Read this debasing and misandrist article here. Excerpt:
'If we want to get a handle on why young people in western countries aren't reproducing, we should look at the men. When we do, the picture is not flattering.'
The article of course says nothing about the behavior of women. They are never culpable just the victim.
Please email the writer (stern-at-thecitizen.canwest.com) as I have done and in a respectful manner explain to him about divorce rates, gender pandering judiciary, domestic violence stats as it relates to the culpability of women.
Chivalrous males such as this and the women who feel that it their right to have it all need a wake up call.
When are we going to realize as a society that it takes two to tango and their is equal blame on both sides? I believe if that happens we will be on the way to a more equitable society. Just my opinion. Articles like this make my blood boil.

Next time a woman tells you or implies that adult movies are viewed only by men, or almost only by men, send her this. (Among other things, the author, Violet Blue, is a respected sex-advice columnist with the San Francisco Chronicle.) Excerpt:
'In the first three months of 2007, according to Nielsen/NetRatings, approximately one in three visitors to adult entertainment Web sites was female; during the same period, nearly 13 million American women were checking out porn online at least once each month.

Article here. Excerpt:
'The new Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee’s legislation is intended to add to society’s confusion about men and women and proper sexual behavior.
According to CNS News, it requires the Department of Health to develop “standards of measuring gender”…apparently because a quick look between a person’s legs is too difficult.
"HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is required by the proposed law — The Affordable Health Choices Act,which was voted out of committee on July 15 — to create a database within one year of the law’s enactment that will include detailed information about those who sign up for government-run or supported health care programs, including their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, language and disabilities.
The proposed law states that the database can use the Office of Management and Budget “standards for race and ethnicity measures.”

Article here. Excerpt:
'Earlier this week, we explored some of the predicaments that college wrestling is dealing with right now -- programs being cut because of the recession, and/or as a way colleges attempt to comply with Title IX, the 1972 federal legislation that ensures equal opportunities for men and women in educational institutions receiving government aid.
It's all too easy for many in the college wrestling community to look at these challenges and respond with a "There's nothin' I can do about it" hopelessness or a "As long as my program's still in business, I really don't care" arrogance.

'Ah, equity. You can write a law and force it, but there still will be someone who feels they are on the short end, someone who will say, "This equity is not fair to me."
Is it time to revisit and revise Title IX?
...
I have met and known men who lost their life's dream when teams were cut and opportunities shrank for them to participate in sports. To them, Title IX is unfair. I couldn't agree more.
...
But the question remains, without Title IX, can the power structure in high school and intercollegiate athletics be trusted to ensure women continue to get a fair shake? If so, do away with it. If not, consider amending it. Or else we live with it, as unfair as it appears to some.
But since none of us can see into the future, it appears Title IX is here to stay.'

'Little boys haven’t changed, even if the way we parent has. They still love bugs and dirt and a glorious ride down a steep hill alone, full-speed, on a wicked three-speed bike. They still have a wildness that is beautiful to watch; when they shoot an arrow straight or skip a stone with all their might at the ocean and then wonder where it went, or play an air guitar with abandon with a best friend. And they need to be left alone once in awhile to be just … free.

'San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 22, 2009 -- As many as 60 patrons of the Boys To Men Mentoring Network recently gathered in the La Jolla home of Nancy and Michael Kaehr to support the noble work being done around the world by the mentoring program known as Boys to Men. The evening was a huge success raising over $125,000.00 -- almost 33% of their annual budget.
Most Successful Fundraiser Ever
"After months of planning and the hard work of ten committed volunteers lead by committee chair Teresa Bertino, Boys To Men of San Diego pulled off its most successful fundraiser ever," said Joe Sigurdson, a Boys to Men founder. The dedicated team hosted five separate house parties, each designed to inform guests about the program. Attendees were approached by committee members to answer any questions about the program and to gauge their interest and level of commitment. Those who showed an interest in helping Boys to Men were invited to a formal party for a night of pampering and inspiration.'

'A girls night in Victoria will be legally able to refuse biological men from the event following a decision in that state this morning.
Pinkalicious organisers were this morning successful in their application for a women’s only event with the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal (VACT).
Promoters applied to VCAT in May for an exemption from state equal opportunity laws to allow them to turn biological men away from the event.
Pinkalicious promoter Julie Mackenzie said it was a “historic”day for Melbourne’s lesbian community as the first enforced female-only event.'

'Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger rejected the rape allegations levied against him by Andrea McNulty in a brief statement on Thursday.
"The allegations against me are reckless and false," Roethlisberger said at the Steelers' facility in Pittsburgh. He did not take any questions.
"I would never, ever force myself on a woman," Roethlisberger said.
McNulty filed a civil lawsuit against Roethlisberger in Nevada alleging the quarterback raped her at a casino following a golf tournament last year. She has not filed a criminal complaint, and Nevada police have not investigated the claims as a result.'

Segment title: "The Violence We Ignore". The segment page is here and the archived show's .mp3 file can be downloaded with this link. Segment blurb:
"Talk of the Nation, July 20, 2009 · Earlier this month, football star Steve McNair was shot dead by his girlfriend in an apparent murder-suicide. In a recent article for The Baltimore Sun, co-author Ned Holstein points out that many news sources failed to mention that this was a tragic case of domestic violence, in which the male was the victim. Holstein talks about his article, "The Violence We Ignore," and why cases of men victimized by their wives and girlfriends are often overlooked."

Article here. Excerpt:
"Social psychologists have shown that 'implicit' or 'unconscious' bias can effect what people perceive and do, even in people who consciously hold non-prejudiced attitudes. These associations or mental shortcuts include automatic or implicit associations between minorities, particularly African Americans, and crime.
Implicit bias might lead the officer to automatically perceive crime in the making when she observes two young Hispanic males driving in an all-white neighborhood or lead an officer to be “under-vigilant” with a female subject because he associates crime and violence with males."

Article here. Excerpt:
'Did you know that a family court can order a man to reimburse the government for the welfare money, falsely labeled "child support," that was paid to the mother of a child to whom he is not related? Did you know that, if he doesn't pay, a judge can sentence him to debtor's prison without ever letting him have a jury trial?
Did you know that debtor's prisons (putting men in prison because they can't pay a debt) were abolished in the United States before we abolished slavery, but that they exist today to punish men who are too poor to pay what is falsely called "child support"?
...
This system is morally and constitutionally wrong, yet all the authorities say the court orders were lawful.
