Does anyone know of any "Men's rights" activist groups in Canada? More specifically in Vancouver? There doesn't seem to be an organized effort, but there are many areas which need to be addressed:
1. Men's right to choose (to be a father or not - we are not just sperm donors)
2. Father's rights (divorce and child custody)
3. Criminal laws not applied equally to both sexes
4. Misandry in the media
5. Genital mutilation (circumcision) - OK for males, illegal for females?!?
6. Lack of "men's studies" courses in university
7. Unequal access (men's only clubs (sports teams, scouts, etc) = bad, women's only clubs (just ladies fitness) = good?!?)
8. Push to encourage males to gain valuable higher level education is very limited, but the push to encourage females to continue their education is HUGE!!! Many more females than males in universities today.
9. Lack of studies on men's health
10. Domestic violence against males (physical, mental, and emotional abuse goes mostly unreported)
There are more issues facing this generation and all the next generations of males (your husbands, sons, brothers, nephews, etc.), and as 50% of the population, we need to ensure government and policy makers are listening to OUR concerns, and not just receiving one side of the story.
