What’s up with men?

It seems difficult lately to open the paper, listen to the radio, surf the internet or watch the news without encountering another story of manhood gone wrong. This week it is the story of a 37 million dollar lawsuit against the former head of David Jones, Mark McInnes for sexual harassment. A few weeks back it was Mel Gibson having another global meltdown, though this time it had a truly dark edge of seething verbal violence. Before that it was Tiger Woods, a man who seemed to have chased, achieved and gone beyond the wildest dreams of success that are supposed to make any man happy. Perhaps even more disturbing and definitely more tragic was the final conviction in Victoria last week of Robert Farquahson, who drove his car into a dam and drowned his three little boys to get back at his ex-wife.
