Is that why when men are ill, women say, "It's just man flu?" "He's a wimp." "Man up." "Only you get to decide the type of person you want to be." - seems like they are trying to decide. Let's flip it. We don't want to reject feminine ideals. We just want to redefine what it means, rather...

Just to update that it has been 13 days since I started this new protocol and I have lost 5.5lbs. Feeling pleased! Here is my progress chart: LoseIt! has helped me identify areas where I can make diet improvements, cutting calories even more. So I am hoping that the coming week will see some...

Well done Bee. Good to have you join the self-improvement waggon. Hop on or get left behind. It is a (small) chore keeping LoseIt! updated. It is also a chore going into hospital. It is a chore feeling ill. It is a chore carrying excess weight all day every day. I wish I didn't have to enter...

End of week report I've had another good week. The LoseIt! app has been fantastic. The premium edition was definitely worth the £23 ($30). It is giving me multiple insights into all sorts of things. Just YouTube IT for a review, if curious. So, in the last week, I lost 1.3lbs. I am now 13st...

Doc, I didn't really understand what you meant by this paragraph:

Vested interests... Nice quotes. Don't forget Venezuela. It's completely gone to pot since Socialism infected the nation. The way I see it is that the more benefits you give people in need, the more those not in need start seeking the benefits. Then you get a growing welfare system that...

65%, yes my bad. Although I consider the extra 10% insurance. The term "feminism" has become toxic due to the machinations of noisy third-wave feminism. The women who don't consider themselves a feminist may agree with the principles of equality, but what the term now means has moved away from...

Communism is a compromise. Everybody gets the same. Look what happened there.

Those are very good points Doc and I liked that post. In many atheism vs religion debates, religion is argued as the foundation of morality. I have a few issues with that statement, surprisingly! Consider apostacy, the death penalty for leaving a certain religion. Is it "needed" to kill...

I've got an idea! To avoid all accusations of sexism, gender divides, arguments on who takes out the trash and so on...why don't we just merge both sexes, so that there is no longer man and woman, but ManWoman. You can self-replicate, have all the necessary parts of both sexes and enjoy equal...

Having watched a lot of US politics over the last 2 or 3 years, something that strikes me is how intelligent people can have such polar opposite views. The divisive debate between Left and Right, Male and Female, Rich and Poor...it just goes on and on and on. How do you bridge the gap between...

What are the true motives of mankind? Are we all striving for happiness, or are we running around confused and dazed by our own existence? What do you believe motivates us? I am talking about our very existence and desire to live.

There is one thing I have noticed recently in many Hollywood movies: the woman approaching the man, grabbing him and kissing him. Is this not a case of sexual assault as she did not have prior written consent? Does Hollywood legitimise sexual assault, but only for one sex? [Personally, I am...

Is it no longer allowed for a man to look at a woman he fancies? There seems to be talk about men looking at women as a bad trait of men. What effect will this have on the birth rate? Are Social Justice Warriors leading us into extinction?

To broaden my knowledge, I decided to read a book on ethics. There was a particular series of books which had lots of pictures in them and that appealed to me! However, after finishing the book, I felt as though I learned nothing. It seemed that ethics is just dependent on your view. Did I...

I have a new life hack. When packing my gym bag, I used to put my clothes and stuff in there pretty much randomly. Now, I am putting stuff in there that factors in the order in which I will take them out. So, jeans in first, then t-shirt on top of that. Next go socks and underpants. It makes it...

We all have views (even if different!). We all get riled. We all come back together again after emotions have calmed. We know Round 2 is coming soon!

There seems to be so much division in the world: wars between the sexes, races, tribes, political parties and so on. Yet the Dalai Lama said that when you meet someone else, you are more similar to them than different. You are both human and have similar needs. The struggles of human existence...

I got it from here. Top choice in Google. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/only-7-per-cent-of-britons-consider-themselves-feminists/ Looked at others and The Independent says 35% of women consider themselves to be feminist...

I completely understand what you are saying here. So, I have a question for you. If feminism is about empowering women but not at the expense of men, why do only 7% of women consider themselves a feminist? Is it because they want more than equality, or because they don't believe feminism is...
