Sorry,Bryan, very early in the morning here.
I should have said about sharing details of similar websites.

No, Bryan, just trying to bring an end to the bickering and the childish behaviour.
It has all become quite boring by now, and other users will have to be considered.
That squabble should now be terminated, and we should get back to the real purpose of the article.
There is an excellent opportunity here to share details of free ebook sites.
Let’s get back to that, and leave the unpleasantness behind.

Guy, it seems to me that the few people that continue to make negative comments about your article, obviously have no life, and have never heard of the cliche, “kicking a dead horse”, in the meantime, those of us who appreciate you, eagerly await your next gem, thank you once again, and sorry you have to put up with morons.

What kind of feminism are *you* talking about? The kind of feminism *I’m* talking about recognizes that sexism hurts women *and* men. Examples:

Men are more likely to commit violent crime (and go to jail for them) because our culture to often associates masculinity with violence and brute force. Mainstream feminism says that we should be teaching our sons that being a man does not mean proving your masculinity with violence.

Men pay more taxes because in general, men earn more than women. Mainstream feminism says that this is wrong. Women should have the same opportunities for the same jobs and the same pay that men have – which would mean more pay, more income tax, and also more opportunities to save their money.

Men are more likely to be mutilated at birth because of the ridiculous idea that male circumcision is necessary. Mainstream feminism says that circumcision is no more necessary for boys than it is for girls, and should not be something that is routinely practiced as it is now.

Men are more likely to join the military and be conscripted because we are told that women can’t handle military service. In mainstream feminism you will hear the realities of war being discuss *before* the war, as well as support for putting female soldiers on the front lines and letting them share the dangerous jobs. There’s also the appalling trend of sexual assault in the military which no doubt is discouraging many women from joining, but that’s another matter.

Men are more likely to be killed in accidents and leave their families for work because in our culture, jobs that are dangerous or have longer hours are more likely to be occupied by men, whereas it has traditionally been the role of women to take a part-time job (if she takes a job at all) to take care of the kids. Mainstream feminism says that it should be just as acceptable for men and women to spend equal time at work and equally share childcare and household duties, and that women should not be barred or discouraged from taking dangerous jobs because of their gender.

I think you’re probably thinking of the radical second-wave feminism of the 1960s, which has largely fallen by the wayside and is not what I’m talking about at all. I suggest http://finallyfeminism101.wordpress.com/ as a starting point.
