More on Man Bashing

Interestingly enough, after yesterday's post, this link is featured on today's edition of Front Page Magazine.

Discover the Network, David Horowitz's new and controversial website that documents left wing activists and sympathizers, profiles the National Women's Law Center. Among the items on their agenda are:

• Support of Title IX requirements that mandate women's sports programs getting equal financial support as men's programs (even if the demand isn't there): Title IX has forced many schools to purge, for financial reasons, some of their male squads, with football and certain Olympic category sports often being the first to be eliminated. UCLA, for example, was forced to eliminate its men's swim team, which had produced a number of U.S. Olympic medal-winning swimmers.

• A desire to interpret sexual harassment more broadly, which would mean a woman could pretty much point her finger to any guy who "offended" her and call it harassment. Really, ladies...if you want to get equal treatment, you can't go around crying "harassment" at every turn if you want to be taken seriously. I'm not saying that your boss expecting sexual favors for either promotion or continued imployment is acceptable...far from it! But if you can't take an off-color joke or two, maybe you should just throw in the towel and go home to garden and knit.

• A repeal of all laws that exempt women from combat duty, even though it's likely that having women in combat would compromise the effectiveness of the military. But military effectiveness is less important than the hurt feelings of feminists who are determined to overturn any hint of patriarchy.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Read the profile yourself.
