Yes, the creator of Dilbert has posted a long whining screed about how OMG OPPRESSED! the poor menfolk are. Link to commentary below, with various gems like the following:

"The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It's just easier

I know, I just read this at Gin's LJ.

... well, so much for me ever wanting to read his comic strip again, much less buy any tie-in merchandise. I just can't support that level of misogynistic stupidity.

This. I wonder how many readers this will cost him.

"...Men's Rights Activists..."

Oh, hell.

"I realize I might take some heat for lumping women, children and the mentally handicapped in the same group. So I want to be perfectly clear. I'm not saying women are similar to either group. I'm saying that a man's best strategy for dealing with each group is disturbingly similar."

Patronizing and offensive, got it.

I don't think I want him near any woman, child, or mentally-handicapped person anywhere.

Add to our list of inequities the fact that women have overtaken men in college attendance. If the situation were reversed it would be considered a national emergency.

... the fuck is he talking about??

*calls the waaaahmbulance for him*

Ok, crowdog I'm going to disagree with you(haven't read his full thing, just that sentence above). That sentence is not women hating. Yeah he could have put it better, but frankly, it's true.

Women making .80 cents to a mans dollar isn't something most men or working men are going to bother to argue about. It's not worth the your an blankety blank if you disagree or point out stuff.

I actually had this debate with my hubby once. He took the wind out of my sails by pointing out that women take tiem out to have babies, sometimes years. Men usually don't. That .80 cents to a dollar may have something to do wtih that.

Mind you, I wanted to bean him with something, but yeah.

The manboobz post btw proves Scotts point.

I know many many many male friends of many religious and political persuasions(and no I don't mean in a biblical way:) )and pretty much, if they are honest, that is what they'll say. Some better than others.
