You know that William Pollack theory that boys develop emotional deficiencies due to socialization which forces them to be emotionally detached? It's bunk, according to this article on Excite News. Dr. Mark S. Kiselica, associate professor and chair of the department of counselor education at The College of New Jersey in Ewing, says If that's the norm, then insecure attachments should be the norms for boys and men--men should long for intimate relationships, yet recoil from them. There's no empirical research to support those claims.

A student columnist at North Carolina State U. had this to say about how insulting modern advertising is. She specifically mentions the Rogaine commercials we all despise so much, and points out that they should be as insulting to women as they are to men. Applause.

A UK Group has admitted that it failed many young men who were sexually abused by a doctor over a span of eight years. According to the story, the group is considering new guidelines to streamline complaints about doctors. In the cases of the abused young men, the complaints were ignored or bogged down in red tape.

In typical feminist media fashion this article on Excite News acknowledges that both boys and girls are victims of date violence these days, but then goes on to focus almost entirely on the female victims. The report suggests that 9 percent of females and 6 percent of males in high school are victims of date violence. Not a large difference in percentages there. Wonder why male victims are ignored?

This story on Excite News reveals a new campaign by Utah State University to teach women alone how to to defend themselves against sexual assaults. The college offers a self-defense class "for women only" to this end. The article, at the end, acknowledges male victims of sexual assault, but then dismisses them based on numbers.

In spite of the author's obvious support of women holding sexual power over men, this column on Excite News makes a good point about how duplicitous feminism is regarding the sexual display of femininity, specifically, the exposing of women's undergarments as a fashion statement: is it women sexually expressing themselves, or women oppressing themselves by making themselves "objects" of men's desire? Unfortunately, the author does not point out the third possibility: that these women could be using sex as a manipulative advantage.

Contrary to the recent feminist posting on this Web site accusing men of apathy regarding men's health issues, this story on Excite News indicts a lack of education and awareness of prostate cancer as a chief cause of a lack of early detection, particulary among African American men. Also, if we have any readers from West Hollywood, get out there on Sept. 16 and get your free examination.

In this column by Warren Farrell, the sage of the men's movement takes a look at how recent lawsuits over technological advancements like frozen embryos may actually assist men in equalizing ourselves with women over whether we want to become fathers. In essence, he says contract law is going to become more important in custody cases than laws based on biology, specifically because more lesbian couples are going to find themselves in the same types of custody lawsuits as heterosexual couples.

Not PC sent in this article by TownHall columnist Paul Craig Roberts. Roberts writes that, contrary to the common stereotypes, men have also been harmed by the sexual revolution, which is making it increasingly difficult for men to find long-term relationships and, in particular, marriage with a woman. "Men do want marriage. There is no comfort in a different woman every night. Moreover, that approach to sex might produce offspring, but not a lifetime relationship with sons, daughters and grandchildren." Later in the article Roberts also looks at the way marriage has been decimated by easy divorces. He acknowledges that marriage has even become a foolish choice for most men these days, and that some serious reform of divorce laws will be needed recover the value of marriage. His message is that the sexual revolution has also destroyed the value of lifelong fathers, and so men are also the losers of the sexual revolution.

A. Hunter sent in a short rant (as she described it) on men's health and men's responsibility to take care of their health. You can read it by clicking "Read More" below. Hunter shares her experiences trying to get her husband to see a doctor regularly and the frustration it can cause. She raises some good points about how men are often their own worst enemy when it comes to health issues, but I think there are a lot of other factors that contribute to the problem as well.

frank h writes "This article says that the Governor of Nebraska is revoking the 'right' of an imprisoned mother to have her six-year-old son spend the night with her in prison. Hooo-Ray for common sense. The judges, on the other hand, favored the sleepover. This Governor needs to hear from men nationwide who applaud his action because he will surely hear from the feminists." This brings up some interesting questions. I think everyone would agree that having a child sleep in a prison with a parent convicted of murder is not a good idea, but what about less serious crimes? Do children not belong in prisons at all or should a parent (often the father, mind you) serving some time for a minor offense be given the right to see his or her child for an extended visit?

Neil Steyskal sent in this story from Australia's Herald Sun and writes "Having children that you haven't planned is one of the most serious risks for men. [This] new development brings us a bit closer to having more control over it."

In a surprising twist on the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court decision which banned a so-called "deadbeat" dad from fathering any more children, a Minnesota judge has banned a woman from having any more children after she was convicted for her role in the death of her infant. Pierce County Judge Dane Morey also sentenced Andrea Goetz, 26, to 10 years probation. Goetz was found guilty in June of second-degree reckless homicide in the death of her 3-month-old daughter. She had faced a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Still, she didn't get her due time in jail, as a man would have.

A group of whiny Georgia Republican women are claiming in this story that new districting maps (which openly discriminate against Republicans, according to the Democrats) discriminate more so against women. If the men's movement needed any more evidence that we are friends of neither liberals nor conservatives, this is it. It is notable, however, that the Democrat women in this controversy are not siding with the Republican women, claiming that the new maps are not discriminatory based on gender.
