INTERESTING MAY 2002 STORIES


Menstuff® reports here on interesting articles appearing in May periodicals. A click on the photo will often provide a larger photo or additional information regarding the topic. See previous months above.

A variety of current information is also available: Mediawatch, 2002 provides reviews the media's portrayal of men in advertising and the media. See 2001, also. For an index of these and additional stories, see 2002 and 2001. What's New provides weekly updates of additions to the web site including the latest issues, which are also included in Newsbytes (see table above).

After reviewing some of these topics, we encourage you to write the corporations and the government and give them your viewpoint. Action of the Week selects a particular action to take for the week. Change doesn't usually take place when only one complaint is received. If you want to be part of the solution, let them hear from you! Here's how.

REMEMBERING & FORGETTING


It's ironic. Over the years, every man accumulates a large number of things he'd like to forget but can't, yet over the years, particularly in his advancing years, every man forgets things he'd like to remember. Harvard Men's Health Watch, 5/02

HEPATITIS C - THE STEALTH VIRUS


Three to 4 million Americans may be carrying a postcard from their past and not even know it.

Newsweek, 4/22/02.

TV PROMOTING THE JOYS OF ALCOHOLISM


Back in 1948 (only 15 years after Prohibition), the liquor industry volunteered to discontinue advertising on television. Thanks to Joseph Seagram & Sons, that ban was broken in 1996 when they started running advertising on a Texas (guess who was governor) cable TV station.

WHADDAYA KNOW?


In 1971, the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution ensured that everyone may vote at 18, the age that made men fodder for the draft at the time. Still, adulthood varies by state: 21 in Mississippi, and 19 in Alabama. In most states you may legally have sex before you can legally have a drink. Stuff, 5/02.

ROOTING OUT HATE
