My latest
column,
Duke, Media Spin New Study
to Hide Boy Crisis in Education,
appeared in the Los Angeles
Times yesterday (3/20/05).
I've written before of the
fake "girl crisis"
in education declared by
feminists in the early '90s
(see my column
Boys: The New Underclass
in American Schools
[Los Angeles Daily Journal,
San Francisco Daily Journal,
4/15/02]). Some of you may
recall a few weeks ago Duke
University released a study
on the well-being of boys
and girls. Both the
university and the numerous
news reports on it declared
that boys and girls are
faring equally.
In reality,
the study very clearly showed
that it is boys who suffer
from the "gender gap,"
not girls. The Times is
the only major metro daily
to have permitted a debunking
of Duke's "no gender
gap" claims, and is
to be commended for publishing
it. This is particularly
true considering that the
Times is currently under
siege from feminist Susan
Estrich and her coterie
of angry women for not having
enough women writers on
its opinion page (click
here and
here). To comment on
my piece
"Boys or Girls: Pick
Your Victim", write
to
letters@latimes.com
.
In the
same issue the Times also
ran a letter from Warren
Farrell on the wage gap
(couldn't find a link for
it--sorry). Warren is the
author of the new book
WHY MEN EARN MORE: The Startling
Truth Behind the Pay Gap
and What Women Can Do About
It.
Also
in the same section was
a piece from the infamous
anti-male feminist Catherine
Mackinnon called
Smut's Insidious Threat.
Mackinnon, among other things,
is noted for her view that
in American "patriarchal
society, all heterosexual
intercourse is rape because
women, as a group, are not
strong enough to give meaningful
consent."
My personal
opinion of MacKinnon can
be found in my column
The Best Valentine's Day
Gift for College Students:
Gender Reconciliation
(She Thinks, 2/13/03). She
and Andrea Dworkin are the
principal architects of
what one might politely
call "head case feminism."
Giving the Devil His Due
Hugo
Schwyzer is many things
to many people but whatever
one's opinion of him, he
certainly is gracious
and a good sport about receiving
criticism. Referring to
the hostility towards him
from my listeners, he had
the grace to write:
"One
thing I'll say for Glenn,
he sends my traffic spiking.
Last time I was on his show
in January, I went from
under 2000 unique hits a
day to just about 5000.
In recent weeks, my hits
had fallen back into the
low 2000s, but today we're
back above the 4K mark.
The only problem is that
I fear Typepad will eventually
start charging me more for
the extra bandwidth."
and
"Glenn's
fans are sending me some
pretty heavy duty stuff.
It's the insistence on personalizing
the argument that I find
a bit tiresome. On
the other hand [his] fans
worship [him]. If
Rush's folks are "dittoheads"...I'll
just call them the Sackson
Horde -- they'll like that."

Schwyzer
v. Alkon: Should Men
Have Reproductive Rights?
Nationally
syndicated advice columnist
Amy Alkon believes that
men, like women, should
have reproductive rights.
Condemning women who get
pregnant intentionally and
"turn casual sex into
cash flow sex,"
she notes:
"In
no other arena is a swindler
rewarded with a court-ordered
monthly cash settlement
paid to them by the person
they bilked...Penelope Leach,
in her book Children First,
poses an essential question:
'Why is it socially reprehensible
for a man to leave a baby
fatherless, but courageous,
even admirable, for a woman
to have a baby whom she
knows will be so?'...the
law, as written, encourages
unscrupulous women to lure
sex-dumbed men into checkbook
daddyhood."
The "Choice
for Men" movement
seeks to give unmarried
fathers the right to relinquish
their parental rights and
responsibilities within
a month of learning of a
pregnancy, just as mothers
do when they choose to give
their children up for adoption.
Feminist Gender Studies professor
Dr. Hugo Schwyzer, Ph.D
calls
Choice for Men "profoundly
offensive," explaining
that "every man who ejaculates
inside a woman, whether or
not contraception is used,
is signaling his willingness
to become a father...the only
real choice that men deserve
in this situation is whether
or not to have sex in the
first place."
