I love men. I'm the daughter, granddaughter, sister, and wife of men. Someday I may be the mother of a son. But I also happen to think syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker is a joke. Instead of writing about any of the serious and real policy issues at hand, Parker is using her column to push premises like:
1) Health research is biased toward women, to the detriment of men's health.
2) Women and men are locked in an "us vs. them" battle for both biological survival and social domination.
and 3) Most societal ills - from environmental pollutants to prostate cancer to pink kitchen appliances - come down to a ruthless male vs. female scramble for power. And the guys are losing, big time.
Thankfully, Carol Lloyd deconstructs Parker's boy-crazy political theatre in the June 11 edition of Broadsheet on Salon.com. Praise be to Carol for saying it so well.
