Men's rights. Sounds a bit odd to the ear, doesn't it? But to people like radio host Glenn Sacks, the need for pro-men campaigns is all too real.

And they're not easily explainable to young, impressionable boys.
But how much of a widespread problem is this? Are girls now getting too big a piece of the self-esteem pie? Rebecca Woolf from Girl's Gone Child wants to know, "Are boys getting a bad rap?"
What are your thoughts? Do you think boys are discriminated against?

By this point, most of you have heard about the "octomom," Nadya Suleman. The media reports that she's unpartnered, unemployed, and living at home with her folks.
