I’m not a huge fan of Dilbert, but I do tend to love Scott Adams’ prose writing. His blog isn’t just funny – it’s also reliably smart and insightful.
Early this week, he wrote about Men’s Rights:
According to my readers, examples of unfair treatment of men include many elements of the legal system, the military draft in some cases, the lower life expectancies of men, the higher suicide rates for men, circumcision, and the growing number of government agencies that are primarily for women.
You might add to this list the entire area of manners. We take for granted that men should hold doors for women, and women should be served first in restaurants. Can you even imagine that situation in reverse?

Now I would like to speak directly to my male readers who feel unjustly treated by the widespread suppression of men’s rights:
Get over it, you bunch of pussies.
The piece caused enough of an uproar that he pulled it 24 hours later; fortunately, Google still has it cached, as it’s definitely worth the read.
