Does feminism give a much-needed voice to women in a patriarchal world? Or is the world not really patriarchal? Has feminism begun to level the playing field in a world in which women are more often paid less at work and abused at home? Or are women paid equally for the same work and not abused more at home? Does feminism support equality in education and in the military, or does it discriminate against men by ignoring such issues as male-only draft registration and boys lagging behind in school?
The only book of its kind, this volume offers a sharp, lively, and provocative debate on the impact of feminism on men. Warren Farrell--an international best-selling author and leader in both the early women's and current men's movements--praises feminism for opening options for women but criticizes it for demonizing men, distorting data, and undervaluing the family. In response, James P. Sterba--an acclaimed philosopher and ardent advocate of feminism--maintains that the feminist movement gives a long-neglected voice to women in a male-dominated world and that men are not an oppressed gender in today's America. Their wide-ranging debate covers personal issues, from love, sex, dating, and rape to domestic violence, divorce, and child custody. Farrell and Sterba also look through their contrasting lenses at systemic issues, from the school system to the criminal justice system; from the media to the military; and from health care to the workplace.
A perfect book to get students thinking and debating, Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men? A Debate is ideal for courses in gender studies, sociology, psychology, economics, feminist philosophy, and contemporary moral issues. It is also compelling reading for anyone interested in the future of men and women.

The science..., with respect to culture, ethnicity, personality, and other discriminating facets of human beings are discussed in an honest fashion, with a touch of poignant reality. The principles shared enhance communications within the home, our businesses and our communities. With increased understanding, we will appreciate ourselves better building stronger, more sustainable relationships. The book is divided in three sections which cover Discrimination, Diversity and Inclusion spanning many physical, mental and psychological traits. It is a practical reference book that is fit for every boardroom, schoolroom, meeting room and family room.

Words such as cardinal and scarlet can describe the same color but they take on markedly different meanings when we use them to consider the worth of a cardinal man or a scarlet woman. The comparison seems to conjure significantly more prejudice when we consider that a cardinal man is revered as righteous while a scarlet woman is reviled as wicked, particularly in terms of her sexual activity. In a similar way, by contrasting other pairs of words, we can see how they too invite discriminatory connotations in terms of what we value: Christian and pagan, crusade and jihad, highbrow and lowbrow, wizard and witch, right and left, white and black.

Keessen presents this playful yet scholarly study by way of a series of informal essays, arranged by chapter and topic, and in a storytellers lexicon tells us how certain notions developed.

Generously illustrated with whimsical illustrations by award winning artist Bill Hannan.

Successful entrepreneur and corporate executive turned minister, Rev. Dr. Cindi Love relates her own story along with the early success of a powerful campaign that she believes can change America.

Rev. Dr. Love narrates her personal passage from fundamentalist evangelism to founding a successful business (#73 on INC 500's 1990 list of Fastest Growing Private Companies); she tells of her experiences as a corporate executive and her ultimate entry into the ministry and leadership of a worldwide Christian denomination. She also details the inception and implementation of the Would Jesus Discriminate? Campaign and describes how the campaign encourages dialogue between people of all walks of life-from neighbor to neighbor and from secular to faith-based organizations; provides a useful frame for a political discourse in the religious context of America; and confronts the insidious harms of prejudice and discrimination, and insists that non-heterosexual people are no mere "afterthought" of God.

Part marketing study and part spiritual journey, but never professorial or preachy, Would Jesus Discriminate? the 21st Century Question asks readers to consider how the church came to (finally!) repent of offering scriptural support for various forms of oppression (slavery, segregation, the subjugation of women) and then draws a clear parallel between that history and today's focus on the issue of full inclusion for non-heterosexuals.

Rev. Dr. Love points out that Jesus, Christian Scripture's central figure, consistently welcomed individuals considered unclean by society; she argues with thoughtful, passionate conviction that Jesus didn't discriminate and neither should we.

Differentiating between aseptic and bacterial meningitis presents a difficult diagnostic challenge. Accurately ruling out bacterial meningitis may reduce unnecessary hospitalization, patient morbidity, and utilization of resources. This study applies a prediction rule previously developed in the pediatric population to an adult cohort. Methods We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients admitted to an urban community hospital in the United States between 1994 and 2007. Results One hundred eleven patients met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-two (20%) had bacterial meningitis and 89 (80%) had aseptic meningitis. The prediction rule generated a negative predictive value of 100% and a sensitivity of 100%, successfully ruling out all patients with aseptic meningitis. Conclusions: The prediction rule, previously validated in a pediatric population, was accurate in ruling out bacterial meningitis in an adult cohort. Prospective validation in an adult population is warranted.
