                  Men must stand up


                  Quite frankly the behavior of some women has
                  gotten out of hand, and it's because we men
                  have become cowards and wimps. The more
                  men take of double-standards, ridiculous
                  demands and just plain nonsense, the more
                  these women are going to give.

                  You say, "What do you have against the fairer
                  sex, Williams?" I say nothing. While some of my
                  best friends are women, I'm getting tired of all
                  the sex-based nonsense. Let's look at it.

                  On "Today" show last November, Katie Couric
                  suddenly deviated from her perkiness and
                  asked a jilted bride, in reference to the groom
                  who jilted her, "Have you considered castration
                  as an option?" There was no storm of protest,
                  and perky Katie remains on NBC's payroll. Fred
                  Hayward, a men's rights organizer, told U.S.
                  News & World Report writer, John Leo,
                  "Imagine the reaction if Matt Lauer had asked a
                  jilted groom, 'Wouldn't you just like to rip her
                  uterus out?'" Matt Lauer would have been
                  handed his walking papers.

                  Leo reports that up until recently the 3M
                  company put out post-it notes with the printed
                  message: "Men have only two faults: everything
                  they say and everything they do." Hallmark
                  went further with a greeting card that said, "Men
                  are scum ... Excuse me. For a second there I was
                  feeling generous." Then there was the American
                  Greeting Cards ad that says on the front: "Men
                  are always whining about how we are
                  suffocating them," with the inside punch line,
                  "Personally, I think if you can hear them
                  whining, you're not pressing hard enough on
                  the pillow." What do you think would happen if
                  a company had an ad that joked about killing
                  women?

                  Young boys aren't spared from the feminist
                  attack. At a Boston area elementary school,
                  nobody objected when girls wore shirts
                  emblazoned with "Girls Rule" or when they
                  taunted boys with a chant that goes, "Boys go to
                  Jupiter to get more stupider; girls go to college
                  to get more knowledge." But when boys donned
                  shirts emblazoned with "Boys Are Good," there
                  was protest. One of the teachers protesting
                  sported a button saying, "So many men, so little
                  intelligence."

                  Women can get away with saying just about
                  anything demeaning, evil and harassing to men,
                  while men get into trouble for making the most
                  innocent compliment. That happened to Seth
                  Shaw, a counselor at an elementary school in
                  Fort Worth, Texas. He said, "Hello,
                  good-looking," to a new female employee, was
                  charged with sexual harassment and wound up
                  suffering a 20-day suspension without pay.

                  Leo's Aug. 21 U.S. News & World Report article
                  suggests that all of this can get worse if foreign
                  feminist demands reach our shores. Young
                  women in Sweden, Germany and Australia have
                  launched a new cause: They want men to sit
                  down while urinating. Part of their demand is
                  related to the "splash factor," but more crucially,
                  men standing up to urinate is deemed by these
                  women as triumphing in their masculinity, "a
                  nasty macho gesture" and by extension
                  degrading to women. Feminists at Stockholm
                  University are campaigning to ban campus
                  urinals and one Swedish elementary school has
                  already removed urinals. I don't know about
                  you, but, if I don't tell women to stand up to
                  urinate, they're not going to tell me to sit down
                  to urinate.

                  The bottom line is that we men had better stand
                  up to these feminist wackos before our last
                  resort will be well-deserved spankings.
