Episode 3 - The Myth of Male Power - The 1980's and Men's Rights

What this episode covers

The Men’s Rights Movement. When people hear of a bunch of guys talking about gender, if you grew up around the 2010’s, Men’s Right Activists or MRA’s are usually the first thing they think of. The Men’s Right Movements had it’s heyday in the 2010’s but men have been complaining about their rights for a long time now. Now don’t get me wrong, there are a bunch of things that men specifically have been led to believe is just and fair that is just not right. But when I mean that MRA’s complain, they are complaining about issues that if you look a few steps deeper they can find an equitable solution. But for the most part, MRA’s and the Men’s Right Movements have all set their targets on one thing, feminism. This is what separates MRA movements and the rest of the rest of the men’s movements. Their steadfast vitriol against women and feminism, which they blame all of their problems on. No matter how absurd their argument, it started from somewhere. And it’s been around for longer than you may think. The modern version of it also started from an unlikely source. Now this episode is not only a breakdown of where it started up until before the internet, that’s going to take another episode to talk about after the internet. But a breakdown of their most popular and hateful rhetoric, as well as end on its most infamous tragedy. With Guest Samanthan Nzessi from MASKulinity
