I don't think that either of these things are "anti-male" in any way. I'd think that everyone, including guys, would be in favor of combating domestic abuse and breast cancer.

As for the story, I do agree that men get the short end of the stick in a divorce and that parents, both moms and dads, have been known to manipulate kids to get back at their ex.

They are sexist. They are a sexist organization. By word and deed.

I will let the product of their work and funding speak for them. "Breaking the Silence" is their product.

Here - I'll change a few words for you -

I have an organization that only:

1.) funds research into Male health issues.
2.) Funds males who are victims of an epidemic of judicial stupidity.

Would the media give the motives of this fictitious organization the same lack of notice?

And by the way - men do not get "the short end of the stick" - they get royally screwed by the legal system.

Your position is what they want you to think - "everyone should be against domestic abuse and breast cancer". (Of course everyone is against those things.) Then they use the money to lobby into research of women's health issues ONLY. (Which might make sense - if women didn't already outlive men by roughly 10%)(My question for you - whose health needs more research? The group living to 72, or those living to 78?). They use the money to promote an agenda and produce propaganda that vilifies males. Don't take my word for it - look at what they did.

Sexism is wrong.

I completely agree. I am against wife beaters, not men in general. I love men and have had many wonderful men in my life (my dad, my male relatives, my current husband coworkers), but I am against domestic violence and know it exists, both because I have experienced it and I have had friends that have also. Too many people think DV awareness is anti-male propaganda.
