Story here. Excerpt:

'ST. JOSEPH, Minn. – Two men will discuss sexual discrimination during a presentation Oct. 22 at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph.

Jim Sterba, professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, and Warren Farrell, a researcher and international speaker on men’s issues, speak on “Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men?” at 7 p.m. at Alumnae Hall, Haehn Campus Center, CSB.

Their presentation will focus on issues of discrimination in the workplace and in schools. Sterba and Farrell will also demonstrate how to engage in controversial conversations in constructive ways.'

When I read this, I seem to recall it was posted a while back..maybe the same event happened last year?

Anyway, as I pointed out at that time, notice some of the disparities in the "Men's Series" vice the "Women's Series" : for example the Women's Series includes "discussions on obstacles that women face", while the Men's Series includes "discussion on patriarchy". Obviously its rigged to some extent. I admire Farrell and am also glad that he read and highly praised Moxon's "The Woman Racket" (check out the publishers website to read his brief commentary on that book - "www.imprint.uk/.." or something)
