We women have been doing a great job fixing men over the years and don\u2019t need a first-person account of an MDI team meeting to get men off track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MDI President Geoff Tomlinson was taken aback by such comments, wondering if women missed the point of the article by Mickey Rapkin, who attended a team meeting in the Los Angeles area last December and wrote about his experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the women who complained to us had only read the article, they would have seen that MDI men create successful families, careers and communities,\u201d said Tomlinson. \u201cOur focus is on personal growth and respect for all, including women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One female critic, Julie Steiner of Lincoln, Nebraska, said articles like the one published in the current edition may encourage men to pick up the magazine to start reading the articles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho knows what men will learn when they start reading articles in Playboy?\u201d she complained. \u201cThe next thing you know they\u2019ll be reading at home instead of watching television and washing dishes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One MDI man who heard about the backlash from women expressed doubt that the quality of MDI meetings will decline as a result of the criticism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think men might hide the article from their wives and girlfriends from now on, rather than expose their women to literature that might offend them,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter all, it\u2019s better to avoid an argument than arouse suspicion. I fight only honorable battles. But I think it\u2019s a shame, however, that these women who are complaining aren\u2019t reading about the good work men are doing.
