This is a useful page outlining some major concerns raised by the Men's Movement. This movement consists of multiple organizations in the US, Canada, UK, continental Europe, Australia and New Zealand (to name just those of which I am personally aware). Because of the breadth of organisations that campaign for Men's Rights I suggest that the list of Men's Rights Organisations be arranged into sections.
Initially, I have created sections for International/US/Canada and Australia, but if those with knowledge of specific organisations could further divide the first section and add other sections that would be helpful. I have considerable first-hand experience with the Men's Rights movement in Australia, perhaps others could put up their hands with similar experience in other countries, so we can extend the information included here. Thanks everyone. -Akiva Quinn 02:45, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Great work on the link collection. It is, however, overburdening the artcle. I'd suggest moving it to a List of Men's rights organizations site. Also, the article needs structural reworking, cf. Wikipedia:How to write a great article, e.g. a lead section, somewhat longer paragraphs (some critical voices would be nice to).bastel 03:17, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
POV
Not sure about this, but it seems this page has a subtle POV to it.
e.g. "This can lead to the mistaken perception that such measures are anti-women."
I'm sure there are feminist groups out there who will argue that most of the claims made about discrimination again men are either false, blown out of all proportion, or fair. (note I'm not taking a stance on this issue). In saying that such perceptions are mistaken, wikipedia is taking sides in this dispute. Morwen - Talk 12:55, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
- a subtle POV is a very nice way of putting it: The Men's rights movement is viewed critically by major parts of the population and (even more so) academia. There's none of that in the article except for the above quoted. If anyone finds the time to fix this?bastel 03:12, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Men's rights?
I'm a man and I find this laughable to say the least. Discrimination against men is extremely rare, compared to discrimination against women. Women's rights is a valid term, this is not. There is not one society that discriminates against men. There are many that discriminate against women. Feel free to debate me, but I will win the argument, because you will not be able to back up your claims. Revolución 04:18, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
