Modern men feel emasculated, study claims
Article here. Excerpt:

There is hope
Just had a look at the link, and also at the comments section and I have to say there are plenty of men who are willing to put their case.
Most promising of all is the fact that there don't seem to be too many comments taking the usual "men are just moaning because they had it easy for so long" line. Well, not as many as usual;).
Maybe people are starting to take the MRA's case seriously after all...
