Charles Anthony — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:45:44 +0000

Jade Nicole — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:56:37 +0000

In my youth, I can remember hearing the phrase, “I’m the mother AND the father.” Impregnated yourself, huh? And exactly HOW does that work? While I can understand the thought process behind this statement, it is ultimately incorrect, as a woman CANNOT do a man’s job in parenting. Mothers and fathers think differently and approach circumstances [...]

Eric Rogell — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 18:30:30 +0000

This Father’s Day, dad doesn’t want a fancy cocktail created by some ironically mustachioed mixologist wearing armbands and smelling of patchouli oil. He wants a man’s drink.
