Anti-gay bias has flared up in Hollywood and pro basketball recently, and soon the topic will be thrust dramatically into a new forum &#151; a reshaped Congress likely to pass the first major federal gay-rights bills.

&quot;You bums and ingrates! You disgraced your sport and country! Matador defense and half-hearted effort? At the Olympics? The Commies cheated us in &#39;72, and our college kids weren&#39;t good enough in &#39;88, but this is unacceptable. So carry your sorry fannies ...

This article is not about what George Carlin called the pussification of the (American) male. This article is not about ever-lowering testosterone levels in men. This article is not about over-diagnosing of ADHD in adolescent males, the over-use of Ritalin to emasculate young men, not about the game of tag being banned on schoolyards in fear of liability or how TV, ads and movies lack positive, realistic male role models. And most importantly, this article is not about equality of the sexes. This article is about how you can take charge of your own life. How you should take charge as the red-blooded, testosterone-filled, muscle-bound aggressive man you are. Now, don't get me wrong: there is still hope for you even if you are a girly-man who has words such as "sensitive" or "communication" in your everyday vocabulary, even if you are a pencil-neck who can't bench-press your own bodyweight or if you are a timid fuck who'd rather take Jill out to watch the latest chickflick than open her eyes and orifices to the wonderful world of anal sex. This article is for all of us and will guide you to a better life.

For a lot of people, sports is all about ego. It's fine to get into the pursuit of excellence. I don't think that in itself is pathological. But we go overboard and lose sight of everything else, and that pursuit of excellence becomes obsessive-compulsive. When your self-confidence is entirely...

Amazing, but even in this time of goodwill and cheer, some folks are always looking for a fight. A recent exchange with a regular reader got me thinking how divisive things can get.

Much as it pains me, I cannot vote against Sports Illustrated&#39;s pick of the Boston Red Sox as Sportsmen of the Year. Similarly, I cannot say that in any other year since 1918 Michael Phelps, or perhaps Lance Armstrong, was not a worthy choice.

I'm a contrarian. It's natural. It's what happens when you're born black and male in New Orleans. You grow up questioning authority and challenging conventional wisdom. It's both a mode of survival and a disease. I have it bad. I'm addicted to argument.
