Helen Smith is egregious wrong on many points here. First, American Society is no more anti-male today than it has ever been, and in fact is still an obviously patriarchical leaning society. But if men truly believed in being "responsible" people, they would stop impregnating women and leaving them high and dry. If men want something more, they should strive to be better human beings. And stop taking rights away from others. Unsophisticated and angry men in power are the reason America is falling behind even the worst third world countries in terms of human rights now. These men are irresponsible nitwits, and tend toward fascist behavior. THAT'S far more troubling than men going on strike in any way, shape, or form.
