Undermining the military by gender norming does not enhance our defense.

I agree.

I don't know what your issues are concerning men's rights

They are too numerous to go into here but the long and the short of it is that the women's rights movement has weighted the scales in their favor leaving men behind. A prime example of this is in health care. We constantly hear how health research is focused on men and not women. Heart studies are brought out as proof. But when you stop to look at all the facts you come up with things that show reality. In the 1920s men lived one year less on average than women. As medicine improved the gap widened to 7 in favor of women. Men die of prostate cancer in the same numbers as women die of breast cancer but breast cancer receives 660% more funding.

Men's parental rights are a big one too but like I said too much to go into here.

Personally, as a woman, I'm tired of hearing about "women's issues" as if we live in different countries. And I agree that men have been shafted by courts ... BIG TIME ... when it comes to custodial and support of children. And the children suffer too.

I wish we could get back to common sense; probably not in our lifetime, unfortunately.
