Anonymous User writes "I came across this interesting column on the constitutional debate in Zambia and its emphasis on `gender equality'. The writer argues that the draft constitution actually encourages discrimination against men. (You need to scroll down a bit to get to the relevant part, starting from an anlaysis of Section 40 (4) )."

In this Dayton Daily News article, D.L. Stewart discusses the overconcern with motherhood and the lack of concern with fatherhood in both news reporting and the courtroom. It's refreshing to see mainstream news that reveals the female-favoring disparity between treatment of men and women.

The answer is of course predictable. The closing comment:

Gloria Steinem once remarked that we'll know women have reached full equality when a mediocre woman can get as far as a mediocre man. Are we there yet?

We're still a long way from there. But women can avoid the trap of having to be better than their male colleagues in order to reach the same heights. I advise my students to think carefully before they join any organization—to avoid leaping at the first job offer they get. Figure out whether that company is likely to help you reach your goals, as well as vice versa. Of course, you can go to work in a male-dominated industry or at a company with few or no high-ranking women, but you must go in with your eyes open and be prepared to tough it out. Be aware that, even today, you may be a pioneer. And the way you can always tell a pioneer is, she's the one with the arrows sticking out of
her back.

Here it is-- it'll help prevent AIDS, don't you know? Gee, so would emasculating men entirely, or maybe making women wear chastity belts, so let's just do it!

Excerpt:

The South African study, reported in Public Library of Science Medicine, found it had a protective effect for some of the 3,280 young men involved.

Circumcision is thought to help protect against HIV because cells under the foreskin are vulnerable to the virus.

Evil White Male Oppressor writes "A drunk woman tries to open the door of an aircraft in flight and she is released on a "Good Behavior" Bond". Uhm, isn't what she did a terrorist act?!"

Expecting the usual "it's all guys doing it" subtext, I was pleasantly surprised to read this on MSN. Despite the title it directly states, and repeatedly, that women cheat as often as men. Refreshing coming from MSN.

unrulypassenger writes "I haven't seen much here on the subject of the U.S. Supreme Court nominee and how the possiblitiy of Roe v Wade (abortion rights) being overturned would negatively impact the lives of all American males. Perhaps it's because this is primarily a Canadian forum, I'm not sure if I'm right on that. I suppose it would be an economic advantage to Canada and the other countries where abortions are obtainable. But American males' lives would be thrown back into the 20th Century/1950's backseat Chevy era and shotgun wedding times of yore ...not to mention the consequences of changes in child support laws, collection of social security numbers and all that has changed since the Pill and abortion rights. Men would be impacted far more than women and it looks as if that hasn't yet become apparent to many. There's not much we can do other than writing our Senators and keeping it zipped until we die. Article here."

Ed. note: MANN is owned and moderated largely (if not entirely) by American men. However it is meant to be a pan-national information/activism site and accepts submissions from anywhere in the world about topics relevant to men's issues regardless of where they come up, as misandry is, unfortunately, a global phenomenon.

Of note, the shelter for abused men managed to get a roof in the nick of time before last winter, but still needs renovations before it can open.

Media still doesn't get that women are violent too.

The television show described here may be viewable only on NZ TV, and late at night on a Wednesday at that, but it's still good to see that it's airing. It seems to cover many of the concerns of men's rights activists everywhere. If you're in NZ and can see it, please do so and give us feedback. (Please record it and view it later, if you have to.)

Most readers here might not be concerned with this, but it's worth reading to become more informed about problems with technologically assisted reproduction techniques.

This is an interesting presentation of the sexual concerns of astronauts on long missions. It's a theoretical matter today, but in the future a number of people may be personally involved with the issue.
