The consequences of feminism speak for themselves. Article here. Excerpt:
'Watching Mark playing with our children is simply wonderful. He'd do anything for them and that makes our family feel secure and special.
Yet the relationship he has with Ellie and Harvey often makes me pine for the father figure I never had.
Not only did I grow up without a father, my mother never even told him she was pregnant with me - as far as he is concerned, I simply don't exist.
After three decades, Mum thinks I should accept this situation and get on with my life, but I've felt the stigma of being fatherless all my life. I resent the fact she never gave him the chance to be named on my birth certificate.'

Yep, women never do the kinds of perverted things men are accused of. No way. Uh-huh.
Story here. Excerpt:
'Two women in Seminole County, Fla., are accused of performing sex acts in front of children at a community pool bathroom while a third woman photographed them, according to a police report.
...
A woman told police that she was walking into the bathroom with her children, and noticed Hernandez and Jimenez naked and apparently performing oral sex. She said another woman was photographing the acts.
The pregnant mother said she tried to leave the area with her children but the women would not let her leave. She said she was threatened not to call the police.
...
Hernandez and Jimenez face lewd and lascivious exhibition charges as well as battery on a pregnant person, false imprisonment of an adult and child under 13 years old.'

The Woman's Century? Never heard that one, but nothing surprises me anymore. Notice the links towards the end of the article. Excerpt:
"The 21st century has been called the Woman’s Century. Hillary Clinton is running for President, women are playing stronger roles in the workplace and the female profile is rising in many professional fields. So why does no one seem shocked that gender discrimination still lingers in the workplace today?"

"An Arizona female teacher charged with having a consensual sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student was caught on tape telling the teen to deny the affair to his parents and asking her husband if he wanted to have children with her when the whole "mess" blows over.
Jennifer Mally, a 26-year-old high school English teacher and cheerleading coach at Paradise Valley High School in Phoenix, was indicted on 17 counts of sexual misconduct with a minor stemming from what police described in court documents as a long-term sexual relationship."

'“This is certainly not limited to male teachers,” Downs said, because many recent reports of teachers having sex with students involved female teachers. “It says to a teacher, male or female, ‘You’d better keep your hands off or there will be serious consequences.”'

Michael Cox, 43, a prominent member of Fathers for Justice, has failed to pay maintenance for 12 years because he claims the system is "oppressive, unjust and discriminatory" towards men.
...
Mr Cox is paid nothing for the time he looks after his three teenage boys, but the Child Support Agency demands he pay their mother £365 a month for the time they are with her."

Story here. Excerpt:
"Then his former wife was granted an injunction stopping him even gesturing to his children as they passed. 'It was incredible. She said it was harassment, and the court believed her. But I carried on waving.
...
'I was damned if I was going to be prevented from waving at my own children. Naively, maybe, I assumed the whole business would be cleared up at the next court hearing.'
It wasn't. Instead, Mark left that courtroom in handcuffs, sentenced to four months, having been told that waving was tantamount to stalking his ex. He couldn't believe what was happening."

In Praise Of Skinned Knees And Grubby Faces
Excerpt:
'When I was a teacher, I asked my head of department why every textbook seemed to have a girl achieving her dream of being a carpenter while the boys were morons. She replied that boys had had it their own way for too long, and now it was the girls' turn. Ouch.'

Article here. Excerpt:
"To counter male control of the dialogue, such feminists seek to suppress politically incorrect words and ideas. In the workplace, laws such as those against verbal sexual harassment control words. In academia, ideas are regulated by language codes which categorize criticism or "attacks" on categories of human beings -- other than white males -- as hate speech. Even children's textbooks are edited to remove politically incorrect references."

"Los Angeles County officials say a deadbeat dad who tried to renew his passport while stuck in Hong Kong was forced to pay a $311,491 child support bill.
The man, whose name was not released, was forced by federal authorities to pay the amount -- thought to be the largest single child and spousal support payment ever made in the United States -- or risk losing his passport, effectively trapping him in Hong Kong, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday."

Article here. Excerpt:
"I was shocked to find that there's plenty about the ad that actually offends my own sensibilities. For starters: The depiction of men as pigs. I can understand the idea behind it -- that men who do not respect their partners enough to protect them from pregnancy or disease are pigs. But filling an entire bar with the nastiest of male stereotypes implies that almost all men are pigs. I'm also not too hot about the underlying message that men are solely responsible for condom use."

As Matt mentioned, FOX and CBS have rejected the commercial. Several reasons are cited in the article, but nothing about misandry or media male bashing. Excerpt:
"Jim Daniels, vice president for marketing at Trojan, said the ad is more expensive than any previous campaigns, but he declined to give a specific amount. Daniels said the company's goal is to "dramatically increase" condom use in the U.S. "The 'Evolve' ad does a nice job of being humorous, but it's also a serious call to action," Daniels said, adding, "The pigs are a symbol of irresponsible sexual behavior and are juxtaposed with the condom as a responsible symbol of respect for oneself and one's partner"

What Men Still Don't Know About Women, Relationships, and Love
"In his first book in fifteen years, the author of the classic book on men, The Hazards of Being Male, explores the relationship dilemmas of contemporary men and women. What Men Still Don't Know About Women, Relationships, and Love uniquely addresses the timeless complexity of love and relationships. It is not uncommon for contemporary men to believe that they have done everything right in a relationship, only to find that even their best intentions have failed them. Dr. Herb Goldberg attempts to bridge the gap between a man's naturally distancing personality and his need for a close relationship. Explanations are given as to why it is actually men who take longer to get over a failed relationship and why a man's true relationship enemy is one that lies deep within himself. Many of the paradoxes and conundrums of men's relationship experiences are explored, with case histories presented and guidelines for change offered."

If you think the "Evolve, men!" theme from Trojan is limited only to an ad or a special sub-site, think again. Go to the Trojans main site at http://www.trojancondoms.com/ and have a look. 'Pigs-to-men if you use Trojans Evolve' is the theme from start to finish.
MANN calls on men and women to boycott utterly Trojan brand condoms and to let them know just why you are doing so. The Trojans brand is owned by Church & Dwight Co. (NYSE ticker: CHD), who can be contacted here. On that page, in the "Visit our Websites" drop-down box, note the other brands owned by C&D; perhaps they could use some time on the shelf as well.

I wonder if they are as aggressive at enforcement with the girls? Story here. Excerpt:
'Fairfax County middle school student Hal Beaulieu hopped up from his lunch table one day a few months ago, sat next to his girlfriend and slipped his arm around her shoulder. That landed him a trip to the school office.
Among his crimes: hugging.
All touching -- not only fighting or inappropriate touching -- is against the rules at Kilmer Middle School in Vienna. Hand-holding, handshakes and high-fives? Banned. The rule has been conveyed to students this way: "NO PHYSICAL CONTACT!!!!!"
...
Hal's troubles began one day in March when he got up from his assigned cafeteria table and went to a nearby table where his then-girlfriend was sitting. He admits he broke one rule -- getting up from his assigned table without permission -- and he accepts a reprimand for that. "The table thing, I'm guilty," he said.
