Advice Goddess Radio: Tonight, 7-8pm PT -- Dr. Helen Smith On How American Society Has Become Anti-Male
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.
This is not just a show for and about men but a show for anyone who cares about equal rights and fairness for all.
Tonight's guest is psychologist and blogger Dr. Helen Smith talking about how, in America, it's become permissible -- and even fashionable -- to be anti-male and what men can (and must) do to start changing this.
What men have been doing is going on strike -- dropping out of college, leaving the workforce, and avoiding marriage and fatherhood in droves.
There are countless articles sneering at the man who is more man-child than grownup, but Smith, in her book, Men on Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream - and Why It Matters, contends that men aren't dropping out because they're stuck in arrested development; they are responding rationally to the lack of incentive they see in becoming fathers, husbands, and providers.
On this show, Smith will lay out the problems -- including shocking discrimination against men such as rampant paternity fraud, condoned and even encouraged by the government -- and what she sees as steps toward solutions, for men in general and for the individual man.

*NOTE: Helen and I taped this show on Friday afternoon (due to a travel conflict she had), so it isn't live, but it is brand-new, and I found her inspiring, and I hope you'll listen and buy her book.
And don't miss last week's show with sex therapist Dr. Marty Klein who rips away widely held myths about sex to help everybody listening improve their sex lives.
It turns out that our assumptions about the mindblowing sex we think we are "supposed" to be having is the thing that stops us from the pretty great sex we could be having. Or from having sex at all.
Klein's very helpful book: Sexual Intelligence: What We Really Want from Sex--and How to Get It.
