There is something wold about posting these videos before I’ve even see them—like we’re all going to make popcorn and be surprised together. I need to get our more.
Men’s rights. Sounds a bit strange to the ear, doesn’t it? But to people like radio show host Glenn Sacks, the need for pro-male campaigns is all too real. After all, shirts likedesigner David & Goliath’s “Boys Are Stupid. Throw Rocks at Them” are popular but are also, to some, unfair and downright wrong. And they’re not easily explainable to young, impressionable boys. In fact, it took me a couple of videos during filming to even get what they meant, until I looked at my own refrigerator.
- Do you think boys and girls should be parented differently?
- Have you been discriminated against in the workplace?
I think I’m still contractually bound not to talk about that last question. But the answer would be somewhere north of “Are you kidding me?”

Mindy, loved this momversation, but don’t forget about the sitcoms that make the husbands out to be stupid bumbling oafs and the wives the smart balanced invisible managers. I makes me so angry that the network writers and executives think it is okay to portray husbands/men in that matter as idiots. Only giving them a brain when they want power tools or sex.
There is a commercial right now for a major cable company with a “husband” that doesn’t know the security code for this own home because it is his MIL’s birthday. The message that commercial sends to my 9 year old is that there is always a “mommy” type figure to do it for you so just sit on the couch and watch TV. Here I am trying to build self reliance in my son, teaching him how to do laundry, cook, and clean, and the damn cable network is telling him that men don’t need to know that. GGGrrrrrr!!! I would seriously switch cable companies if the company in question didn’t have the market cornered here.

This was really good to see. Everywhere I turn the emphasis is on feminism. I really like what Rebecca had to say about the emphasis should be on humanism instead. I hate to say it, but sometimes I agree boys are stupid. Then I think about my own, and of course I don’t think that. I can get on board with the humanism.
