This article is definitely thoughtful to begin with, but takes a major wrong turn at the end by insinuating that traditionalism being mocked on TV is the reason men are viewed negatively (not all great male role models are "traditionalists") and that we are failing our well educated and smart women by not providing them with good husband material.

Ultimately, that is hurting the nation’s girls and women, too.

Can men and boys ever be an issue of their own, and worthy of consideration for their own sake?

Every article in the MSM that even touches on men's rights ends talking about how it's ultimately women being harmed. I never see feminist articles ever ending with "and it's even bad for men", as that wouldn't be seen as mattering.

The writer is focusing on tv, as if that is the cause of the problem.

Man the comments on the article were really disturbing. My biggest fear is that men's rights gets co-opted as one side of a political movement, because that would be bad for the movement in general, not only would it alienate potential activists, but it would leave a political leaning on what the answers are.

the article was pretty good, at least in pointing out the problem. Kind of lame that it missed the rest of the boat on how men are constantly discriminated against in real life. And the idea that this is bad because it's letting down women was a pretty weak ending too...

Check out http://www.youtube.com/user/theignoredgender there's some great videos about misandry in the media on there.

It's so embarrassing that it's almost always a conservative that points out these blindingly obvious facts...

Men's rights movement: Equal protection under the law for all.

Feminism: Hate.

Any questions?

I see this come up all the time, and I don't get it. How are men and boys discriminated in school? I'm not trying to be an ass. I just never understood how schools want to teach women and girls more.
