Dr. Helen linked to this interesting video. The thesis is that "men" do not exist, unless they are doing something bad. When something good is done it's done by "firefighters", "soldiers" or other neutered "individuals". When a guy does something wrong he's not referred to as a "person" or "individual", but clearly as a derided male.
In addition, victims are always "women and children", never "men".
Steve Says: I saw this too. While I think a lot of it is pretty goofy, I think that this sort of analysis, with genders reversed, is typical of what you might find in Women's Studies courses at our universities. I wonder how Women's Studies professors would respond.
