This is an interesting article http://www.townhall.com/columnists/kathleenparker/kp20040529.shtml but I mainly found this interesting: "What happened in Abu Ghraib is no isolated incident, no aberration," wrote Ray Blumhorst for MensNewsDaily.com. "I have little doubt that all of the females implicated at Abu Ghraib will have little trouble finding jobs in the multibillion-dollar VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) domestic violence industry, just as soon as 'American, gender feminist justice' rationalizes away all their misbehavior."

First off, the link as posted doesn't work (hint: remove the comma at the end.)

Second, I think the name of this forum is Feminism: Discuss feminist issues from a pro-feminist point of view.

The article cited does not do this, IMO.

So, to answer the question, "who has the advantage in life?" I can only answer, "the person who regurgitates the American right-wing crap in the most subversive way possible."

Well, I'd agree with about the extent of:

no longer could men be viewed as perpetual perpetrators and women as perpetual victims.

Other than that, the article is pure crap.

At the very least, we can safely say that no male soldiers ever got pregnant.

Really? Women do that all by themselves, do they?

I doubt that the men's movement -- especially the Equality for Fathers types -- are going to want to push that argument very far for very long, especially when they think through to the consequences for their custody claims.
