Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them

A company in the USA has grown to US$100m turnover selling T-shirts with anti-boys slogans like "Boys tell lies, poke them in the eyes!" and "The stupid factory, where boys are made." Todd Goldman started David and Goliath Inc. in 1999 to sell "Boys are Smelly" T-shirts. Thr "Boys are stupid..." merchandise, which includes clothes, mugs, key chains, posters, and a book with the same title. A campaign by men's rights activists boosted sales. Los Angeles radio host Glenn Sacks - a men's rights activist - launched a campaign against the shirts two years ago, claiming they are part of a mood in society to victimize boys. The T-shirts have been described as "hate speech". Several retailers, covering 3000 retail outlets, have removed the shirts. Womens' rights activists do not support the campaign against the T-shirts, agreeing with Mr Goldman that they are merely humorous. But they're not. The are selling like hot cakes - which means there is a lot of built-up anger against males that expresses itself in sales of t-shirts and merchandise. Generations of patriarchal stupidity hsa left a reservoir of resentment for men.

EXTRACT FROM "Man Overboard"

Women today have the whip hand – they decide when the marriage isn’t working, they decide when you’ll have sex, they decide most things… you just keep your head down and keep working to pay for it all.

[Insurance is like marriage. You pay, pay, pay, and you never get anything back. - Al Bundy, Married with Children ]

Men are on the back foot. Look at this short list of proofs:

• The media takes the feminist line that men are the problem.
• The courts assume men are the problem.
• Teachers have convinced themselves boys are dumber than girls. And boys live up (or down) to their expectations.
• Advertising agencies make fun of men in their ads to appeal to women buyers.
• Women convince their children that he is the problem.

It’s time men got back on the front foot. We need to win back the respect that used to be a man’s right as husband and father. We need to restore men to their place in the family. But we can only do that by convincing our wives that we deserve that respect.

You can’t force people to feel or think the way you want them to. The great expert on human nature, Dale Carnegie taught that you have to inspire them to change the way they think and feel. This book gives you a strategy for inspiring your woman to love and respect you again.
