Men's liberation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See also: Men's movement and Gender role
Men's liberation is a stream of the modern men's movement. It holds that men are hurt by the male gender role and patriarchy and that men's lives are alienating, unhealthy and impoverished.
They are often sympathetic to feminism, but unlike pro-feminist men seeks to emancipate men in like manner to which women were liberated by the feminist movement.
They believe that men are overworked, trained to kill or be killed, brutalised and subjected to blame and shame. They give attention to the damage, isolation and suffering inflicted on boys and men through their socialisation into manhood.
They may seek ways to liberate men and have sympathy with profeminism.
