A Mans Way Home

A Response to the Quartz Article “The biggest myth about our brains is that they are “male” or “female” I just stumbled across this article written some time ago (2017) the proposition that the writer Lila MacLellan is advocating for the is removal of the terms “male” and “female” brains. She begins by stating the work of Daphna Joel from Tel Aviv University. Her research shows that the brain when required can change the structure of neurons from a female state toa male state. So great start begin by admitting that there are two types of neurons present one type primarily in males and the other primarily in females. She then goes on to state that in circumstances of stress; I.e. survival, the brain can change these neurons to the other pattern if required. So there are two types of neurons one male and female and in extreme circumstances they can be changed. Not really disproving your claim is it? After a brief detour to criticize James Damore of Ex-Google Memo fame. She gets back on...

Let’s imagine the lives of two very different men. The first was born to a single mother. As a boy he grows up without knowing who his father is except the little his mother tells him. He struggles with the effects of poverty, second hand clothes from the charity shops, the unhealthiest microwave meals, and a mother who I barely home as she works two jobs to support them both.

Through the implementation of philosophies generated in the echo chambers of minds that innately fail to see more than one perspective. Their goal? Equality. Liberation. Revolution. Order. Protection. Patriotism. Words formed through the evolution of language in to perfect ideals, that operate more like paroxysms of thought spewed forth from the gestalt. Perceived as ideals to attain and enforced on a world that resists. Universal truth... Fake news. Liberté, égalité, fraternité of old white men or stupidity. Independence from responsibility and thought. A sea change from temperance to extreme weather conditions. Love for you fellow man belied by the hatred for his works. Freedom of expression, thought and action, but only for those who think act and express themselves like you. Why do I worry? Why would I not? I still have the hope that many more years of experience will come my way. Yet that experience may not be w...
