Maybe I'm a bit nostalgic because I was only a little boy then, but it seems to me that the 70s were a time when manhood was a true societal virtue and it didn't seem so challenged by hyper-feminism,…Continue

Mark Nelson replied to M. Gray's discussion Prostate Cancer Screening -- Necessary or Unnecessary?"My father's screening caught his very aggressive prostate cancer before it could kill him. Even though he had it removed, he still has a 50% chance of having it reoccur. It's worth the test."

Native Son replied to M. Gray's discussion The 70s"The 1970s were a mixed bag. But definitely not a better time to be a man than now. We "enjoyed" stagflation, poor job prospects for college graduates, a doubling of fuel prices, fuel shortages, mortgage rates at the same level as crdit…"
