Dove spent an estimated $2,500,000 in the Super Bowl to
promote a self-esteem program for your girls who might think
they should be thinner, prettier, even blond. Did they miss
a BIG opportunity by ignoring fathers?

The January, 2006 issue of Car and Driver had a story at
the back of the bus, I mean back of the issue called Fast
Women: Racing's raciest women and where to meet
them. Take a number - no crowding. Written by a
somewhat sexiest Ted West, it did cover almost six pages
which included 1+ pages of ads, and 21 pictures.

The October, 2005 issue of Reader's Digest headlines
The Secret Lives of Men: What they think, feel and
hide. It starts on page 101 and goes straight through page
121. There's the introduction followed by Big Boys Don't
Cry: And other myths about men and emotions; then "I
Love You Man!" The nuts and bolts of male friendship.
Next is A Winning Friendship: Four teammates and
the bond that helped make them champions. And finally, My
Big Fat Greek Life: He lost it all - and gained much
more. In true Reader's Digest style, it takes these
four hugh topics and does their 'Clif Notes' version in 20
pages. The good news. There wasn't one single ad throughout
those 20 pages.

MURDERBALL: WHEN MEN COME HOME FROM WAR
|
Winner of the Documentary Audience Award and a Special Jury
Prize for Editing at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, this
is a film about quadriplegics who play full-contact rugby in
Mad Max-style wheelchairs - overcoming unimaginable
obstacles to compete in the Paralympic Games in Athens,
Greece. It's intense action, foul language and quad sex. To
this reviewer, the trailer left an impression that it was a
violent movie. And, while there are a few intense scenes, I
had actually hoped for more about strategy and how the game
is played, what goes on on the rest of the court besides
around the goal.

MULTITASKING: IT DOESN'T WORK
|
Reading e-mail, sorting data and talking on the phone at
once - multitasking clearly saves time in a fast-paced
world. Or does it? Anybody who expects to get ahead today
better master the art of multitasking, right? A recent
study of employees by the Families and Work Institute in New
York City finds that some 45 percent of U.S. workers believe
they are asked or expected to work on too many tasks at
once.

SOCIAL SECURITY: THE FAKE CRISIS
|
To save Social Security, Bush wants to destroy it. And, in
doing so, it would require the government to borrow at least
$2 trillion to make up the immediate shortfall. However, the
Social Security System is not only solvent, it's in much
better shape than the rest of the federal government. "The
people who hustled America into a tax cut to eliminate an
imaginary budget surplus and a war to eliminate imaginary
weapons" Paul Krugman wrote recently, "are now trying
another bum's rush."

There is an epidemic of brain injuries annually that are
caused by head trauma from preventable accidents. Each year
1.5 to 2 million Americans have traumatic brain injuries. Of
this number, 50,000 die, and 90,000 experience long-term
disability. Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of
death and disability in people youger than 45. The highest
risk occurs between ages 15 and 25, with the rates for males
2 to 3 times the rates for females. Currently at least 5.3
million Americans - a little more than % of the
US population - are living with disabililties resulting
from brain injury.

HARRY POTTER PROMOTES RELATIONAL VIOLENCE
|
There's a scene in the Prisoner of Azkaban that is expected
to find the viewers cheering. (It's also repeated in a
flash-back later in the movie.) It's where one of the
Slytherin girls makes a sneeringly vicious insult towards
Ron, and he hauls off and slugs her.

The movie Jersey Girl has got mixed reviews.
. Frankly, I don't think they've asked any fathers what
they think. Especially fathers raising daughters. But, it
wouldn't take much for any father to transpose the situation
to their own life. Try this on for size.

BINGE EATING DISORDER -
IN MEN?

Some men are eating 3,000 calories rapidly, in one sitting
- more than once a week. They are some of the 2 million plus
males who suffer from binge eating disorder. The Premier

HAZING: A HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY
|
Hazing is often winked at as a benign initiation ritual,
but it has a tendency to spiral out of control, as it did in
the horrific events at Long Island's Mepham High.
A 6'2", 245-pound senior sat on a 145-pound jayvee
player while a hulking junior linebacker pulled down the
player's shorts, dipped a broomstick in Mineral Ice - an
ointment that burns when applied to sensitive skin - and
forcibly sodomized him. They sodomized three players at
least 10 times.

A homophobe hates others simply because of their
sexual orientation. You can usually spot them mouthing off
about "deviant lifestyles" and how same-sex couples
shouldn't be granted the same rights that other couples
enjoy. Not a fun bunch! But there is an even more
insidious group, those who are too cowardly to admit their
narrow-minded prejudices, or worse, aren't even aware that
they have them! Use these examples to "out" some...

Just drop it. Imagine carrying around a heavy burden that
burns you up but you refuse to let it go. Sounds
silly? Well, it's something we all do whenever we hang
on to resentment - no matter how "justified." In the
September-November issue of IONS, words of wisdom are
offered by four specialists in "forgiveness".

If that porn star next to the keg is coming on to you,
beware: two minutes of fun could ruin your life.
Rolling Stone's September 18, 2003 issue does an
expose on Shane's World, a porn film company from Van Nuys,
California, that gets college kids drunk and films them in
very compromising sexual situations. UC Santa Barbara,
Indiana University and Arizona State University have been
the initial targets.

The following is not about blaming feminists for the
outcome described in the various articles below (except
those who knew that they were creating a "noble lie*" and
the myth that resulted - that school shortchange girls). It
is about holding the educational system and government
responsible from here on out with the equality of quality
education of girls and boys, now that we know that it
is a myth.
