Sexism Against Men a Result of the "Patriarchy???"

Here's an interesting bit from Excite News. The National Organization for Men Against Sexism has organized a conference to discuss how sexism against men is a result of a "sexist, patriarchal society." The overwhelming majority of murderers and homicide victims are male, and men are more likely than women to use drugs or drink in excess. These are the results of a sexist, patriarchal society, according to Brian Klocke, a University of Colorado-Boulder doctoral candidate in sociology. Although I'm happy that these folks want to shatter male stereotypes, I don't think doing it under the flag of feminist dogma is the way to go about it.
