One NH Democrat's Objections to the Men's Commission

warble writes "Sen. Katherine Wheeler, D-Durham claims, "Men are not suffering the kind of institutional discrimination women did. I’m sorry you feel put upon, but it’s not institutional discrimination..." This callus statement demonstrates that many women in positions of power do not believe there is a real crisis for men. It does not matter that suicide rates have dramatically risen. For her, that is an acceptable condition. This article outlines some of the objections by democrats to the commission for men. It is truly an indication of ignorance, on the part of Ms. Wheeler, to claim there is no institutional discrimination against men. Ms. Wheeler just doesn't get it." It has certainly been interesting to see from where the objections to the commission have emerged so far.
