Description

Overview of Men's Liberation

There is a large and growing movement of men who are active in overcoming the harmful effects of patriarchy and gender roles on men as well as working to end the oppression of females. According to the Wikipedia Encyclopedia, "The men's movement, like most social movements, comprises a number of streams, intersecting in a variety of ways, sometimes opposing each other. These streams are a pro-feminist stream, a men's liberation stream, an anti-sexist or masculist stream, a mythopoetic stream and a men's / fathers' rights stream."

The focus will be on the pro-feminist stream which helps the overall movement of anti-sexism.
