Talk:Men's studies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] ?

What do you exactly mean by men's study? Stuff that is taught/examined at universities or colleges? Then I've never heared of men's right's advocacy or masculism being part of the schedule. I thinks they see themselves more as a movement than a body of theory. Maybe I missed out on something - it would be great if you could make this more precise.--84.131.23.170 19:46, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

I think that the discussion has been obscured by someone who has subsequently filled half the first paragraph with a digression on men's rights issues, which I had only originally included in passing (as most men's studies scholars distance themselves from men's rights). I'll edit the first paragraph to remove any mention of men's rights and relocate the discussion to the final paragraph, which seems a more suitable spot. -- Thewatchmaker, 23 November 2005.


This page sees to contain many 'weasel' words and terms concerning those that believe 'womens' studies' has an oppresive nature. --CMH

[edit] National Organization for Men or National Organization for Men against sexism?

[National Organization for Men] or [National Organization for Men against sexism] - these organisations represent two very different strands of the men's movement. As the first one is not anti-sexistist in the way meant here I have changed it. to NOMAS. But then it says "was". Maybe there usesd to be an anti-sexist organisation called the same? But this has to be made clear so no one will mix this up. --BarbD 14:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC) I'm quite sure now you were talking about NOMAS - they've been existing for 25 years. --BarbD 17:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This article condemns masculists.

I am currently too tired to argue, but this article is full of weasel words, and inaccuracies...Karpeth (talk) 22:18, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry Karpeth I don't see the NPOV problem you're pointing to. This is terribly sourced (or just unsourced) but I don't see weasel words. There's some probable OR in the "course are continually changing" lines but that's about it. Where exactly do you see this article condemning masculism?--Cailil talk 18:42, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
"Ironically" is such a word... Karpeth (talk) 20:19, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I have no idea what was meant by that sentence ("ironically a minority ...") the grammar was atrocious. I can see where you get the weasel word impression but I don't read it as a characterization "condemning" masculism. Anyway I've rephrased the line--Cailil talk 01:03, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
