I am a man – a poem
I am alone No one cares about me, but me I must do it on my own, I am a man You don’t get me, and never will There’s a pain inside that you will never know, I am a man I am by myself, alone without support If I don’t do it, no one will, I am a man I don’t need help, I don’t want help Can’t ask for help, I am a man Hiding from the world, living in shadow Don’t see me, I am a man If I wanted help, you wouldn’t give it Don’t know how to...
Confessions of a Porn Zombie
by Kevin Behan “Poooooooooorrrrrrn . . . . . Pooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnn ….. Porrrnnnnnnnn ….” . . . I grunted as my lifeless corpse limped closer to what it needed most. Shuffling, slow, and primal I fixed my gaze on the “food” glowing off my computer screen, . . . calling me . . .

Emotions
Emotions. Empowering men to achieve our own emotional literacy is at the core of our work in the ManKind Project. So it follows that anyone doing research into just exactly what emotions are is someone whose work we will probably want to check out. The video on the page below, Categorizing Emotions, does just that, lending a psychological perspective to emotions as they are perceived in a multicultural context. The MKP Journal is...
Opening Up Like a Man
by Matthew Alexander Sloane In a past relationship I got some feedback on the way I came across to my partner as a 30 year-old, powerless child. At the time, I thought I was being vulnerable and sharing openly about my feelings. She told me something I will never forget. “I have no problem with you telling me when you’re going through a hard time,” she said. “It’s just that you sound like a child when...
