What does Barack Obama Mean For Men?
Article here. Excerpt:
'President Barack Obama is clear about one thing: he goes to bat for women. That's aptly demonstrated by his immediate signing off on the White House Council on Women and Girls and on what I call his "Ledbetter Payback Act," in reference, of course, to the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which I believe is a promised payback to feminists and women for their vote.
He may also help men --- some men, at least — in an incidental way with such programs as the construction jobs he hopes to create with his plan to rebuild the infrastructure. (But judging by how feminists are getting most if not all of what they want from him, they may get from him the requirement that the infrastructure contractors hire mostly women because the construction business is already mostly men).
But other than the construction jobs, how, in the direct and selective manner in which Obama helps women, will he help men, especially black men, who need as much help as black women and more help than white women, who are, usually, the main beneficiaries of governments' gender-aid programs?'
