What happens if this makes the top ranked AMA of all time?!?!

Then it would pretty accurately reflect the majority of the content producing userbase.

A good quote, but I'm personally fond of Mencken's quote.

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."

It's one thing to dabble. It's another entirely to make a career out of it.

Men really need to start caring about each other and not just women.

A speaker I heard once brought up that part of the problem of this is that while men have begun to help women break much of the power structures that kept women down and help unshackle them from gender roles, there has been little push to help free men from the gender role of self-sacrifice in the protection of women.

Men aren't going to organize for their own equality because society still promotes that men's distress is secondary to that of women's and so men must be self-reliant and still be the protectors of their families, if not the breadwinners. It's just not as visible as women's issues because women's impacted their every day life, while men's disadvantaged gender role is only in its most visible in extreme circumstances. War, natural disasters, famine.

You should, at the very least, give Ender's Game or Ender's Shadow a stab. They're very enjoyable books and short enough you could probably knock 'em out in an afternoon or two.
