• The Brethren, a Central U. S. group founded in 1966 as an iconoclastic response to the idiocy of the Viet Nam war and to question the burgeoning radical feminist movement which, then and now, eagerly finds fault with all things masculine. Members are now active from coast to coast and in Canada. All members are college educated. Most marry, have children, and pursue lives which express fundamental gender differences, as researched by Baron-Cohen, Simon. See also nationofwimps.com .
