Bio

“Men may seem as detestable as joint stock companies and nations; knaves, fools and murderers there may be; men may have mean and meager faces; but man, in the ideal, is so noble and so sparkling, such a grand and glowing creature, that over any ignominious blemish in him all his fellows should run to throw their costliest robes.”

- Herman Melville,  Moby Dick

ABOUT JACK DONOVAN

Jack Donovan moonlights as an advocate for the resurgence of patriarchal, paleo-masculine values among the Men of the West.  He has contributed articles to Alternative Right.com and has also written for the anti-feminist/men’s interest site The Spearhead.

Donovan has appeared on television and radio to discuss the topic of manhood, and in 2010 spoke to a group of students at a private high school about “Masculinity in the 21st Century.”

His controversial first book, Androphilia (written under the pen name Jack Malebranche) was a polemic criticizing the endemic leftism and effeminacy of contemporary gay activism and gay culture. Donovan advocated the abandonment of sexuality-as-identity and encouraged men with homosexual preferences to interact with the world as men above all else — adhering to the same fundamental codes and masculine ideals as their heterosexual peers. He was interviewed in the documentary film The Butch Factor (2009).

Jack Donovan is originally from rural Pennsylvania. He has lived and worked in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and currently resides in Portland, Oregon.
