By starving our children of men, we have made them more vulnerable to the very abuse we are trying to prevent.
The 'enduring theme' [in fiction] of male competition and female competition for the herosurvivor has taken us from the fittest surviving to the brink of no one surviving. Sex roles have gone from functional to dysfunctional almost overnight. This is why the enduring theme must be questioned now.
When men in relationships have more money, we say they have the power. When women in relationships have more money, we say they are being used.

Humans tend to start the process of change by acknowledging themselves. Thus blacks asserted black pride and 'black is beautiful;' women declared 'I am woman, I am strong'; men are saying 'I am man, I am okay. ' After a quarter of a century of male bashing, that's not a bad start.

If a female employee is offended, a boss would like her to tell him, not sue him.
At this moment in history, millions of 'working dads' are desiring to do what they do not feel they have the right to do: be more devoted as a dad, less devoted as a worker. This feeling is far more ubiquitous among men executives than women executives in many areas of the world because, for instance, Asia-Pacific women executives today are more than six times as likely to not have children than men executives are.
