Is this a test or a poll? -- Mens Movements
Which one best characterises you?
1. Feminist Men's Movement: constituted by "alpha males" siding with
feminist claims that "male constructed patriarchy" is the ultimate evil
in society, and that women and children are its main victims.
2. Mythopoetic men's movement: advocates revival of traditional
'masculine' sex-roles and accompanying spiritual practices; rites of passage,
tribal drumming, and father-son reconnection instead of "father
absence".
3. Good Fatherhood Movement: traditional sex-roles movement promoting
"breadwinner", "involved father" and "good family man" roles, and
critical of all the so-called "deadbeat dads".
4. Christian Men's Movement: Has some similarities with the Good
Fatherhood Movement in advocating traditional sex-role divisions, but here
strictly based on Biblical and Christian idiologies of gender.
5. Men's Liberation Movement: men who seek liberation from sexist or
misandric social and legal structures and institutions. Has many aims in
common with the Father's Right's Movement, but with a focus on all men,
not just fathers.
6. Father's Rights Movement: Considered "warriors" of the men's
movement, seeking a fairer legal stake in areas like divorce, child custody,
child support awards, and rights of unmarried fathers.
7. New Misogynists: the male equivalent of radical misandric feminists
who blame all ills on the opposite sex. Women haters. -- from the fathers4equality email list
None of the above, really. I might be squeezed into No. 5, except that I think men should take the lead and strive for real equality before the law -- not just for men. I think "equality before the law" for any named group is just a way of saying the group wants the law to discriminate in their favour.
Discrimination is the function of the letter of the law.
Family matters and relationship problems are beyond the limitations of the law.
