It seems like men's issues are something that have only recently become an issue to take note of but are equally as important as women's issues.
I think feminism took the forefront for a few decades because of the glaring lack of women's rights before the 70s. I know that was an extraordinarily long time ago for many of this site's users who weren't even born until the 90s, but for others it is still fresh in our memory. But, now it's time to take a look at the other side, to make sure there is equality for all. And that doesn't mean that we must bash feminism in order to promote men's rights.
There's a really great quote about this, it's by Chally Kacelnik:
"The thing is, it’s patriarchy that says men are stupid and monolithic and unchanging and incapable. It’s patriarchy that says that men have animalistic instincts and just can’t stop themselves from harassing and assaulting. It’s patriarchy that says men can only be attracted by certain qualities, can only have particular kinds of responses, can only experience the world in narrow ways. Feminism holds that men are capable of more – are more than that.”
How do you feel about Men's Right Activism?
