Loneliness in Men at Christmas Time

Although this is an important topic to discuss during every Christmas period, the events of 2020 make it much more topical this year. The COVID19 Pandemic has left the world in a state of confusion. It has forced the most extroverted people to avoid interaction, and the most introverted people to live in a constant state of loneliness. Although loneliness isn’t gendered, men in particular do tend to struggle. What are the facts and how can each of us help this Christmas?

Discord Leak: “We shouldn’t and we shouldn’t and we shouldn’t…”

We are angry. Justifiably angry. Some might call it righteous indignation, but that is far too anodyne a term to use. The Discord scandal has stirred everything we believe that is decent within us in reacting, yes angrily, to how appallingly, shockingly awful society treats women.

It has gone on too long. It needs to stop. Now!
