Gender Movements

Men and women have battled for their rights for ages and still are. Of the many men and women's movements that have influenced society I cannot say that I personally identify with any of them. I am a man so obviously I cant relate to any of the women's movements. In addition to that I'm a college student in my very early 20s and a majority of the men's movements are targeted at older men with a lot more problems on their hands than reading textbooks and getting assignments done on time.To be honest, before taking this gender and communication course I didn't even know there were men's rights movements. The masculinist men's movements struck me by surprise because of their extreme nature and I found that the men's rights movements had more merit to them. After reading about the many mens movements I decided that the father's rights movement, which is relatively new, was the most legitimate. I say this because it strives for fifty-fifty custody rights for fathers, which I believe is an important issue. In my opinion, every good father shouldn't have to lose their children, whom they love and have helped raise, to a divorce.
