[...] The truth is, men have become second-class citizens.
The most obvious proof is male bashing in the media. It is rampant and irrefutable. From sit-coms and commercials that portray dad as an idiot to biased news reports about the state of American men, males are pounced on left and right. And that’s just the beginning.
The war on men actually begins in grade school, where boys are at a distinct disadvantage...

this is inaccurate
the media does not bash all men... just white men.
especially white, Christian, heterosexual, entrepreneurial men
Not as long as I’m alive. I have a daughter who loves men too. May G-d Bless Men as long as I’m alive and a 100 years after!
The only reason we’re bashed is because we’re the only people left in this society that aren’t such p*ssies that we threaten to sue or need an apology for every imagined offense, no matter how trivial or idiotic.
Bingo!
Try getting your white son into a good school when he has great grades and lacks in sports! Lesbian Theatre Freshman year with a Canadian Munchqueen! Auuggh!
We are payin’ for that crap?
Which is why I sense a show such as “Duck Dynasty” is a smash hit.
And we pay most of the taxes.
I don’t buy this line of BS...If a male is such a pansy ass that he would spent even a second worrying about this crap and joining in the long list of victims we have in America today then he better go home to mama..
“The most obvious proof is male bashing in the media.”
The most obvious proof is WHITE male bashing.
I guess men should just shrug off all the affirmative action and go work at McDonalds while they struggle to pay thier child support for the wives that divorced them?
Enjoy your chains slave.
I hear carrying them around builds up your biceps so you can flex them in everyones face and show what a real man you are.
You've got it wrong, western men are bashed because they are too P*ssy to fight back.
No biggie though, in a few generations they will be replaced by men who have the balls to assume their proper role in society.
Unfortunately they will be Muslim, but nothing is perfect is it?
Your rebuttal is profound. I bet those 'roids really helped build your brains as much as your biceps?
Imagine this scenario: You are the owner and manager of a small business, overseeing 500 workers. Let’s say that 10 of these workers are women (despite the state of affirmative action, this scenario can crop up, especially in fields such as engineering). One woman does an incompetent job, so you fire her. The woman sues you for sexual discrimination, alleging that you are sexist for not firing a proportionate number of men (49), even though all of the men were competent.
Whether or not she wins her case, you WILL be forced to spend money on court costs, and will be forced to divert your time away from your business to deal with this devil, all because “sexual discrimination” is considered a valid reason to sue someone (other idiotic reasons include “racial discrimination”, “sexual harassment”, and “equal work for equal pay” [one should be payed what is agreed upon in the contract]). The woman will probably also try to kill you, just because feminism gives her a convenient smokescreen to do so.
In this case, the “victims” are being conspired against. Don’t draw a false equivalency between conspiracy victims and the freeloaders of society. Who is really freeloading: a business owner and contributor to GDP, or a harpy demanding you pay her for doing nothing because of the Commie concept of maternity leave?
Did you read the article? Are you oblivious to the rampant discrimination of males in today’s society?
That's because you're too old to have grown up under an anti-male (especially conservative male) educational system.
Public education is nothing like you remember I'm sure. Any boy acting like a boy is told to see a doctor so he can be drugged into compliance. A boy chews a pop tart into a gun and get's suspended from school. Another boy writes a story for English class that includes images of war and it's suggested that he's mentally ill.
And then there are the studies that confirm that while boys are receiving better scores on tests, their teachers are grading them lower than the girls.
That kind of bias against boys really makes a difference, and it's been going on since the 70's.
“Are you oblivious to the rampant discrimination of males in today’s society”
Yeah I am...
and I’m oblivious to the pleas of those wimps trying to get me to buy into the Victimization Industry that is so powerful in the country today...
...and that is why we are men...not wimps and narcissists like we see all over the place...
I grew up when men did not buy into being victims. Maybe you young guys are just wimps :)
