From Men’s Liberation to Men’s Rights: angry white men in the US

[JoyinTorah]

7. Generation of Men's Rights Groups

There are still men's groups that remain from the 80's. NOMAS is a good example of one. Michael Kimmel belongs to NOMAS iirc. Jackson Katz too.

The difference between 'men's groups' and 'Men's rights groups' is incredible. The labeling distinction is important.I've monitored the 'Men's Rights groups' for many years. I keep a blog called mancheeze on wordpress to disseminate information to men and women about this group.

The best way to describe these MRA's is what they describe as the Manosphere. It's interesting and predictable that these men would claim a space on the internet to call their own. It's the notion that men have to take up the entire space and not allow women into it, which is exactly what the Manosphere is.

Some women are on side with these MRA's but they're few and far between. They coddle these men and their notions of what a man should be (traditional masculinity) as well as take on the misogyny. All of these women are below the middle/upper middle MRA's as far as class, not to mention sex. Many of these women use the MRA's to extract money. It's no small feat to raise 25K in less than a day, which is what MRA's did.

Then the female MRA's hopped on the gravy train and got another 6K and counting.

The current MRA movement has a single guy at the top, Paul Elam, who takes hundreds of thousands of dollars from angry men and puts it in his pocket. This movement has done NOTHING to help men the way that the men's groups of the 80's did.
