Where the Boys Are
Just a few years ago, of course, girls were the ones whose victimization by sexist schools and a male-dominated society was proclaimed on the front pages of newspapers and lamented in editorials, thanks largely to widely publicized reports released by the AAUW in the early 1990s.

Why Men's Groups?
I was always very suspicious of "men’s groups". I thought I had evolved beyond a need for sharing with others. About 9 years ago, while driving, I was listening to the audio book of "Iron John" by Robert Bly, about issues
of men maturing. I suddenly found tears running down my face but at that time had no idea why. Iron John is about men’s rites of passage. Bly outlines an idea about men gathering together to support each other.
