http://www.oondi.com/en/read:207
In considering the paper "Naming Men as Men" (Collinson and Hearn, 2001), it is necessary to challenge the authors' analysis of ‘authoritarianism'. In particular, there is an urgent need to rethink the emotive issue of violence between men and women to take into account inconsistencies that have been uncovered in the academic literature. We can then evaluate Collinson and Hearn's c...text/html2008-05-07T11:02:36+01:00http://www.oondi.comridleyduffAre Your Children Great Teachers?
http://www.oondi.com/en/read:206

Life is an endless process of probing and searching for satisfying relationships for the purpose of economic and social gain. We constantly try to seduce each other for different reasons. Beyond seduction to satisfy our desire for love and sex, there are employers seducing employees (and vice versa), salespeople seducing customers, consultants seducing clients, advertisers seducing consumers, writ...
