Sexism, Only This Time About Men Enlarge this image iStockphoto iStockphoto From terrorism to natural disasters, the standard reporting on casualties is often like this by Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep: "First, we go to Gaza," recited Inskeep. "When will NPR and its news journalists and reporters finally accept the egalitarian principle that all human lives are equally precious, and that the loss of men's lives is no less tragic than the loss of women's lives?"

It is really sad that the dominant male paradigm has done as much harm to men as it has to women, but it's even sadder that women still cop the blame. Though we're supposedly living in a post-sexual-revolutionary world, men still feel they can't trust that women …
