I work for a major research university – any kind of lawsuit about discrimination would probably get you blackballed from working at other institutions.

I’m a staff member in the Library, which has slightly more men than women. About 2/3rds of the management and supervisory positions are held by women.

My own boss has gone on in staff meetings about how more women need to be promoted at the university, has given special training opportunities to women on staff not available to male staff members and has consistently told male staff members that they have no opportunity for advancement (”the job is what it is”).

I’m leaving academia altogether – this kind of reverse discrimination is not uncommon, particularly in areas of higher ed that have traditionally had a higher ratio of female staff members.

I am in a wheelchair for the past 24 years. I work in a telemarketing co. Owner is a ma and I am in the front office. Three men are packing orders. Over the years i have beome a floater, so I can do any position in the company. Our Sales Manger quit so I had to replace him @ .33% commission. A woman sales rep sandbagged the dept. ccrying because she thought she should manage the office and soon she took over a 1% ? Things did pick up but quote like “He did not have any balls” and “If you want to get antwhere here you hve to have a dick.” I do not have many options to find a new job and nothing was done when I told my employer.

Yes, the war against men (at first only white males over 21 began some years ago, around 1968-69 as I recall) is on and it aint going nowhere any time soon.
68′ was when you found yourself at a party and the nice girl from your class sitting next to you would come on to you and then trap you with leading questions so she could accuse you of being a sexist.
It would be simple to explain if this trend was merely started by ugly, fat female rejects that were out to target white males, but the situation was much more complicated.
So, now it’s 2008, amnesty for illegal aliens is not only on the table, it’s on the way. Micro-chipping of “migrant” workers, senior citizens, company workers and American children for their “safety and security” is being touted by both of our presidential hopefuls, (neither of whom are reported as being American citizens)a super highway is about to divide the United States up into a North American Union and facilitate the end of the American Constitution, and nobody in poo-litics or the media will admit the evidence disproving the government’s official 9/11 report.
In a few words, we’re screwed. Since the wimpy ones are literally begging to be implanted with RFID’s and since most of our population can neither read English or is sober enough to understand even the most simple writing, the New World Order is merilly moving along toward its ultimate goal.
Thus, males of all colors, shapes, ages and religions in the workplace, don’t stress over why you are being treated like third class citizens, for that is what we are about to officially become in a country we will probably still foolishly refer to as America.

Good luck, & God bless America as well as all the others in this world who could use a fair deal from the top of the deck for a change.

Without an articulate challenger such as Mary Jackson to take on the role of devil’s advocate, Helen’s articles would become nothing more than completely dominated by the circle-jerk mentality.

Either there are not enough women readers of PajamasMedia or they’ve been chased away by the above.

It’s good to see at least one woman take on challenge and do it superbly.

I said “falsely accused person”, Mary.

Falsely accused people are innocent, by definition. Even men …for now.

Mark – no, it doesn’t mean that he is “innocent”; it means that the case has not been proven. If the 5% conviction rate proved innocence, that would mean that women were making it up in 95% of cases.

Not even you, not even the commenters on this thread, and not even Mac Donald thinks that.

Mac,

“If indeed she is your co-blogger, you need to take whatever steps are necessary to dump her since to allow her continued presence without some form of serious rebuke impugns your own credibility.”

I am not sure what is meant by Ms. Jackson being a “co-blogger.” I am assuming that the commenter who made that remark means that she writes columns for Pajamas Media. Ms. Jackson is free to write wherever she wants or for whomever wants to take her. She has no association with me or with my blog in anyway, however. And from the content of her comments, it should be easy to discern that.
