UCLA Daily Bruin - Which Sex Does "The Work of the World?"

	posted by Scott on Thursday April 05, @02:43PM from the inequality/double-standards dept.
	Marc Angelucci writes "Glenn Sacks, a key activist in L.A. who sparked furor at UCLA for twice debunking the rigged "one in four" rape myth, has written another ground-breaking article. This one responds to a feminist professor's claim that "it is women who do the work of the world." Borrowing from Warren Farrell's Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say, Sacks helps expose the falsified data from the U.N. that women work "more hours" than men internationally. Sacks is upset, though, that the editors titled his article "Women Don't Do The Work of the World, Men Do," explaining he meant to argue that BOTH sexes do the work of the world. Is the title accurate? And if not, was it careless error, or sabotage? You be the judge."

Headline distorts writer's intention (Score:1) by Scott (scott@mensactivism.org) on Friday April 20, @04:57PM EST (#1) (User #3 Info) http://www.vortxweb.net/gorgias/mens_issues/index.html I'm posting this at the request of Glenn Sacks: Headline distorts writer's intention In last Wednesday's issue of the Daily Bruin I refuted UCLA professor Christine Littleton's statement, "It is women who do the work of the world" ("Women don't do the work of the world, men do," Daily Bruin, Viewpoint, April 4). Unfortunately, a misleading headline was placed on my submission, a headline that implied that my argument was that women do not work and that only men do. This obviously does not reflect my views. While I believe that men's labor and contributions are often ignored by our society, I explained in my submission that men and women, both in the United States and the world, work roughly the same amount, when work both inside and outside the house is counted. The implication of the headline is just as absurd as Professor Littleton's original statement, and is exactly the kind of one-sided gender vilification that I oppose. Glenn Sacks UCLA graduate
