Even the doctor's office is a threatening place for men, he says. The receptionist and nurse are mostly women

Um, guys like being around women. Well, most of them, that is.

A life lived without self-indulgence, stupidity and violence is a life not worth living.

Let the ladies enjoy their extra seven years.

Boys see crap like this in the newspaper and they believe it. It either angers them, or it makes them believe that society approves of ridiculing and blaming men even for their own deaths.

This is not the right message to be sending to a developing young mind. We are going to pay dearly in coming years for allowing feminist bigots to hijack our media to deliver messages like this to children.

Heh heh heh.... ;>)

Women may live longer, but usually in poorer health than a man of the same age.

"With the advent of sperm banks . . . it is reasonable to wonder about the future role of men in society,"

The future role of men in society? Providing snuggles, killing spiders, mowing the lawn, driving on snow and ice, moving furniture, bringing terrorists to justice, and paying the bills with a 60% higher paycheck.

Alert the media when sperm banks can do any of that.

They start and wage wars, drink too much and stupidly accept risks ranging from fast cars to sexually transmitted diseases.

Luckily, women don't get sexually transmited diseases. Is the author an idiot?

Men can become housebound for fear people will see them. They can seek needless surgery or take dangerous steroids to bulk up. They sometimes commit suicide.

Godd thing women don't commit suicide, eat strange diets, or become agoraphobic! Is the author just bashing men?

"Body image isn't just a woman's problem," she says. Forty-three per cent of American men are dissatisfied with the way they look, three times the number found 25 years ago.

Good thing women don't have any body image issues that might drive them to bulimia or anorexia! Wonder what their percentage of body dissatisfaction is compared to 25 years ago, when most models were natural sized, as compared to the bony skeletons that grace fashion shows today? What? The author didn't bother to tell us? I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

Beyond junk science, this is merely ranting cant. First they say Despite having had most of the social determinants of health in their favour... then they spend the rest of the article detailing the social determinants that appear categorically to deny that first thesis.

The rock-bottom fact is that there is, and always has been, a significant disparity in human longevity between the two sexes. The tendency of modern liberal arts to propound that the difference between the sexes - "genders," if you please - is merely a social construct is an utterly intellectually bankrupt position; its persistence is a political artifact that flies in the face of reality. I have an earth-shaking proposition here - men and women are physically different. This is a new idea, I know, and please don't ask for references on it, but if you see differences in social behavior, health, size, longevity...trust me, it's a sign that men and women are physically different. Oh, I know many on FR will scoff...

Gonna git me a grant to check it out. What the heck, somebody is getting paid to write up "A Sexual Tour of Thailand," and I want my piece of the pie...er, so to speak...

Much of the blame is pinned on men's behaviour. They start and wage wars, drink too much and stupidly accept risks ranging from fast cars

Men do seem to be most of the Darwin Award winners.

Considering the crappy treatment I received today at the doctor's office, I can peg at least one reason why men hate going to doctors. My time is valuable (at least to me), and an hour after my scheduled appointment was to begin (the first of the day for this particular doctor), I was still sitting in the waiting room. Any doctor who wants my business can show me at least a modicum of respect, thank you very much.

"They start and wage wars, drink too much and stupidly accept risks ranging from fast cars to sexually transmitted diseases. "

If anyone here doesn't recognize this as the language of bigotry and hate... then imagine that "They" refers to blacks, Irish Catholics, Peurto Ricans, Southerners, Serbians, or even a specific male group like soldiers or Marines. Men are just evil... the source of all the world's grief. Violent, drunken, sexual predators who are interested only in a good time... the lot of them - even the heroes of the FDNY and NYPD. This is the constant drumbeat of the media. Your kids are also getting this in public and even some parochial schools - day in, day out.

Ya wanna win War2K? Intervene and erase this crap from your kids lives - challenge it wherever you encounter it before the USA becomes just a larger version of France, complete with resident conqueror.

Don't say you weren't warned.
