I agree with you Yoshie, especially in regards to (b). Why can't men take
responsibility for their own social constructions? Here in Australia we
have a charming men's magazine called <i>Men's Health</i>. I'm sure there
are similar objects in the States. Last month's amazing headliner concept
for achieving men's health was...'Bigger Biceps!!' with a photo of said
biceps on the cover. What a surprise. Why can't men's magazine's have a
new idea of health, something like:<br>
'Ten easy steps to recognising your addiction to rape'<br>
or<br>
'Is your brother abusing your daughter? How to prevent incest in your own
home'<br>
and maybe <br>
'Get those guns out of my hair!'<br>
