AMAAWWODWM revisited

Ten years ago, I posted the following blurb as my Friendster profile. It's amazing how times change. Friendster got obliterated by Facebook years ago. But my sentiments about masculinity haven't changed. I'm still very much committed to helping my Asian American brethren to fight the good fight.

· Common perceptions of the typical Asian Male: Physically weak, slight in stature and build, emotionally distant, subdued, nerdy, academically obsessed, professionally overboard, socially inept, without sex drive, and unassertive. Many weak-willed Asian Women have bought into these lies and have sought refuge in the steroid-injected arms of White Men. But help is near. . . across the urban ethnic enclaves of America, a new grass-roots movement is on the rise - Asian Men Against Asian Women Who Only Date White Men (AMAAWWODWM, pronounced ah-mah-wad-wum).
AMAAWWODWM is dedicated to the liberation of Asian Women everywhere from the lies and oppression of despicable White Men. We accomplish our goals through the betterment of the Asian male- unilateral solidarity, synergistic activism, mass propaganda, and weight lifting. Join the movement! Fight the stereotypes! Rescue the Asian Beauty!

· Who I Want to Meet:
Mobilize today! We are looking for Asian Men with the

A Dad's Review of Passport 2 Purity

[3,100 words, 11 minute read] The sex talk is one of the most dreaded conversations parents anticipate having with their children. To make things easier, an entire industry exists to help parents with sex education. Dozens of books have been written to help parents navigate this treacherous topic with their progeny. One of the best known among evangelicals is called the Passport 2 Purity Getaway package . It is produced by FamilyLife, a division of Cru (former Campus Crusade for Christ) and consists of a five lecture CD package including a journal and exercises designed as a weekend retreat for a pre-pubescent child and his/her parent(s). Passport 2 Purity was not my initiative. Our trip came about because Judy had heard from several home-schooling mom friends how they had taken their daughters on a road trip to go through the CDs. She even heard how a mom took a trip with husband and two sons to through the curriculum. So a couple months ago, Judy suggested we take our two older boy

A Man's Review of How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk

Van Epp’s RAM Model helps men set the pace in dating relationships When a man learns ballroom dance, he takes the lead and his partner follows. If he’s dancing the tango, he maintains a strong frame - right elbow up, straight posture, and a firm but gentle hand cupping his partner’s shoulder blade. Once the music starts, he moves in rhythm with the beat and takes decisive steps. He sets the pace. John Van Epp’s classic tome, How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk is a ballroom dance guide for dating. It’s written to help men and women to determine the right tempo to pace their dating relationship. Though the book does not specifically address men, this Art of Manliness interview with Van Epp does. General relationship books are often addressed primarily to women, as evidenced by “jerk” in the title, which is a gendered term for men. In spite of the title, the book offers a road map for how men can lead in a dating relationship. There’s a strong case for affirming traditional

Why Asians Run Slower

My brother got me David Epstein's book The Sports Gene . It is a fascinating quick read. If you're interested in sports and science, it will enthrall you.  I finished it in three days. Epstein's point is that far more of an athlete's performance is due to genetics than due to the so-called "10,000 hour" rule promulgated by books such as Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell and Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin (both which are very good). The 10,000 hour rule states that any person can reach expert level of performance in a sport if they devote 10,000 hours of deliberate and intentional practice.  That's a lot of hours. Most people aren't capable of anywhere close. And that's precisely Epstein's point. Someone who devotes 10,000 hours of sport-specific practice is likely genetically gifted for the sport in extraordinary ways AND genetically gifted in their ability to persevere and benefit from practice. Therefore, a person who can pra
