I 've just finished reading another essay written by a woman analyzing the Men's Movement. The essay articulated the ways the psychological and mythopoetic elements of the movement reinforce men's domination over women and reinstates the patriarchal hierarchy. There are frightening ironies inherent in this branch of the Men's Movement. I suspect that women are correct in the belief that the impetus for a Men's Movement comes out of a reaction to, even a backlash from, the Feminist Movement.
Men are scared and frustrated.
They are grasping because they want to feel in control again. Men are feeling vulnerable. It seems then, the Feminist Movement is working. Something has changed profoundly enough to cause a national stir among men. Feminists are right to challenge this reaction and call it as they see it, just as they have for all these years.
