<p class="MsoNormal">"What we're trying to do at Proste Cancer Canada...is to get people interested in the disease, get men interested in their own health, interested in their own prostate health, at the same time raising funds for research and making it a serious health issue"<br /><br />-Greg Sarney, VP of Development, <a href="http://www.prostatecancer.ca/">Prostate Cancer Canada</a><br /><br /><br />On June 21 Father's Day 2009, Prostate Cancer Canada coordinated walks and runs across the nation in the cities of Halifax, Toronto, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Kamloops and Victoria BC and London On<br /><br />The Safeway Father's Day Walk/Run for prostate cancer of 2009, sponsored by BOOST, One a day, the running room, and Air Canada, among other admirable companies, was the most successful yet.

Men in Power: Interview with Steve Saltarelli, leader of America's First Male Empowerment Campus Group
<p><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"there are a lot of things that just weren't addressed. For instance rates of suicide of people 20-24... men have a 7 times higher rate of suicide, and that's something that not only most people wouldn't know it, it's not addressed" </span><br />- Steve Saltarelli, leader of Men in Power, University of Chicago<br /><br />With unemployment hitting men significantly worse than women in this economic time, and with the gender gap for bachelor and master degrees strongly skewed now in favour of women, not to mention all the other topics we explore on this show, many are starting to ask whether it isn't time for some male empowerment on campus. and student leaders are beginning to respond. On a future episode we'll interview a leader from the new Men's collective at Brandon College in Manitoba, Canada which formed earlier in 2009.<br /><br />Today I'm really excited to have on the show Steve Saltarelli. Steve is a third year University of Chicago student who recently launched a group that is claiming increasing attention called provocatively Men in Power. Stating at the outset that those seeking a group to advance men at the expense of women are in the wrong place, Men in Power's mission includes:<br /><br />- Addressing and raising awareness of the issues and challenges that contemporary men face in society today<br />- Assisting young men in the community confronting the challenges in their lives and instilling in them a positive view of the role of the male sex<br />- Reducing if not eliminating the existing antagonism of the two sexes through civil discourse<br /><br />Is this terribly exist stuff?

Matt Campbell - An Interview with a Men's Activist

<p>On today’s show I begin a three part interview with Dr. Warren
Farrell mens’ movement leader. Before that, our regular news
commentator and pundit Mark defends Denis Prager’s take on the politics
of sex in marriage.</p>
<p>My conversation with Dr. Warren Farrell ended up being so engrossing
that in order to cover all the topics we wished to explore we decided
to go long. The discussion will be released in three parts, on today’s
episode 2, episode 3 on January 30 and as one of two interview segments
on episode 4. I hope you enjoy them all.</p>
<p>Dr. Warren Farrell is roundly regarded as a leading figure in the
men’s movement, or better, the gender transition movement. His unique
background and expertise give him a perfect vantage point from which to
address men’s issues. Dr. Farrell has taught gender issues and
psychology at several institutes, including Brooklyn College,
Georgetown University, American University and the School of Medicine
at the University of California at San Diego.</p>
<p>As a young graduate, Dr. Farrell was a major player in the feminist
movement, especially in creating men’s groups across the US, then
becoming the only man to be elected three times to the Board of
Director of the National Organization for Women in New York City.
Farrell was featured in media including the New York Times, the Today
Show and the Phil Donahue Show, leading to his authorship of the
pro-feminist book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Liberated-Man-Warren-Farrell/dp/0425136809/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232152502&sr=1-1">The Liberated Man</a>.</p>
<p>As we discuss, in the late 80s, Farrell became increasingly
convinced that feminism was rather one sided and that men’s issues were
being neglected, leading to deep research on a variety of topics long
taken for granted, and the publication of his landmark <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Myth-Male-Power-Warren-Farrell/dp/0425181448/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232152467&sr=8-1">The Myth of Male Power</a>, which touched on a diverse cross section of issues.</p>
<p>Farrell would go on to research each area in great depth, leading to the publication of 5 more books, including “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Women-Cant-Hear-What-Dont/dp/1585420611/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232152528&sr=1-1">Women Can’t Hear What Men Don’t Say</a>”, a couples communication book to address the rise in divorces, “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Father-Child-Reunion-Bring-Children/dp/1585420751/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232152548&sr=1-1">Father and Child Reunion</a>”, to address the issue of fatherless homes and present the optimal shared parenting solution, “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Why-Men-Earn-More-Startling/dp/0814472109/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232152565&sr=1-1">Why Men Earn More</a>” to address the pay gap, and “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Does-Feminism-Discriminate-Against-Men/dp/019531283X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232152585&sr=1-1">Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men</a>” which, among other things, called for men’s studies in academia.</p>
<p>However, I think at this early stage in the production of the
Pendulum Effect, since many of our listeners, perhaps being in a
similar position to Dr. Farrell prior to his conversion, shall we say,
to a more balanced perspective on gender, might appreciate a sort of
broad primer to get a feel for the nature of the issues. I’ve
therefore asked Dr. Farrell on the show today to speak on his
groundbreaking book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Myth-Male-Power-Warren-Farrell/dp/0425181448/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232152467&sr=8-1">The Myth of Male Power</a>.</p>
