As I sit here shaking my head, all I can say is Isn't about time someone started to investigate why our sons are doing this?!"

Anthony Davis was almost killed in a knife attack by his ex-girlfriend. His defense is that he defended himself by punching his assailant. She got black eyes; he almost died; he was arrested. Read about it here.

Glenn will discuss the increasing trend towards men as primary caregivers of children with host Madeleine Randall on ABC Radio's Early Morning program in Australia on Monday, November 18 at 8:30 am PST. You can listen to the show via the Internet.

FoxNews has recently commented on an article by Wendy McElroy that elaborates on how feminism destroys the lives of people who dare to contradict it.

[T]he media should stop treating slander as though it was a counter-argument. When men who question feminist data are bashed as batterers, reporters should demand hard evidence for this criminal charge.

Glenn will discuss anti-male hostility on college campuses and his new article "Why Males Don't Go to College" (She Thinks, 11/12/02) on the Charles Goyette Show on Friday, November 15 at 5 PM PST on KFYI AM 550 in Phoenix, AZ. Listeners can call the show at (602) 258-5394 or e-mail the host. For more information, go to GlennSacks.com.

The man is uncomfortable with the mattress and keeps tossing and turning, which obviously annoys his wife. The wife then suddenly grabs a frying pan and hits him over the head! After this “humor,” the viewer is told that that there is a sale on at American Furniture Warehouse. To send an email of protest, see this page."

In his latest article, "Why Males Don't Go to College," men's issues columnist Glenn Sacks blasts American universities as "hostile environments" for males. He takes readers into the classrooms of his old alma mater, UCLA, to expose the bigotry which college men face on a daily basis. He also skewers what he calls the "timid male professors who are so content with their own careers that they were perfectly willing to allow 18 year-old boys to be beat up on rather than jeopardize their own comfort by speaking out" against anti-male bigotry.

Glenn will discuss the article on the Al Rantel Show tonight (Wednesday, November 13) at 7 PM PST on AM 790 KABC in Los Angeles. Listeners can call in to the show at 1-800-222-KABC.

Have I got an exclusive for you, some interesting news
about the men's pill, I would say more, but the real fun is finding out yourself isn't it? of course it is!
Click the link and read for yourself. I think you'll be surprised....

Steve writes "I will host this week's MANN chat, Wednesday night
(11/13), starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the usual location. The topic
for this chat will be 'Toward Male-friendly Family Law.'  I think most
men's activists would agree that there are many problems with the family
law system and that the system generally discriminates against men.  To
effect positive change, it might help to consider what a reformed family
law system would look like.  What is your vision of a male-friendly
system of laws relating to marriage and divorce?    Join us at
this week's MANN chat to share your vision and learn from others.  Invite
a friend or two to join you!"

CJ writes "The Boston Globe has recognized that men are abused by women by publishing Cathy Young's excellent article that points out that domestic violence policies are all too often influenced by an outdated, one-sided, and sexist view of abuse."

Marc writes "Please check out the website National Coalition of Free Men, Los Angeles chapter, and sign our guesbook! We could use your support and feedback. Be sure to click on "flyer." That cute little boy smiling at you on the upper left is Ray. He grew up to become a battered male and a Vietnam Vet, and he's now one of NCFM's most active members! In fact he designed the flyer! Oh, and don't forget to click on "activist projects" to see the letters of support for a commission for men coming from leaders all over the community. The declaration by Patricia Overberg at the top names the DV shelters who abused and mistreated her just because she dared to make some space for male victims. Big thanks to Warble and his friend for designing the website, to Ray for designing the flyer, to all chapter members for their hard work, to NCFM national for their support and for a start-up grant, and to everyone else for their support as well and for being part of a movement that will not stop, ever, until we see equal justice for men. Of course there's much more in site for our site, but this is what we have so far and we'd love to hear from you in our guestbook. Thanks!"

Unfortunately, this article was put in the entertainment section, rather than being written in a slightly more serious style and published as an editorial. I also don't buy the "Fathers may not, on the whole, have it as bad as mothers." Nevertheless, the essay deals with the silencing of men, and it shows that men are starting to speak out.

This other article deals with the general silencing, in the US, of any voice that runs contrary to pc dogma. It's good to see more and more people speaking out about the silencing of men and the social disease known as political correctness.

I'd like to take a moment today to honor the military veterans who have made all kinds of sacrifices for the rights that most of us take for granted. If anyone has poems or other relevant thoughts on this, feel free to post them in the comments section of this story.

Though it focuses mostly on men acting individually, this article struck me as a further sign of just how strong an impact the men's movement is having. Researchers have started to ask about the role of men in the plummeting birth rate in Australia (a phenomenon occurring in most or all industrialized nations). This suggests to me that, as we take control of our lives over the next few decades, men and the men's movement will have at least as much of an impact on society as feminism has had over the last 35 or so years.

Hang onto your hats, ladies and gentlemen, we're in for a hell of a ride.

Raymond Cuttill writes "A revived www.MSNHatesMen.com is now running. It is a free antidote to the male bashing e-cards on the MSN "Love Stinks" section. The female e-card is now available, equivalent to the MSN one about pressing the pillow harder so you can't hear a man whining. If you think the female ecard is sexist, then you should think the male ecard sexist. This is not about hating women - it is about challenging the hatred of men."
