Shacking Up: What it Really Means When a Man Considers Moving in With You
People like to hold up the relatively few differences in how men and women perceive the world as unassailable proof that the gulf between the sexes is so wide that men and women may as well be from different planets and accordingly fashioned in the image of opposing gods. The truth is we have way more in common than not. The common strand of humanity that binds us is much stronger than our differences. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way… holy fcuk, sometime women are so off base with how they assume men see the world I question if we evolved from the same ancestors. I’ve talked…

Without fail, every time I’m in a relationship that enters the sleepover without titles phase I wake up to the same sophistic paradox; a nonindigenous toothbrush belligerently positioned in my…

Black Democratic Voters Unchained, Republicans Unchanged: Politics as Usual
In the wake of a paradigm shifting election where evangelical Christians voted overwhelmingly for a devout Mormon, a black man was reelected as president in spite of a stalling economy and the long discussed demographic clout of the growing Hispanic population was finally felt, one voting bloc remained unchanged; black people still continued to vote overwhelmingly democratic. With Charles Krauthammer leading the charge, bringing the Hispanic vote into the republican fold has been agreed upon prescription for future Republican success (and understandably so), but with margins so thin in swing states, why no push to bring the naturally conservative black voter back into the party of Lincoln? Understanding why black…
