GREAT article...great site...you should check it out...

OK, so the tone is a bit harsh, and no man likes to be scolded like that, but it's real wisdom...and much as it hurts to read (and see your own behaviour castigated), I hope all of you give it some thought.

Excerpt:

Personally, I have seen enough of this crap from men to last me a lifetime. There are men out here right now, fighting an uphill battle you can’t imagine just to give you a fair shot at justice when the wife calls in the lawyers and the state to dissolve your marriage and your assets; to dissolve your life.

You don’t owe them or me anything, but you might, if you can pull your head out of your ass for five minutes, think about what you owe your sons.

Many of you who have already been destroyed by family courts are still raising your daughters to be overly entitled little princesses, and your sons to be the mules that will carry the weight for them through life, only to be discarded when they are used up.

And you are still more interested in big screens than the big picture. It’s fucking pathetic.

This chosen ignorance is fatal. Men die more frequently of all the top killer diseases than women, though women get the lions share of gender specific medical research money. Women outlive men by seven years, and though they have had a national office for women’s health for decades, we are just now hearing the first inklings that we might have one for men. It hasn’t happened yet.

Maybe you don’t give a shit if you die of heart disease or prostate cancer before you are sixty. But if you have a son, at least give him the honesty to turn to him and tell him you don’t give a shit if he does either.
