A petition was created on Saturday calling for the acknowledgement of “discriminatory policies regarding men in the United States” on the White House We The People petition website.

The petition lists a few examples of ?extreme gender discrimination.?

  1. The selective service requirement for men.
  2. Discrimination towards men during divorce.
  3. The education system is ?catered to females at the expense of males? (what??).
  4. Male victims of domestic violence suffer discrimination.
  5. Genital mutilation of male infants (circumcision).

As of this writing, there is only one signature on the petition.

So what do you think Liberal America?? Is there some validity behind this petition, or do you call malarkey?

Check out the petition here, and let us know what you think at the Liberal America Facebook page!
