Unfair prejudice

Men are increasingly facing discrimination in a society which is leaning heavily towards women. Is it fair to expect men to be the bread earners? To be forced to play the role of a wage earner?All serious research into domestic violence shows men too are victims almost as often as women are. Equal pay for equal work but when it comes to paying taxes women get to pay less for the same pay and same work than their male counterparts.

Finally a woman can cry at the drop of a hat but a man whose upper lip quivers, trembles or gives way is looked down upon by society and is called a sissy, an emotional fool. And the final irony, my friend, is that this is called a man's world!!!
