a highly selective and largely personal list. There are thousands of other
resources out there. NOTE:
If you haven't looked through this list in a while, give it a try. There may
be some gems you've missed. If you find any broken links, let me know! NEW LINKS Men's

problems. Very good coverage for its size, with some useful links. http://www.manssage.com/thesaurus/Mens-Health-Issues.html

"curing feminist indoctrination." Blogs,

counter-evidence for feminist claims about equal pay, domestic violence,

for men's gatherings, retreats, and trainings. April 2008. Please report broken links or suggest

Trainings NOTICE
My selection of gatherings or other men's events is a personal choice.
I've generally tried to list more modest, non-commercial, non-profit
enterprises with no ties to larger organizations. With any gathering or men's event, you would do well to find out more
via the organization's website (including any links to sponsoring
organizations) and by consulting Google and Wikipedia. Ongoing Trainings and Retreats Circles
of Air, Circles of Stone (http://www.questforvision.com/index.html).

Portals and Publications Men's Studies Press. A relatively new publisher
of journals and books on men's studies. Well worth a look. One Web site seems to stand out as a gateway, or
portal, to access not only a rich amount of its own material but links to many,
many other sites of interest to men (including Menletter):
The Men's Center (http://themenscenter.com/). The coverage is
astounding. Menstuff is a massive, mostly noncommercial site
with many noted authors. They get something like 100,000 visitors a day and
have been around for over a decade. Mensissues - an extensively indexed and
categorized listing of articles on men's issues, drawn from Menstuff.org. While not
exactly a portal, the My Way collection (http://mysearch.myway.com/jsp/GGdir.jsp?cat=gwd/Top/Society/People/Men)
