Surely you cannot mean the male of the human species, who suffers from an inability to procreate, a basic function of life, without outside help?
Because parthogenesis is so very extremely common?
Reading Alan Greenspan's memoirs reminds me of something very important: government intervention is the very last, worst resort.
As I mentioned in my comment above, I don't see how this responds in the least to anything I've said above. But I'll address it anyway.
Governmental intervention is, at its heart, a liberal feminist approach to the problem, not a radical feminist one. This is not to say there aren't times when governmental intervention isn't called for, especially in times when suffering is so extreme a work of mercy is required (e.g., the welfare state). But it works much worst as a system of social action, because it doesn't change minds quickly or directly. (It can create opportunites for minds to change on their own by creating inclusive environments, however.) What is need much more than governmental intervention is cultural intervention--a radical transformation of the culture industry itself.
