Jack Spratt writes "Alternet is a website read by many progressives (what some of you might call leftists), myself included.
This article seems to indicate that many people, not just men's advocates, find the D&G paraphenilia offensive.
Of course, as ever, it focuses on how the D&G stuff harms *women*. Ah well, one step at a time.

If you would like to offer a word of encouragement (and encourage them that there is a healthy market) or even enroll in the trial (to take place at 14 centers in Europe), you might try to contact Schering Plough or Organon.

mens_issues writes "Bud Lite has a Super Bowl commercial featuring two men and their dogs. One man orders his dog “Piper” to fetch a Bud Lite from an icebox. After the dog does so, he asks the other man what his dog can do. The second man prompts his dog “Fergus” to apparently attack the crotch of the first, who throws the beer in the air. It’s caught by the second man with glee.

On the 28th of this month, Dadi.org is due to close down due to lack of funds, with ten years of service in our movement. A sad end, seeing as how there's a huge amount of info there, a last second save might be possible, I can't say, but drop Gerald a line at dadi.org@earthlink.net give him some good words for his effort. Perhaps you might want to have a look through the archive, at stuff like this this classic I posted a while ago. A real shame, that's all I can say.

A few pieces of the article seem to attempt to bias it against Glenn's campaign, such as the title and the unnecessary mention that he's "often at odds with feminists.", and putting it in the "strange" category. However, I think it's obvious enough that the shirts are offensive that the article won't keep people from realizing it, and if anything is a good advertisement for the His Side radio show.

There's a move toward equality in statutory rape laws, as shown by this article. If proposed changes become law, both boys and girls, who engage in consentual underage sex, can be charged with statutory rape. I have to say that I'm not sure either should be charged, if they're close to the same age, but if the government believes that boys should be open to charges, then girls should also be open to charges. The way the law now stands only boys can be charged.

It's "50 First Dates"! A wonderfully romantic comedy opening in theatres on Febuary 13th about a man who must try to win the love of his forgetful girfriend day after day after day. Remember what Farrell said about human beings and human doings? She gets loved just for being, and his being, (and even his past doings), are forgotten every day and so he must do more to earn her love, (and naturally she simply needs to be in order to "earn" his, no matter how a**holish her doings have been). Best of all, while women and girls across the US are oohing and ahhing about how that would be the perfect relationship, they get to watch the beautiful Drew Barrymore beat a man repeatedly with a baseball bat as a hilarious result of him trying to help the boyfriend win her love.
