A Good Move for Mens' Literacy

Education Mark writes "According to a Vancouver Sun article, a book club specifically for men is now being established at the Vancouver Public Library. The title, "Reading group closes the book on allowing women" is unfortunate as it appears to place a negative spin on the subject, but given mens' typically lower academic performances than women these days this club is both welcome and needed."

I wonder of they were inspired by the men's program at Pierce College in Washington State? That is kinda right next door...anyway, it's a great idea!

Indeed, and 10 members at the beginning isn't a bad start. More power to them.

I too, don't like the negative spin on the title, but we have to keep reminding people that there are all kinds of women's only clubs and no one seems to bother about that.

Secondly men need to read more, thats a big problem with our rights I think.

Thirdly, I still don't think we should polarize this into a boys vs girls thing. I dont know how we can avoid it, but I have to tell you we need to get the truth out there as much as we can to start hoping for change. Along with being active ourselves I really have to believe that women when given the right information will try to solve the problem. At least we are morally obligated to try , as all of us here know that its the proponderance of false information that has been breeding that last decades or so.
