Tomorrow is the last day of December, of 2016 (!!!) and of Contradictions Month at Man Repeller. It was an apropos theme with which to close out the year, if for no other reason than this New Years seems to be less about the anticipation of something good, more about the anticipation of passing something shitty. Like taking out the trash with a jump in our step.
It was also appropriate because we spend a lot of time at Man Repeller peeling back the top layer of our lives and unpacking the stuff that doesn’t quite line up. In the most critical of lights, our world is just a pile of annoying and lovable contradictions. They can be funny, confusing or kind of beautiful. Let’s review…
We asked and answered some important Qs…
Why Do Women Still Wait for Marriage Proposals?
Why Do I Feel Compelled to Share Stuff Before I’m Ready?
