I'm posting this for Ken Robertson - thanks for your activism, Ken!:
Dear Barnes & Noble:
I noticed you have an enormous women's studies section but no men's studies section. I enjoy your stores and I have made online purchases, but having such a biased selection of books on gender issues really makes your store appear outdated. There are many books addressing men's issues, and it would be nice if, when I visit your store, I could stop by a men's studies section to see what's available. Please contact me and let me know why there is not one.
Thank you,
Kenneth Robertson

To Whom It May Concern:
I am a regular customer of Barnes & Noble, not only at local retail stores but also on-line, as I am participating in a boycott against Amazon.com due to their needless patent on 1-click shopping. Recently, I have noticed another issue of great personal and philosophical importance to me, the lack of a Men's Studies book section in your retail stores. Barnes & Noble does include a separate section for books on Women's Studies, and I see no reason why you should not devote a section to Men's Studies. It would demonstrate that your store is fair and non-discriminatory when it comes to the representation and accessibility of gender issues.
As I have noticed that Borders Books does have a well-stocked section on Men's Studies, I do have an alternative to Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com when it comes to doing business in retail stores or on-line. I do hope that your store will soon add a Men's Studies section so that I can maintain my business with you and have a clear conscience.
Thank you for your time,
Scott Garman

I'm posting this for Cynthia Lam:
Dear Barnes & Noble,
I am a student at Pasadena City College. I recently
read a few articles about men's issues. I became
interested in some of the subjects and came to your
bookstore to browse the topics. But I only saw a
women's studies area. I found out that your bookstore
had some books on the men's issues I wanted to find.
But it would have been easier to find them in a
section for men rather than having to search all over
and bother the staff. And also, if there were a men's
section, I could look at other books covering the
topic. I just wanted to write and suggest the idea of
creating a section for men's topics.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Lam
