		<description><![CDATA[by S. T. Karnick The tendency of the nation’s schools to suppress boys’ natural way of seeing and doing things, brilliantly documented by Christina Hoff-Sommers in her 2001 book The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men, is becoming increasingly evident in the culture. According to Hoff-Sommers, programs in America’s public [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An excellent post from Athol Kay. You are correct that monogamy isn&#8217;t natural and that men and women are biologically wired to have a primary partner and opportunistic sex with others. However much of our modern society isn&#8217;t natural. Democracy isn&#8217;t natural, nor is capitalism, or education, the rule of law, hospitals, flushing toilets and [...]]]></description>
