again I pull from my varied experiences with men for another chapter of the Manguide. What you do/study does as much influence you as where you call home.
