Comment Re:Feminization of childhood (Score 0) 336

femtobyte's response to your comment has prompted me to ask whether or not you are aware of the growing Men's Rights Movement (MRM)?

It's definitely something you should learn about.
  - Did you know that despite men having shorter life expectancies, more is spent on women's health?
  - Did you know that over 80% of workplace deaths are male?
  - Did you know that men work longer hours than women and take fewer sick days?
  - Did you know that males are the overwhelming victims of assaults and violence?

Not sure if you're on Twitter, but consider following these accounts:

@equalitycanada

This scholar (a woman) writes extensively on the "feminization" of schools, and how it adversely affects boys:

@CHSommers

Of course, these are just a very small handful of accounts to get you started.

Now, I will readily admit that women face discrimination in society; only a fool would deny this.
However what the Men's Rights Movement is attempting to do is raise awareness of the significant discrimination that men and boys confront; something about which not many people know about.

Here's another reason why Microsoft should have retained the Win 7 interface in Win 8:

-> the torrent of complaints of people (read: consumers) wishing for this

I include myself in that pool.
Come January 2015, when mainstream support of Win 7 ends, I will give serious consideration to making Linux the host, and Windows the guest. (It's currently the other way around.)

Microsoft is deliberately shooting themselves in the foot; they deserve the consequences.
