Momversation: Do Boys Get a Bad Rap?

nospam@example.com ()

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. After all, shirts like David & Goliath's "Boys Are Stupid. Throw Rocks at Them" are popular but are, to some, unfair and downright wrong. 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? With a history of men in the White House, do we really need to worry that boys won't believe that they can grow up to be president? Or do you think today's society sends the message that boys aren't as good as girls? Join the Momversation by commenting in our community:

What are your thoughts on Nadya Suleman? Does she deserve her public flogging? And how does this affect the way that you view fertility treatments? Should technology allow eight babies to be born at one time? Join the Momversation by commenting in our community:
