Get Up, Stand Up!
BY MICHAEL COREN ,QMI AGENCY An excerpt from THIS article: http://www.torontosun.com/2014/05/08/its-time-to-stand-up-for-mens-rights What I encountered was evidence of a campaign to discredit men and a legal and sociological campaign to remove their rights as husbands and partners and, in particular, fathers.

The World’s Toughest Job
Here is a different take on that silly viral video that was an advertisement for greeting cards…a thing that I DETEST anyway.
Motherhood is NOT the most difficult job. It’s not even a job. Neither is fatherhood. The thing is, parenting is not a job at all. It has some things in common with a job, but it’s a whole different thing altogether. As parents, we don’t get paid, we can’t quit if we get angry or pissed off, we can’t look around for better parenting jobs, we can’t sue our employer. In fact, we don’t even have an employer! We don’t have the option of not taking our work home with us when we don’t want to, we don’t receive any training, etc.
So to start with, the whole idea of parenthood being a job is nonsense from the beginning. Then, to go on and on with exaggerating the amount of work and expertise needed to be a parent, it not only creates guilt on the part of parents, it also makes it seem like the best parents are the ones who treat their kids as helpless and endangered for as long as possible. The quicker we raise self-sufficient, self-reliant human beings, the better. It is better for parents, better for children and better for society in general.
I can see through the nonsense of bullshit advertisement schemes and I hope that you do too in the future.

Hank Azaria, Kevin Bacon and Bryan Cranston on fatherhood
Celebrity dads including Kevin Bacon, Bryan Cranston and Mike Myers open up to Hank Azaria as he quizzes them about fatherhood in this candid documentary series.
It’s not often you’ll see Hollywood personalities speaking so openly and honestly about such an intimate subject, but Hank ‘s frank questioning encourages his friends to speak from the heart.
Hank is best known for his work on The Simpsons. He provides the voices for Moe, Apu, Chief Wiggum and Comic Book Guy.
Although his work is loved by children the world over, Hank had never seen the appeal of having kids of his own. He’d reached an age when many of his friends had started families and so he set out to make a documentary about what makes someone want to be a father.
But in the process of filming Hank’s girlfriend discovers she is pregnant causing Hank to rethink the documentary and turn it into a very personal and touching record of his journey into fatherhood, as he seeks advice from his famous friends.
Feminism 2.0
She needs to remove the label “feminism” and just call it something else. The word feminism has been too tainted and still is associated with people who only care about women. It has very little if anything to do with equality. If it did, feminism would do their best with updating domestic relations law and reforming family courts all across America.
And what is the deal with men needing to be civilized? That needs further explanation:
We hear it all the time: “America is patriarchal!”, “American women are oppressed!”. Well, a lifelong feminist and former National Organization for Women member, Tammy Bruce, is tired of hearing it–and she has a solution laid out in our newest video: Feminism 2.0. One that tells women that they should be proud to act feminine. One that tells them that simply copying men and masculine traits is actually demeaning to women. One that honors all responsible choices, including becoming a wife and mother.
