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?
