Two balding brothers have made hair transplant history by undergoing the procedure at the same time. Barry and Brian Cowan, from Wishaw in North La...
Your relationship has ended. You suffer through all that comes along with a breakup--the tears, the eating your feelings. Then perhaps you've accepted a date invitation with that cute guy from the gym. And just like clockwork, as if they can smell the scent of you getting over them, your ex asks if you can meet for coffee.
Hyper-masculinity is damaging and destructive. It assumes that men are predisposed to violence; that men are nothing more than violent sexual predators incapable of self-control and empathy. The capitalist-patriarchy states that men are inherently violent and that nothing will ever change that.
Infidelity in long-term, monogamous relationships is often inevitable. Don't get me wrong, for some people monogamy works, it's natural, it's fine. Good for them. But for an awful lot of people it's a Herculean task, a constant struggle with the self, a battle against all bodily instincts.
As time goes by, masculinity continues to be defined by the rituals of the past, and as the concept of a 'refined man' becomes ever more popular, it is safe to say that the 'gentleman' is back and here to stay. From pocket scarves to polished brogues, new has never looked so old - and so damn good.
I had done four comedy gigs out there, and I was nervous about how the American audience would take me. Again, a fabulous surprise! No chauvinism or sexism. No drunken heckles or slurring jibes. Just laughter and smiles and the joy of being told that I sound so elegant even when I say the words "Massive D**K and "Garlic flavoured sperm"
I feel duty bound to highlight that it isn't just women who are expected to subject themselves to bizarre and often dangerous practices in order to look good on the pages of magazines.
Let's talk about lads. Specifically, lad culture. Call it what you like, dismiss it as a joke, but it doesn't hide the fact that it's just plain misogyny and sexism, with stereotypical, age-old notions of masculinity at the core.
The problem seems to be that of stereotyping. The stereotyped image - not helped by sites like UniLAD - of a male university student is of a hard drinking, banter mad, sexist frat boy. The stereotype of sports' team members was even worse
Stories about men as toxic, as bad boys, are so much part of the cultural lexicon, that when I lecture, audiences are sometimes perplexed by the idea of providing specific services for vulnerable men. This is despite explaining that thousands of men commit suicide every year in the UK, 4552 in 2011, three times the rate of women.
At a time when the 'Keep Calm And Rape' T-shirts (recently available on Amazon) has brought gender-based violence to the forefront of many minds, anot...
It's not been a great few weeks to be a woman. Against the backdrop of recent allegations of sexual misconduct in politics and a thoroughly sexist Oscars ceremony, Twitter was all a flutter over the past weekend as it discovered t-shirts being sold through Amazon with the slogan 'Keep Calm and Rape Her'.
Shocking breaking news on Valentine's Day, ladies. (For any gents reading, we'd recommend looking away now). The average size of a man's penis is s...
The number one thing the woman in your life wants is more time. Time to indulge in her pre-family fantasies of cocktail parties and weekends in New York. Possibly. Actually, a day out with an old friend or time to catch up on Downton Abbey would go a long way.
The problem, as I see it, is that if we stick with the feminine and masculine principles as cultural rather than something housed within each individual, how can men ever meet us in the domestic sphere so that we 'parent' our children together?
Consuming just two cups of coffee per day could have an negative impact on men's bladder control, American researchers have found. A study by the...
Many British men are secretly wearing make-up to hide their imperfections, a survey has revealed. According to the findings, 1 in 10 men have turne...
I never gave much thought to sexism while growing up. After all, it was the 1990s and then the twenty-first century. But I have begun to notice sexism around me - not overt discrimination as such, more a tone in which women are spoken about, or just a person's awareness of someone's woman-ness.
However much you dress it up in ideas of gentility and kindness (and a wimple), at the core of the concept is still the idea that women are weaker, and that we need men to lend us that helping hand.
Okay guys, are you ready for the top 10 body parts that you like about woman? Of course you are! The following list isn't our interpretation of what we think other men may like; but in fact, the post was compiled using an online poll where over 500 of you voted.
Men with cold blue eyes and thin faces should perhaps avoid a career selling used cars or life insurance. New research suggests such features are v...
Unfortunately the question appears now to not only be "are you a feminist?" but more "are you a feminist like me?" But, I ask, do the minor details really matter that much? When asking on Twitter "what does feminism mean to you?" every single reply I received was unique.
I hope with explicitly describing what a binge episode is, I have managed to explain how Binge Eating Disorder might look like for most people, yet not all of them.
The festive seasons presents many an awkward sartorial scenario, no more so than when it comes to dressing for the much-hyped (READ: dreaded) Christmas party.
Find me a UK citizen who wouldn't like to see the government's main men strutting about Westminster fashioning rather excellent moustaches, and I'll find you a badger who'd like to be culled.
