MEDIAWATCH FOR NOVEMBER

Menstuff® reports on what the press and/or some corporations are saying. Click here for November comments. Archive for our response to the media's portrayal of men.)

After reviewing some of these topics, we encourage you to write the corporations and the government and give them your viewpoint. Change doesn't usually take place when only one complaint is received. If you want to be part of the solution, let them hear from you! Here's how. Updated 11/11/01.

THE NEW LOOK OF FEMINISM

Using everything from stitchery to baking flour, women around the world are lashing out at all kinds of extremism - even stident feminism. ARTNews, 9/01

SEX. ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT IT ENOUGH?

This ad appearing in a British men's magazine showing a woman pulling open a guys jockey shorts and starring at his penis. It reads "You can't always tell if he's got an infection. However hard you look." It went on to say "More and more teenagers are catching sexually transmitted infections. Often from teenagers who don't even know they've got one. Be safe. Use a condom. If you're under 18 and need advice about Sex or contraception, call Sexwise on 0800 28 29 30 or www.ruthinking.co.uk." We applaud the ad. However, it is usually diseases like genital warts, yeast infections, clamidia that women pass on without knowing they are the carrier.
