masculinism

Have you heard of masculinism ?  According to Fox news the men’s rights movement or simply the men’s movement goal is to have “a gender-neutral approach to social problems such as broken families, domestic violence and reproduction. For example, in approaching domestic violence it demands that the police, court system and social networks cease to pre-define victims as female and to recognize that men are often victims of domestic violence as well.” I would have to agree with that last point about domestic violence. In the rare occasion that a man is being abused by a women he should be able to seek refuge within the court system and it should be taken seriously but that’s about all I agree with. After reading this article this movement really just seemed like they could care less about women, it was strictly from the point of view of men. Many supporters talked about how much they despised the feminist movement because those feminist are the ones that have been keeping the man down. The creation of this movement just seems odd to me seeing as so many things are already tilted in men’s favor. Below is a link to the article if you want to take a look.
