A class taught this spring at Ohio State University will review a parade of reasons why white heterosexual masculinity is allegedly problematic, tackling the topic from the constructs of racial issues, bullying, pop culture, societal expectations and much more, according to its syllabus.
The course, "Be a Man! Masculinities, Race and Nation," includes a variety of readings to that end, including its required textbook "Dude, You're a Fag!" by C.J. Pascoe, which analyzes masculinity as not only a gendered process, but sexual one, its Amazon description states.
Other assigned reading excerpts include: "Masculinity as Homophobia" by Michael Kimmel; "Advertising and the Construction of Violent White Masculinity" by Jackson Katz; "Dude Sex: Dudes Who Have Sex with Dudes" by Jane Ward; "Looking for My Penis" by Richard Fung; "Sodomy in the New World" by Jonathan Goldberg; and "Teaching Men's Anal Pleasure" by Susan Stiritz.

That Martin Luther King Day is an annual circus of liberal hypocrisy is evidenced in the likes of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton using it an opportunity to engage in gushing tribute to a man whom, if alive today, would be among their most impassioned adversaries. As US academic Cornel West writes, "The litmus test for realizing King's dream was neither a black face in the White House nor a black presence on Wall Street. Rather, the fulfillment of his dream was for all poor and working people to live lives of decency and dignity."

The agreement on Wednesday means this will be the first time a joint Korean sports team has been put together in 27 years, since the 1991 World Table Tennis Championships and FIFA World Youth Championship, and the first ever in Olympics history.
"Athletes from both Koreas marched together at international sports events about nine times so far," South Korean Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Do Jong-whan said on Monday, as quoted by the Chosun Ilbo. "Peace on the Korean Peninsula through sports is a value that the Olympics are pursuing."

Comment: An important point made in Stanton Samenow's book, Inside the Criminal Mind is that all criminals of every type believe they are basically good people. This view of the self is essential in being able to commit crimes, including ones against humanity. This same belief obviously also exists in those who purposely choose criminals as their mates, both with regard to their own self image as well as toward their chosen partner. As Samenow notes, it is this belief that poses the greatest obstacle for change:
