I think the Women's Movement did a lot to highlight girls in the last 20-30 years. Such things as career encouragement and "take your daughter to work" programs have stressed the success of females.

There are more females than males in college now, which is not good, imho. Males are in trouble more. The lack of father figures in many homes is at crisis-levels.

I applaud Laura in this effort. We need to nurture and foster our young men so that they can function as mature men in the future. Everyone will benefit.

This is so true of the situation in England as well. So many children are growing up never knowing a father figure at home 24/7. They may visit at the weekend or a couple evenings in the week but so many do not experience real family life and those that do have a man and woman at home very often they are not both the natural parents of the children. Commitment is a dirty word and self gratification and what I want is the predominate attitude of the modern world and the next and future generations are suffering because of it. IMHO of course!!

I agree with you. I found this medical article today at JWR that really has me concerned -- http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0904/medicine.men090704.asp -- if you take a look at it, will you email me what you think about it?

The women's movement is trying to make girls and boys the same, girls can play football and boys can play with dolls.
