Boycott Hallmark for Mother's Day Cards

Warren Farrell has shown some excellent examples in his books of how contempt for men has been institutionalized in society by packaging and selling it in greeting cards. He identifies Hallmark (particularly the "Shoebox" subdivision) as one of the biggest perpetrators of this act. Here's something simple you can do this year - don't buy a Hallmark card for any holiday, especially Mother's Day this weekend (there are a lot of degrading cards about men for this particular holiday). I personally believe that spending $3.50 for a piece of cardboard is a waste anyway, and that spending quality time with someone is the most appropriate gift you can give.
