Skippy writes "Feminists have long complained about men objectifying women,
and most of us have learned to be cautious about using words
like "chick", "fox" or even "girl" unless it is pronounced
with two r's. But little is said about the ways in which
women objectify men. The author of Men Are Dogs actually
claims to like men. Or at least she likes dogs which is almost
the same."

Is there some of weird trend to paint the nearest man as an animal going on? First it was "The Care And Feeding Of Husbands" and now it's "Men Are Dogs" and all this from supposedly non-feminist women too. Ugh, I'm taking a hit of the whiskey right now.

Matt writes "Interesting story - men seeking right to wear skirts and not be assumed to be transvestites, gay, etc. Didn't women have the same thing with dress pants a couple decades back? I doubt though these men will get as much sympathy as women got then. Story here"

The Phoenix New Times this week has a cover story about a rookie policeman who brought in a woman who would likely face charges of DUI, and she immediately charged him with anally raping her. She has a history of such behavior, but as we all know, that don't mean nuthin'."

bledso writes "You have to see just how lopsided this "campaign" is. It's about "Dating Abuse Prevention"(the domestic violence campaign isn't any better). Guess who they are interested in protecting from abuse? Be sure to check out the media links on the right hand side of the page here and it will be painfully clear."



Isn't nice that they make these lessons to teach boys not to be abusers, and girls not to be abused? Since boys and girls are equals we know that boys are more mean than girls and not as innocent, because that's what feminists have taught us equality means. Since we know that girls are always right, (or at least, close enough that it's best to pretend they are and not make videos showing the girls as guilty or anything), then we know that the behavior must have been unwarranted. In the first conversation perhaps she had his study materials for his upcoming SATs and he needed them in order to try and get into the college he wants to go to. But even still, because of our "girls are innocent" principal of "logic", we know that if that is the case, he must have done something really mean to her to deserve that. Or maybe she just forgot to return them and it's his fault for not reminding her properly or for loaning them to someone who was obviously so absent-minded. No matter what, he has no right to be mad because she avoided him that day, because we've taken as an assumption that she's right and he's wrong. It's just too bad being a jerk isn't a crime yet, because this guy is obviously really upset with some girl somewhere and yelling at her so he deserves to be in jail. Ack!

Ray writes "Today’s men have issues that have always been there (oppressions they have never dealt with), and issues that have come about as a result of anti-male propaganda being disseminated through out the long, misandirst history of the women’s activist movement. The time is long overdue that men present a cogent voice addressing the issues of oppression in their lives, issues that are no less egregious than those women have faced, just different in their specifics.

School officials expelled the team's second-leading scorer and disciplined four other players. Woman reveals she lied about the gang rape. A woman is charged with filing fictitious reports, attempted extortion and prostitution. The MALE basketball players have not had their punishment reversed." TLE also submitted this and said "Good thing it was on video, or she would probably have gotten away with it. Even though the charges turned out to be false, the men are being punished. I wonder if senior Grady Reynolds can get unexpelled."

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.
