The Pill and Feminism

May 12, 2010

Guys and gals, I consider myself a feminist. I declare this with a bit of reluctance, because I have read so many grouchy, man-hating feminists; but I cannot deny it. I believe in equality of the sexes. I believe that women can (and should) be teachers, prophets, scholars, preachers, engineers, police officers, doctors, CEO’s, and [...]

Thoughts on Birth Control and Monogamy

April 30, 2010

So, I’ve written a couple of posts on the Pill and why I’m no longer a fan.

The Weeks Ahead for Project M

December 22, 2009

I think I’m going to take just a teensy-weensy break from blogging. Just, like, a week or two. Two reasons: First the obvious one. It’s Christmastime. I don’t think people are reading blogs that much right now. They’re too busy banqueting and cleaning their houses and stuff. So I’m gonna wait to post any of [...]

My Thoughts on Natural Family Planning

December 16, 2009

Hey guys, Remember Dustin, the really smart and classy guy from Engaged Marriage who answered ALL my questions about natural family planning last week? Well, he kindly asked me to offer some of my own thoughts and reflections on NFP, as a response to the Q&A we put together. I enthusiastically agreed, because I now [...]
