User talk:LikaTika/men's rights movement

Undue weight to certain citations
As you can see, I'm reusing lots of citations from the men's rights article. There are too many citations given to a limited number of authors. I'd love to find better sources, working on it now. LikaTika (talk) 17:39, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * If this is a legitimate concern of Wiki Editors, I would strongly suggest examining how often Michael Kimmel pops up in discussions on the domestic violence article when examining the idea of males as the only or primary abuser. Sorry if this is off topic, as if refers to another article, but it is this comment/policy/concern specifically that I am interested in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kratch (talk • contribs) 03:44, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

MRM vs MRA Claims
I feel like I need separate articles for claims, or at least separate sections. This currently reads like propaganda LikaTika (talk) 18:33, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

It is interesting to note
that in your version MRM is basically a Western Culture thing and then the picture right next to it is from India. It seems to me that the men's right movement is a worldwide phenomena - and likely to get more so in the coming years. I'd suggest dropping the "western" thing.

Education
Here are a series of articles by the globe and mail that describes the education issue for boys. It is primarily Canadian focused, but describes many of the issues that are experienced throughout the western world (and I suspect finding sources to link the content to another country wouldn't be difficult). It is a very informative collection of work (and don't limit yourself to just part 1-6, if you find it interesting, there are other off side articles which have some valuable information, such as the count of scholarships available to each gender).

I hope this helps you. I have decided to step away from writing content (or I'd offer to help write some points) due to the controlling behavior of certain editors which tends to delete content in full, defeating the purpose of writing it.--Kratch (talk) 02:29, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

The counsel for male studies deserve at least a mention http://www.malestudies.org/mission.html --Kratch (talk) 06:33, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Fathers and Families is a family court reform group that may have some relevant information. Though custody is one of their biggest concerns, they do examine child support laws, Alimony laws, consequences of false allegations of abuse, effects of actual abuse (by ether parent), effects of child abduction, Child services procedures (IE, laws exist for CPS to look to the father when a child is taken from the mother. they don't even contact the fathers in half the cases where the father is known, even denying the fathers custody when they request it ), etc. They have been involved/responsible for a number of family court reforms, most notably they're successes in custody reform for those in service to the US military (regardless of gender. IE problems that predominantly affect one gender don't require the solution to do the same), ensuring their time abroad can not be used against them in custody disputes, as well as ensuring any custody arrangements they had when they left for service remains intact when they get back (IE, no granting sole custody to the non-,military parent while the soldier is too busy getting shot at to defend his case).

Warren Farrel's White House proposal for a counsel for boys to men may be of help too. --Kratch (talk) 20:20, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
