"Jared has in the past run several commercials where the men who buy their wives Jared jewelry receive the incredulous response "He went to Jared!" In contrast, the men that don't are treated with disdain by their wives. Several months ago there was a letter writing campaign which targeted these commercials, resulting in an apologetic response from Jared.
For some time it appeared that these commercials had been taken off the air. Unfortunately, at least one of these commercials seems to have reappeared."

According to this article
there is a man shortage in London, and it's going to get worse. However, I have a feeling the real meaning of this article can be found in this quote "This could make it increasingly hard for the city's women to settle down with their ideal partner, said Jenny Trent-Hughes, a relationship expert and agony aunt." Ah, that sounds about right. For "ideal" read: high earning man who enables her to stay at home, I think that's what they mean by man shortage. The question remains, with the "man shortage" bound to get worse, what will women's reaction be?

"Record numbers of women with HIV"
"Nearly half of 37.2 million adults living with HIV are women, figures show."
I'd expect no more from the oh-so-feminist BBC though. Story here."

bandersnatch writes "An article on CNN mentions that half of adults infected with HIV (in sub-Saharan Africa) are women. Doing the math, that must mean that the other half are men, worthy the same awareness as the female statistic. However, as usual, men are only mentioned in this article as a scapegoat for the rising infection rate in women."

Dr. Dan writes "A study in Australia found that men take more narcotics than women even when the pain level is the same. "Men's reputations as being big softies when confronted with pain could also help explain the result," said Prof. Mari Botti, the woman who chairs the research unit where the study was done.
Isn’t it tiresome that when men complain about pain, we’re babies or "softies," but when we tough it out, we’re harangued for just trying to be macho?"

Anon user writes "Blue Ribbon Prostate Initiative
I was watching "Deborah Norville Tonight" on MSNBC today (11/18) and saw a story about a prostate cancer awareness advertising campaign. The story focused on whether or not the ads were "appropriate" for children to view because of their slogans. (Of course, I don't think that similar ads for breast cancer awareness would be "inappropriate".)
Julie Lewit-Nirenberg, the President and CEO of the Blue Ribbon Prostate Initiative (BRPI), mentioned that prostate cancer awareness is important enough to justify the campaign that could save the lives of 30,000 men a year.
She also pointed out that prostate cancer is as dangerous for men as breast cancer is for women, something that MRAs already know, but it was the first time I saw something like this mentioned in the mainstream media. The BRPI was only formed a few months ago, and from what I saw on their web site, it looks promising!
From the BRPI web site:
"The Blue Ribbon Prostate Initiative was started by women who are veterans of the breast cancer wars. For several reasons, some of them selfish:
* We want our men healthy and able to perform.
* We want them alive.
* We have seen what the power of driven women can do.
* We have seen what information and ingenuity can do.
* We believe that saving men's lives is as important as saving women's lives."
