Chris writes "This is an article from the Harvard Crimson about some guys who built a giant snow penis, natuarlly offending feminists who decided to destroy it.

Join us for some MENS ACTIVISM. March 8th at the McLean Hilton outside Washington DC from 8:00 am to noon. Martha Burk is coming to town. Yes, that's right, the feminist who campaigns raucously against Augusta National Golf Club for not admitting women while she presides over dozens of all women organizations. NCFM of DC will be there to meet her. Join us as we protest her feminist hypocrisy. more information

A while ago, most of you read my article against alimony and I said I'd get back to you when it's finished, well it's practically finished but when I read Lee's post on alimony I had to post this, so click "read more/post comments" to read it. The article is co-written by Allen Cole and I must say were it not for him, chances are this article would not exist. So read it well, learn the counter arguments, and tell people the way it is.

CJ writes "Here is a disturbing article that glorifies the successes of black women over black men. A quote from the article "Not just teachers but the entire educational support system now favors girls over boys, argues Monette Evans, a Tuskegee College vice-president." “Most black males were encouraged to be athletes,” not scholars. None made it big as jocks (obviously); instead, “over half of the males who graduated with me are in jail.” The main focus of the article is that it is "hard to find a good black man" My opinion is that if black women (society) wants more good black men, start creating academic environments that are pro-male, because the current academic climate is misandric, and is expecially broken for the black male.

CJ writes "http://www.theonion.com/onion3906/women_now_empowered.html

Enjoy this humorous article about how today a woman is empowered by anything that she may do (shopping, buying shoes...), but also realize that mass marketing efforts DO ACTUALLY embody this feminist ideology, and this could account for the dramatic increase in misandric messages in all commercial media outlets. This is so because feminism is a class-based ideology, and so it tends to see everything in antagonistic terms. So, in order for women's lives to get better, men's lives must get worse, and this is reflected in contemporary mass media. Enjoy and reflect..."

I will host this week's MANN chat, Wednesday night (2/26),
starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the href="http://www.mensactivism.org/chat.shtml">usual location. The
topic for this chat will be "Attacking Misandry on Campus."   In a
recent essay, href="http://www.glennjsacks.com"> Glenn Sacks artfully described
some of the problems college men face on campus.  Those problems
are rooted in misandry and happen not just on college and university
campuses, but in elementary schools and high schools as well.  From
labeling young boys as "proto-rapists" and "proto-harassers" to
inviting notorious man-hating women to speak at graduation ceremonies,
misandry is alive and well in the academy.  Wanna do something
about it?  Join us at tonight's MANN chat to discuss strategies
for dealing with misandry on campus.  See you there!  (Please
note: This is the topic I had hoped to discuss last week, but the chat
server was down.)

The Gonzo Kid writes "I don't know whether this is believable or unbelievable. Read this: http://www.crowmagazine.com/ms-sperm.htm Martha Burke's email is capp@capponline.org. Drop her an email and let her know what you think. On second thought, it is believable. This is what "feminism" is all about; if you've ever doubted it, here's the smoking gun. Fight the Evil!!!!!"

Serge writes "Have your say." Pointing out the double standards here will be a good thing.

Martian Bachelor writes "Here's some classic damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't academic "research" on chivalry and sexism which was in the news recently. A short quote may help give an idea: "Chivalry isn't all it's cracked up to be, suggests new research showing that men who hold doors for women also tend to hold sexist views about them...""

Dan Lynch writes "This is funny and yet so true. Anyways due to administrations requests I am going to post a check list that you should check out. Just read the first comment of this thread to see an interesting view by an unknown author."

School programs exclude boys" and "Boys' advocate contends girls-only offerings in Petaluma, Sonoma illegal." See how Joe Manthey's activism is making some notice.

Dan Lynch writes "Bill Maher is getting a new show. After looking at the site I think its possible that a person can submit their own ideas for a topical discussion. Now I don't know the whole score but I believe that Maher did try to bring some men's issues to the table but was stiffled for whatever reason. The advertisement I have heard states that the guests will have far more "Freedom" to discuss their beliefs on the issues. I think this is an oppurtunity worth trying despite the high chance for *rejections*. Personally its my dream to have more feminists and more masculists debating in the same room. Let's hope Bill stands true to his word."

Dan Lynch writes "I came across a new book (Violence and Gender Reexamined) written by Professor Rich Felson and published by the American Psychological Association. The author goes on to describe that it is the 'non violence'(or chivalry) in regards to women that is the sexism. Plus a great deal more. The Author does not play to any agenda and shoots from the hip. I will post the flap synapsis of the book with written permission from the author. Also; the contents and the first chapter of this book is available upon request to my email address,(all with the permission of the author). One final note on this book. It was found in a university display. A good sign in my opinion. My email address is lynch4569@rogers.com"
