Men's Movement

I’ve spent the last week reading about the men’s movement and how it was formed in response to the feminist movement in preparation for the paper I am currently writing. Before doing this reading, I had never heard of the practice of men in the 90s going out into the woods to become reacquainted with nature and other men. In addition, some men’s groups believed that being a man was endangering and men needed to find some way to re-shape their gender so their health and well being was not as threatened. As I am developing this paper, I have decided to include research about the men’s movement since it was formed as a direct result of feminism. I am currently struggling with how to differentiate between components of the men’s movement that are clearly pro-feminist and components of the men’s movement that are anti-feminist. By doing this I believe I will be able to support my argument that men who are pro-feminist are treated as the other among other men.
