The Problem

1. Cultural assumptions about the male Rigid Sex Role and Male Disposability fuel and enable

2. Male Bashing and Stereotypes. These lead to

3. Double Standards which eventually leads to

4. Discrimination.

 

Stereotypes of men

Violent? This has led to double standards and discrimination in areas such as domestic violence.

All men are Rapists? - This has led to over zealous rape shield laws and a blind eye to false accusations of rape.

Cold and unfeeling? This leads to indifference in men's emotions and translates into a lack of understanding and services for men in need.

Indifferent and bumbling caretakers? This leaves men out of their families after divorce via the family court system.

 

Men are Good!

manThis web site is proud to say that MEN ARE GOOD!

Our mission is twofold:

1) Bring attention to the mature masculine that has been obscured by the high volume of male bashing and stereotyping.

2) Help people to understand the invisible and hidden process that starts with rigid sex roles and male bashing and ends up as discrimination against men.

Do you cringe when you hear Men are Good? Many do. A woman walked past my computer the other day and saw the "Men Are Good" headline and sarcastically sneered, "Yeah, right!" For her it was obvious that this statement was incorrect and she was voicing the pedestrian and almost universal cultural belief that there is something wrong with men and masculinity today. It seems we are unable to hold our women up without tearing our men down.

How did we get there?
