Back to the theme of the article.
Chatting with some friends overseas, International Men's Day does seem to be undeveloped and misunderstood in Australia, which is rather surprising given the potential benefit for men and boys and for society generally that could come from its observance. I was directed to these charming videos and an article which I did realise were available: videos http://www.international-mens-day.com/page4.php article http://www.international-mens-day.com/Dr_Warren_Farrell.php It's all good, more information never hurt anyone. It is pleasing to see women and families participating overseas, but it does raise the question why Australian leaders and editors are apparently so uninterested. Anyhow, it was good to hear some men speak about themselves. Posted by Cornflower, Saturday, 20 November 2010 5:34:16 PM

'NOT ALL MEN ARE BAD': In Orlando, Soweto, South Africa, thousands of men gathered on International Men's Day to promote gender equality and to refute the stereotypical notion that all men are dogs and bad people.
Hahahaha.... "A good man is someone who respects other people… and who respect woman as well…” Hahahaha... “Real men do not abuse women, real men do not mistreat children”. Hahahaha... I think I wet myself. Corny those vids were terrible, I think you just set the mens agenda back a decade. I haven't laughed so much in ages... How could you do this to men? It must be a huge comfort to all the perfectly normal lovely men in the world that they aren't really dogs. And the indian chicks dancing while the dude rushes around trying to give them water... Hahahaha... Posted by The Pied Piper, Saturday, 20 November 2010 6:58:16 PM

Sounds like men feeling sorry for themselves.We have created our own cesspool of avarice.So don't complain when it all turns sour.

Who are the white ribbon crowd?
Anti:”The intelligence of the women involved has not been tested, but obviously it can't be too high if their kids end up in your care.”
Yes yes, every single time an American college couple splits up they remove the children and place them in my home. [Sigh]
I read your post out to the man of the house, he rolled his eyes. This amazing man that cares for other fathers’ children and last tax year paid his $17,850 plus 38c for each $1 over $80,000.
This is the support you give him? :)
We do not profit from children coming into our care Anti. The opportunity is there to profit if we fostered through an NGO but we refuse to work for them because we have seen that privatizing foster care harms children
