User:Cybermud/National Organization for Men Against Sexism

The National Organization for Men Against Sexism, or NOMAS, is a feminist organization that endorses viewing men and masculinities exclusively through a feminist perspective. Their motto is:

"Pro-feminist, gay-affirmative, anti-racist, enhancing men's lives"

Notable actions
NOMAS joined an amicus curiae brief prepared by the California Women’s Law Center, Queens’ Bench Bar Association of the San Francisco Bay Area, California Alliance Against Domestic Violence and several other California organizations in support of the shelters that addresses why it is important for women’s physical and psychological well-being that they have available domestic violence shelters that do not permit adult men. In February 2005, the California Court of Appeal dismissed the case on the ground that, while Blumhorst was apparently a victim of domestic violence in the past, he did not have legal standing to bring his current case against the shelters because when he called them, he was not an actual victim of violence seeking services. His appeal was subsequently denied.
