Legal Insurrection: Book Review: Men on Strike by Dr. Helen Smith
The favorite part of the review is Leslie Eastman’s observation of the comparison between breast and prostate cancer. This is a subject I’ve done some research on but apparently not blogged on (or I’d link to it!).
A few years ago, I rejected donating to a breast cancer charity in favor of one focused on prostate cancer.
I recognized that there was a vast disparity between the funding amounts and promotion levels for the two cancers — despite the nearly equal number of deaths from each of these illnesses. Knowing men would never organize to complain, I decided to “rebel against the matriarchy” for them.
Little did I realize I was engaging in “men’s rights” activism, as outlined in Dr. Helen Smith’s new book, Men on Strike: Why Men are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream — and Why It Matters.
As they say, read the whole thing. As I say, buy the book.
