Dear Wolly B.,

Thank You for all the information that you've
provided. And I shall try to get hold of the
book you've recommended. However I need to
tell you that:

I don't like feminism (or any other issues) being
hijacked by noisy activists who often have views
which tilt towards the extreme. These extremists
have views that most people do not want to sign
up to.

Being feminist has nothing to do with sexual
orientation or discrimination of the male gender.
Feminists come from all different backgrounds and
cultures to support equality and equity in general.

Today's feminists are women and men of all walks of
life who seek to combat racism, sexism, classism,
ageism, et cetera.

Wow foxy, I believe you & I would like to think the same, but I think you are living in a different world to the rest of you Feminist mates. You must be one of the Progressive we hear about but get drowned out but the noisy Radicals. Keep up the good work. Truth will shine through one day.

Oh don't be such a crybaby WollyB!
I decided to test your theory about some sort of anti-male conspiracy in the media.

I went through the Sunday paper this morning and found the bulk of articles are about men, as usual, but mostly about their various fab sporting prowess, business success or not, and yes, about their crimes, and as victims of crimes by other men.
There were some good news stories about men, like there always is, including about rescue operations and firefighters.

I didn't see many stories about women at all, except in the society pages, dressed in revealing clothing, or as models in advertisements, and yes, as victims of crime.

Why would the media not report crimes? It has always been a fact of life that men perpetrate the bulk of of all crimes. That is just the truth. And what has any of it to do with feminism? You can't keep flogging that old horse for all the world's problems forever....

Susieonline,

I had been trying to find a letter from David Thomas author of Not Guilty in defence of the Modern Man.

Sadly I couldn't find it on line anymore.

So I came across that article so I thought it might add to the debate.

WollyB and JayB, the truth hurts.

However, you should always remember that behind all those negative stories about men you lament about in the media, are all those men's devastated female relatives and friends.

You seem to think that everything is always just about the men. Try looking at the bigger picture if you can. You may just find that women really aren't your enemies at all....
