Last time I was in my B & N local franchise and asked the lesbian, pierced, and tattooed fem-bot to help me find a book by Warren Farrell, she led me to the Self-Help section!
When I asked about where the "Men's Issues" shelf might be, she looked at me with a sly glance and said --- "Perhaps you should check out the Anger Management section." (And walked away.)
Well, she had a very nice, perky, literate ass.
So I took little offense.

I agree, I have looked for a men's issues section at our stores and found very little. I did find the War on Boys, Who Stole Feminism, and Spin Sisters, but they were in Politics I think. It was a while ago.
I would live to see 'Rantings' on the shelf right next to the books called "Bitch" and "Love your Vagina" Add a little perspective.

Hi Jen,
I'm thinking of submitting the new second edition of The Rantings of a Single Male to B&N for their online store, but their approval process takes 3-4 months! It might be worth it, just in case the book takes off, it can get onto the shelves quickly. Maybe not next to "Bitch" and the plethora of vagina-worship books, though. I might get nightmares!
FYI, the second edition will be shipped to Amazon this Tuesday, and should be in their distribution channel next week sometime. Apologies to those who are waiting on their back-ordered books!

Tom,
I would think your excellent book would immediately qualify under B & N's "multi-cultural diversity" policy, yes?
Oh, that doesn't include white / black males who have written provocative books?
My bad.

Do it Tom, even if it ends up not going through, you have a better chance doing it than not. Your book is very valuable, and can you imagine how many men, whose girlfriends are looking at the women's studies section, may stumble on yours? The impact you may have ? How many men you can save from enslavement to some femiharpy?
Your book is very powerful, and the more men who read it the better. I myself am planning on taking a copy to the library when I get one back from those I lent them to. Spread the word, however you can. I just refuse to lend my signed copy....mine!

T-Cloud,
There is a "wussie-poopy" section!
It's a small shelf in Business Management labelled-- "Emotional Intelligence: How Becoming More Like a Woman Will Make You More of a Man and Fatten Your Wallet So a Gold-digger Can Take You for All You're Worth!"
I think Dr. Phil is represented there.
Oh, the other "wussie-poopy" shelf is much larger; it's in the Children's section, under Potty Training! ;-)

I originally coined that phrase to mean effeminate males, but it grew to also mean wimpy and P-whipped men as well. But most of all it now means the men who like to be dominated by women, hate their own gender and aid and abet the feminists at every turn.
I HATE wussie-poopies...!

...and I found much of the same. I also found LOOKING FOR MR. RIGHT, a horrible picture-caption book written by Bradley Trevor Greive of Australia. I may have mentioned this one. Picture every possible insult about men, including "jokes" about cutting penises off, "cleverly illustrated" with old photographs that make implications of what the captions were suggesting. It's written, I suppose, for women to give to women who are hard on their luck with regard to "meeting the right guy."
Number 20 is FATHERS' RIGHTS: HARD-HITTING AND FAIR ADVICE FOR EVERY FATHER INVOLVED IN A CUSTODY DISPUTE, by Jeffery M. Leving and Kenneth A. Dachman. 21 is a book about overcoming prostate cancer. I'm up to 70 and I don't see a whole lot else that pertains to "men's rights."
Just keep the heat on and eventually we'll see progress, even if it comes begrudgingly.
Men are from EARTH. Women are from EARTH. Deal with it.
