Is there a "War on Men"? Lots of people seem to think so, and a few of them will be on tonight's episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, repeats three hours later). They include:

* Christina Hoff Summers, author of the The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men.

* Gavin McInnes, blunt-spoken miscreant, and author of "Let's Not Let Boys Be Boys."

Pushing back on the thesis will be Jill Filipovic of Feministe, and your ever-skeptical co-hosts. McInnes and Red Eye regular Joanne Nosuchinsky will also play a riveting game of "Name That Sexist."

Aside from earnings disparities, divorce settlements, zero-tolerance policies, and custody cases, "The War on Men" will also hit on a couple of other important public policy issues:

* Sexual assault on campus, both the incidence and investigation thereof. Foundation for Individual Rights in Education President Greg Lukianoff will talk about the latest developments.

* Injustice in paternity establishment and related child-support issues. Paternity fraud activist Carnell Smith joins.

It's a fun and informative show, and you should watch it on your television set. Also, it repeats at 2 a.m. ET, and again Saturday at 11 p.m. ET.
