The Male Advantage

Aside from a few backhanded compliments toward the male sex, this is a men's rights article. Kudos to Men's Health for publishing it. Hopefully it will open some eyes to the issues.

"DNA analysis indicates that we are in fact descended from about twice as many women as men"

Interesting statistic which may very well be related to historical male disposability.

It also says how much influence women of the past have had on our society. With statistics like that, it's illogical to blame much of societies problems on the male gender.

Overall a kick ass article and quite in depth.

Balky feminists used to brag that "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." But the reality is that men and women need each other like fish need a school.

So, we don't need each other ?

Had some questionable points but there were some really great points and it is well written. Definitely surprised me.

Not a healthy article.

These Big Daddies turn up repeatedly in the family tree (meaning fewer total male ancestors). Meanwhile, the majority of men died childless, evolutionary dead ends.

So far this doesn't sound so good for men. But Baumeister calls it "the single most underappreciated fact about gender."

A lot of men dying childless, without a family of their own, is a horrible thing, an atrocity against men as a whole, yet this article says nothing to condemn it. Indeed, it praises it and suggests men should compete against each other.

This really doesn't represent me, either, as I have a strong desire to cooperate with and care about other good people (as well as fighting against evil). The very idea that I should somehow be polygamous and prevent other people from having a family is horrible.

That article made me blush. :#
