the whole article is structured as a long dialog trying to state and then refute all positions held by the various men's rights group. |
|
|
|
|
|
I think this is massively POV. The structure presents to the casual reader the impression that all those positions have been soundly refuted and have no value. If the article about feminism was structured in similar fashion, we would have an outcry on Misplaced Pages. |
|
|
|
|
|
My suggestion would be to trim the article substantially, concentrate the "refutations" in a few places, name them as criticisim or use other language to clearly indicat they are not to be taken at face value. |
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe there are other, better ways. But as it is, this article is ridiculous. It could as well be named "Refutation of all Positions the Men's Rights Movement ever held". This is not the way to write an encyclopedia. ] (]) 22:51, 5 July 2014 (UTC) |

*Wefa, Arkon - I've actually strongly wanted to trim this article for quite some time. The unusual structure where seemingly every position of the MRM is listed and then a counter point is listed is not at all in line with Misplaced Pages's style. The laundry-list of issues (and refutations for most of them,) isn't something found on pretty much any other established article. I've tried to substantially revamp the article to be far more prose focused than it currently is at several points in the past, but have received a lot of pushback in trying to do so. If either of you are interested, I'd be happy to work on a new version of the article with you in a sandbox and then hopefully move it over once it achieved consensus. The current state of this article definitely isn't what anyone wants - it's just unfortunately what we've gotten from a lot of pushback to any major changes to the article in the past. Given the recent comparative abundance of relatively decent pop media sources dealing with the MRM, trying to restructure the article to be more well written may be something that may get less pushback than it has in previous attempts. |

:As one minor note: Misplaced Pages also strongly discourages separate criticism sections, and depending on the wording of the source, it's also inapproprate to imply that a criticism of something shouldn't be taken at less value than other sources talking about the same subject are (and may in fact be appropriate to phrase in a way that suggests it should be taken at *more* value if it's a stronger source.) Universally, well-written articles avoid the bullet style list this article currently uses, and also avoids separate criticism sections (criticism is instead integrated in to prose in the appropriate section that it naturally falls in to.) ] (]) 01:15, 6 July 2014 (UTC) |

There is an abnormal amount of criticism in this article - it is heavily unbalanced, starting with the lede section. I think one large issue is that the article is focusing more on issues, and less on the history of the MRM... obviously there is less of that as compared to feminism, but perhaps we should be looking at the largest, most prominent organisations and individuals within the movement are, and systematically look at how they have shaped the movement through policy, theory and law changes etc. <span class="vcard"><span class="nickname">]</span>; ]</span> 02:25, 7 July 2014 (UTC) |

:If you believe the article has more criticism in it than is proportional to how the subject of the article is presented in reliable sources, I'd encourage you to start a separate section where you lay out an argument to that effect, which will include having to actually look at what the RS'es say. Although I agree with you that this article focuses more heavily on issues than it should reasonably, the MRM has received an awful lot of criticism, and that is (and will continue to be) reflected in the article, at least until the movement receives a hell of a lot more positive coverage than it has. As it stands, reliable sources about many of the prominent individuals within the movement ''don't even exist.'' The lede is far from perfect, but it draws on a high number of high quality reliable sources, and any perceived imbalance in the amount of criticism contained in it is more likely to reflect actual imbalance in how the movement is covered in reliable sources than a fault on the part of Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 20:21, 8 July 2014 (UTC) |

You could argue that the feminist movement also received its share of criticism, and yet this is not found on that article to the extent it is found on this one. Reliable sources that define the movement independently from the criticism should be used, and establish a complete image of the movement. <span class="vcard"><span class="nickname">]</span>; ]</span> 12:42, 9 July 2014 (UTC) |

:If you have problems with our article on feminism, you should probably take them to that article's talk page. If it doesn't follow our content policies, it should be fixed, but even if it doesn't follow our content policies (and I don't know if it does, I haven't looked at it in probably half a year,) that would not be a reason for this article to not follow our content policies. If you believe this article puts more weight on criticism than reliable sources do, I would encourage you to start another section to that effect laying out your argument in explicit detail. And yes, that will probably require a trip to the library if you don't already own the sources used in this article currently. ] (]) 14:42, 9 July 2014 (UTC) |

::Well, there are criticisms on many of the secular movements within Feminism, that is to say, articles like ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ] etc, as well as the articles ] and ] that focus mostly on criticisms of the movement. The Feminist article also contains some criticism and discusses that there were vocal critics throughout the movement. We also have a category "Criticism of feminism" with a subcategory "Critics of feminism", all of which contains further criticism of the movement. Forget the fact that it is academically backed by the people who focus on gender issues at Universities, such as in ] and ] fields, it has to have ''exactly'' as much criticism as the Men's rights movement in article space or it is sexism against men. Either way, we could probably add even more criticism of Feminism, it would make sense considering the that we are overtly critical of women's rights movements. Maybe the whole encyclopedia should be criticism of Feminism and notable women, that'll show 'em guys --] (]) 11:11, 10 July 2014 (UTC) |

::::Apologies, it's frustrating when people are intellectually dishonest and try to push article changes based on comparisons (i.e. that Feminism has less criticisms in article due to editor bias - which is strange as ''most'' reliable sources on the Men's rights movement are critical of its actions, not some, like in the case of Feminism). It's a lazy comparison, but should be base the ] article structurally on the ] article? No, because they are completely different things, with different sources, different goals and achievements, and different histories, with the only point of reference being that they are civil rights movements. The argument that this should directly mirror the article on Feminism is weak and not useful in the construction of an encyclopedia.

Wefa, You are exactly correct this is an embarrassment to Misplaced Pages in general and in particular to its ].

Please can we change the second sentence in this article from: |
|
|
|
|
|
"The MRM is considered to be a backlash or countermovement to feminism, often as a result of a perceived threat to traditional gender roles." |
|
|
|
|
|
To: |
|
|
|
|
|
"The MRM is considered to be a backlash or countermovement to feminism, often as a result of the feminist opinion that the MRM perceive feminism as a threat to traditional gender roles." |

|
|
|
|
Or: |
|
|
|
|
|
"The MRM is considered to be a backlash or countermovement to feminism, due to their conflicting beliefs." |
|
|
|
|
|
I have checked all the citations listed for this statement and they are almost all written by pro-feminists! One was written by a man that died a long time ago and therefore has an out dated opinion. Feminists have a clear agenda against the MRM and so it seems unfair to define the MRM based on feminist views. |
|
|
|
|
|
I realise the first option might be seen as confrontational so maybe it would be better to use my second option. Ideally someone that is not pro-feminist needs to talk about the real reasons as to why they want to counter feminism but I can see that being messy! Until that happens the only fair thing is to remove this discrediting statement about the MRM's agenda. |

Under sub-section "Relation to feminism", the following sentence: |
|
|
|
|
|
"They dispute that men as a group have institutional power and privilege and believe that men are victimized and disadvantaged relative to women." |
|
|
|
|
|
Should be changed to: |
|
|
|
|
|
"They dispute that men as a group have institutional power and privilege and believe that men are often victimized and disadvantaged relative to women." - I suggest either "often" or "sometimes", or a word that would carry a similar meaning. |
|
|
|
|
|
This edit is not directly backed by sources. The main reason for this edit is to make clear that the Men's rights movement is not declaring that men are in every way victimized and disadvantaged compared to women, as could be implied from the tone in which it is currently written, and are only so in certain aspects, like the rest of the article then claims (under the "Issues" section), essentially clearing up possible ambiguity and improving clarity. |
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, I also request an edit on the following sentence under "Issues", under the first paragraph: |
|
|
|
|
|
"Some if not many men's rights issues stem from double standards, gender roles, and patriarchy." |
|
|
|
|
|
Not only does this lack any sources, seeing as the Men's rights movement denies men having institutionalized privilege it would also be logical that it denies the existence of a societal system which would revolve around said privilege (the patriarchy), and as such it could not be held as the 'cause' for these issues which the Men's rights movement claims to exist, at least from the MRM's perspective. |
|
|
|
|
|
That being said, removing "and patriarchy" from the sentence would make it more logical, at least it would be in line with MRM rhetoric, although the sentence is still not backed by any reliable sources but rather the editor's opinion.<!-- End request --> <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 23:24, 11 August 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

It's proposed that a change should be made to the Domestic Violence section of this article, with an addition of newly-published research. This proposal is for the incorporation of two new sentences (with citations) between two currently-published sentences. The following sentences should be added: |
|
|
|
|
|
"A 2014 study found women were more likely to be physically aggressive to their partners than men and women engaged in significantly higher levels of controlling behavior than men, which significantly predicted physical aggression in both sexes.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Bates |first=Elizabeth |last2=Graham-Kevan |first2=Nicola |last3=Archer |first3=John |date=January 2014 |title=Testing predictions from the male control theory of men's partner violence |url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ab.21499/full |journal=AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR |publisher=Wiley |volume=40 |issue=1 |pages=42-55 |doi=10.1002/ab.21499}}</ref> Dr. Elizabeth Bates, who presented her research at the symposium on intimate partner violence (IPV) at the British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology annual conference in Glasgow, reported that "women demonstrated a desire to control their partners and were more likely to use physical aggression than men. This suggests that IPV may not be motivated by patriarchal values and needs to be studied within the context of other forms of aggression, which has potential implications for interventions."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bps.org.uk/news/women-more-aggressive-partners-men |title=Women more aggressive to partners than men |date=June 26, 2014 |website=The British Psychological Society |accessdate=August 11, 2014}}</ref>" |
|
|
|
|
|
This proposed statements should immediately follow the sentence, found under the Domestic Violence topic, that at the time of this proposal, states: |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
The proposed addition describes the results of a scientific journal article and a quote of the significance of the study by the main author of the study, at the symposium on intimate partner violence (IPV) at the British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology annual conference in 2014. This proposed addition supports the previous sentence (above) with peer-reviewed research and strengthens the prior claim(s) with statistically-significant data. |
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the following sentence could be altered to increase flow of the sentence following the proposed addition, and improve the overall clarity of the paragraph, from: |
|
|
|
|
|
"They frequently cite family conflict research by ] and ] as evidence of sex-symmetry," |
|
|
|
|
|
to: |

|

|
|
"Further evidence of sex-symmetry is cited by family conflict research conducted by ] and ]." |

That in the time I've been gone from this article significant changes have been made with little to no discussion here that have gone against consensus as it has been established time and time again, and that despite plenty of probation violations being made, no action has been taken against anyone. If you compare the last version I edited (which mostly reflected consensus as reached through repeated discussion) and the current version, the changes I am referring to should be obvious. Oh well. I'll check back again in another three months, mostly to see how bad it's gotten, with an inkling of hope that someone has started actually enforcing the probation.

:::According to the source itself, the MRM was in an "embryonic" state at the time. I think at the very least that means that it wasn't very coherent. Kind of like feminism in the 20s,there were bra burnings, campaigns for separatist lesbian society, and killing of all men. Yet a lot of modern people who consider themselves feminists don't agree with those positions, and those that do are now referred to as "radical feminists". Likewise, if you go on websites in the most radical of the manosphere, like Reddit's , you can see a large difference even there. A lot of their contributors hate" men's rights". On the other hand, to use AVfM, that's more of the center of the MRM. On the writer states "the very values that are taught here and on many other manosphere sites that inexplicably have been attacked, disparaged, and even sought for eradication by the American media and blogosphere, '''men’s rights activists''' (my emphasis, not the article's) , “PUA haters”, and progressive organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center". In my opinion, Roger Whitcomb could, if he existed today, be placed in the more anti men's rights movement area of the men's movement. I suggest attributing him to "Roger Whitcomb, a member of the MRM...". Also, sorry for the wall of text, but the source implies that Whitcomb was against change, while a wide portion of the MRM actually wants to remove gender roles, create single and stay at home dads, have men get alimony and child support, which never happened throughout history. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Under the first few sentences, it states "As a part of the manosphere," however, the manosphere is described as promoting masculinity and misogyny, however, under my experience, the movement has been largely quite the opposite. Many times, misogyny inside of the community, at least the one I know, has been quickly pointed out and discouraged, and a large part of the men's rights community has been actively pushing against the supposed forced masculinity from society. I would like to know if this is a misunderstanding on whomever added that sentence, or a misunderstanding from me of what the male rights community truly is. I personally believe that this could be fixed by a simple "Some view this as a part of the manosphere." thus being neutral, but still getting both views into the text. |

::No ] that is not the way it works. Sources attributing a view to a group must satisfy the conditions set down by Jumbo Wales, please read them again. It should be possible to find MRAs in the UK who have firmly expressed that view. Nobody as yet has done so, apart from finding an inactive MRA from 1993. That is simply not good enough for Misplaced Pages. I find it astonishing that you would propose Reddit threads as sufficient. AvFM is from the USA not the UK, and the article is inadequate when properly scrutinized. ] (]) 01:08, 1 September 2014 (UTC) |

Which sources support it? If there are more sources, then by all means, add them to the article. It isn't OR to notice that a single source cannot apply to such a broad statement about an entire movement comprised of diverse components. There is also no attribution to be seen. Also, where in Dunphy's book does he say that the MRM in the UK is opposed to the criminalisation of marital rape?

:I suggested that the wording be changed to show that it's only some of the UK movement that are against it, although I know that other MRAs, including Farrell, support this view. The page number and quotation is listed in the references. You cannot reference from a book on Misplaced Pages without providing the page number. I think it's a good source and has due weight to be included in the article, it just takes a little rewording --] (]) 00:59, 1 September 2014 (UTC) |

== 1970s and The Myth of Male Power == |

::], your suggested rewording does not result in Misplaced Pages's and in fact Jimbo Wales conditions being satisfied, see ]. To suggest Warren Farrell, who is from the USA, holds that view is beneath contempt. Remember this is about the UK. Warren Farrell is one of the most moderate and respected voices in the gender issues debate, I am not aware he identifies as an MRA. ] (]) 01:17, 1 September 2014 (UTC) |

''In the mid-1970s, this movement began to focus on the oppression of men and less on the effects of sexism on women. This shift was influenced by author Warren Farrell and his book The Myth of Male Power. He emphasized how male gender roles disadvantaged men by forbidding them from being seen as caring or having emotion. '' ] physically couldn't have done it in 70s because it was written in 1993 year. Farrell is indeed mentioned in the source, but not that way: |

I am deleting the reference to the UK MRM and Marital Rape for a second time. Jimbo Wales is very clear on the criteria for attributing a view to group, see ]. These criteria are not even being remotely satisfied by the source(s) provided atm. I find it astonishing that anyone, let alone an experienced editor, would argue they are. If my edit is reverted then we have reached an impasse and outside help will be needed. |

''In 1971, educator Warren Farrell helped form the National Task Force on the Masculine Mystique within the National Organization for Women, an idea which quickly spread toover fifty local NOW chapters and provided a framework for the further development of the men’s movement. Farrell’s more lasting contribution to the growth of men’s awareness of their culturally limited options was his influential 1975 book The Liberated Man: Beyond Masculinity, which quickly assumed for men the place occupied in women’s liberation by Betty Freidan’s The Feminine Mystique. Its publication sparked the beginning of a separate men’s literature concerned with offering theories of and solutions to male oppression. Two viewpoints characterized this body of writing: acceptance of feminist criticism of masculine status and behaviors, and calls for the restoration of ‘‘traditional’’ masculine social roles. Among the more important works produced at this time were Herb Goldberg’s antifeminist The Hazards of Being Male: Surviving the Myth of Masculine Privilege (1976), and the anthologies The Forty-Nine Percent Majority: The Male Sex Role (1976) and For Men against Sexism: A Book of Readings (1977).'' |

The Men's rights movement is comprised of many disparate groups with more or less aligned views, beliefs and objectives. Part of the issue with this article is that the MRM is being referred to as a singular organism, when in reality is is comprised of individuals and organizations from different countries. Claiming therefore that "the MRM has been referred to as ...." is incorrect if the source only makes the claim about a certain part of the movement or of an individual within the movement. |

== Parental Alienation == |

How could we address this? We could identify the principal actors in the movement and create subsections - or better still, move the content to the individual's article (if it exists). |

Article says "Others cite the discredited parental alienation syndrome (PAS) or parental alienation as a reason to grant custody to fathers; they claim that mothers alienate children from their fathers and make false accusations of abuse in order to seek revenge against fathers." This does not reflect an accurate description of parental alienation, nor has parental alienation been discredited. In fact, there is a good deal of scientific research to support the concept of parental alienation being valid. ] (]) 20:37, 17 August 2024 (UTC) |

Under the first few sentences, it states "As a part of the manosphere," however, the manosphere is described as promoting masculinity and misogyny, however, under my experience, the movement has been largely quite the opposite. Many times, misogyny inside of the community, at least the one I know, has been quickly pointed out and discouraged, and a large part of the men's rights community has been actively pushing against the supposed forced masculinity from society. I would like to know if this is a misunderstanding on whomever added that sentence, or a misunderstanding from me of what the male rights community truly is. I personally believe that this could be fixed by a simple "Some view this as a part of the manosphere." thus being neutral, but still getting both views into the text.

As well as a questionable opinion, might not this non-NPOV be aimed at down-playing the true level of misogyny and forced masculinity within this right-wing movement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.175 (talk) 15:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
