It certainly has not been in my self-interest to defend men.

Male bashing is everywhere. It would be a mistake to view the current situation as another skirmish in the war between the sexes. Women have been doing the shooting, and men have been burying their heads in the sand, hoping the bullets will miss.

When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment.

Now, since I'm a husband and father, discrimination against women isn't just political, it's personal.

There are 80 jobs in which women earn more than men - positions like financial analyst, speech-language pathologist, radiation therapist, library worker, biological technician, motion picture projectionist.

The only men who aren't in fear of women's reactions are usually men who aren't born or who are dead.

Is there discrimination against women? Yes. There's no denying that the old boys' network is alive and well. But there's also discrimination against men.
