Law Professor John Kang has a new article in the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender entitled The Burdens of Manliness. You can check it out here.

Update: Reading over a download of the paper, I am struck by the following statement made by the author:

Moreover, I do not feel in the least that women have stolen power from men, and I have no wish to advance the position that discrimination against men to benefit women is necessarily unjust.

It's not unjust? WTF? Of course it is. How can a professor of law say such a thing? Perhaps I am reading too much into Professor Kang's statement but of course it is unjust to discriminate against men to benefit women. Isn't liberty and justice for all the hallmark of our Constitution?

Update: Ann Althouse discusses the Kang article and explains why Kang might have said what he did: "Kang denies that he's a throwback to the "the sensitive troglodyte yearnings of the 1980s Men’s Movement," and I hear echoes of criticisms he must have received on drafts of this article." Althouse described the criticism she herself received as an untenured law professor when she tried to get a feminist professor to see that freedom for all (including men) would be better.

Perhaps it is understandable why Kang has to make excuses and precede the article with some kind of PC talk but it doesn't make it right by any means.
