	The Intellectual and Moral Bankruptcy of the Fathers' Movement - New Zealand Equality Education Foundation
		Fathers who join the Fathers' Movement tend to be wrapped up in their own -- very serious -- problems.
		The Fathers' Movement is merely a reaction to the situation in which many fathers have found themselves, but the Men's Movement is composed of men who are there because they have actually thought about the issues.
		The Fathers' Rights Movement is bigger than the Men's Rights Movement, for the simple reason that most men see no reason to fight the cumulative changes that combine to oppress them -- until they are dispossessed of their children, assets and/or liberty when their relationships break down.

	Black Pride Amidst Crisis
		In 2001, a group of black gay men met in New York City to discuss what they saw as the shortcomings in science and studies about the lives in their community.
		Malebranche said that researchers must avoid the errors of earlier research on black gay men of focusing largely on HIV and reporting data that leads to inflammatory press coverage.
		The men, now part of an organization with 20 members titled the Black Gay Research Group, will hold their second summit meeting August 4 and 5 that will draw 200 academics, health care and social service providers, researchers and others to the Marriott Hotel in downtown Brooklyn.

	Unasylva - No. 146 - Women in forestry - Standing up for trees: Women's role in the Chipko Movement
		One Chipko village leader summarized the present situation of the movement by saying that, at present, 90 percent of women and 10 percent of men are with him while 90 percent of men and 10 percent of women oppose him.
		The Chipko Movement, which has now spread from one end of the Himalayas in Kashmir to the other in Arunachal Pradesh, is endeavouring to alter the Government's forest policy by insisting on maintenance of the traditional status quo in the Himalayan and other forest regions of India.
		In the case of women's role in the Chipko Movement, it is both.

	What are some good men's movement books?
		If you want to know what the drum-beating men's movement types are talking about when they say men need to heal the "father wound," this is the book to read.
		She traces the men's movement back to psychotherapy, the Playboy ethic and beatniks; most historians don't go back much further than Fasteau's "The Male Machine" in 1975.
		The first three chapters are quite general and give an excellent (and sympathetic) history of the women's movement clearly documenting both the good and bad sides of feminism.

	Jane Dailey Sex, Segregation, and the Sacred after Brown The Journal of American History, 91.1 The History Cooperative
		Although more recent scholarship has broadened both the organizational and ideological genealogy of the civil rights movement, even those historians who qualify the influence of the black church on the movement recognize the importance of the religiosity of black and white southerners in structuring their views in favor of civil rights.
		For example, David Chappell, who sees black Christian faith in the prophetic tradition as the key to the success of the civil rights movement, downplays the theological beliefs of white southerners and considers religious segregationists dupes at best.
		There are good reasons for this: as Aldon D. Morris noted in The Origins of the Civil Rights Movement, black churches were the "institutional center" of the African American freedom struggle.

	DR-Archives
		Political activists within the movement are working for child custody laws and divorce laws that offer men more contact with their children and less absolute responsibility for financial support of ex-wives and/or children whom they may seldom get to see.
		Those who favor essentialism, however (many of whom are the most vocal spokesmen for various sections of the movement), often end up reinscribing antagonistic positions between men and women and between heterosexuality and homosexuality in their desire to rescue (as they see it) masculinity from the slurs laid upon it by feminism.
		Some of the writing in this movement is focused on what is perceived to be the greater evil done men via gender roles by turning men into working "machines" or "success objects" that are used for their earning potential and then tossed away (for example, see the work of Richard Doyle).

	glbtq >> social sciences >> Bisexual Movements
		Although bisexuals have played an important part in the glbt movement for equality, they often have had to hide their bisexuality because of a lack of acceptance from many lesbians and gay men, who believed that bisexuals would rely on heterosexual privilege to escape stigma.
		Being involved in the lesbian and gay movement had taught them the importance of coming out and organizing; now they recognized the need to come out again and establish their own organizations.
		It was feared that they would retreat to the closet (even though many lesbians and gay men in the movement were not entirely open themselves) and had less to lose than lesbians or gay men.

	EDSITEment - Lesson Plan
		Explain to students that although King was a leader of the movement, he believed its success depended on the participation of ordinary men and women who shared his dream of equality.
		Finally, discuss the immediate victories of the movement, such as African-Americans being served a meal in a restaurant, as well as the long-term prize embodied in the passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
		Again, emphasize the importance of ordinary men and women, and explain that the success of the Civil Rights Movement depended on a series of achievements at the local level by local people, several of whom will be discussed later in the lesson.

	Masculism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term masculism has been used interchangeably with the men's rights movement, but this ignores the many gender neutral and humanist groups in the men's rights movement.
		However, many of the fathers' rights movement make a clear distinction between masculism and their own often quite varied approaches to gender relations.

	AlterNet: The Way to Ex-Gay
		Although the ex-gay movement -- a network of individuals and groups dedicated to overcoming homosexuality-- is dominated by men in their 30s and 40s, there are a significant number of people in their late teens and twenties joining it.
		And because many of the problems that the ex-gay movement insists are endemic to gay life -- problems like loneliness, alienation and low-self esteem -- are also common to young people generally, the movement seems to offer its yearning believers a solution to all life's ills.
		Now he speaks authoritatively of "the gay lifestyle," which he's learned about largely from the older men in the program and at conferences like Exodus, where orators seem to compete with each other in telling of the wretched degradation they wallowed in before Jesus appeared in their lives.

	The Temperance Movement and Class Struggle in Victorian England
		The Temperance movement, as it encouraged the working class to remain sober, was seen as a way for the working class to establish selfrespectability and strive for their common goals of higher economic and social status.
		The first period of the temperance movement was focused on controlling drunkenness rather than abolishing all alcoholic beverages, and it was believed that the promotion of beer, which they were convinced was less intoxicating than the hard liquor of the working class, would provide for social drinking rather then public intoxication.
		The temperance movement focused on the drinking habits of men, because men drank publically and because the drinking habits of women were unknown.

	Catholic Worker Houses of Hospitality, Washington, DC & Clayton, WV Farm
		On August 9, 2004, the House was transferred to S.O.M.E. and effective that date was no longer part of the Catholic Worker Movement.
		The Llewellyn Scott Catholic Worker House of Hospitality for Men in Washington, DC was founded on February 8, 1986.
		As noted for the other two places and in keeping with the beliefs of living the Works of Mercy, the Farm's primary mission was to serve, in a dignified, individual way, with love and compassion, the hundreds of homeless men and women who lived there.

	Hugo Schwyzer: Big Fat Blog
		Feminism and fat acceptance are obviously natural allies, since it's impossible to imagine a member of one movement ever criticizing the other movement.
		I don't know much about the fat acceptance movement but it seems to me that one can advocate fat acceptance without condoning unhealthful habits that may cause a person's fatness.
		The reason that fat got identified as a feminist issue is that women are judged for it way more than men, which pretty much disproves the fat-phobic argument that they are interested in health, because it's far healthier to be a fat woman than a fat man.

		guilt-ridden young gay men, and closeted married gay men, taking thousands of dollars for a "program" that turned out to be nothing more than a way for Colin to continue to satisfy his own homosexual needs.
		Thousands of gay and lesbian Christians who previously sought any means to change have now found healing from the self loathing society and the church has taught them to feel.

	Marxism-Leninism and
		That the radicalization of the Ethiopian student movements and educated circles in the 60s and 70s, especially their strong leaning toward Marxism-Leninism, no doubt a product of the deferment of reforms, is a logical development of the growing impact of Western education.
		The debasement has today reached its climax with the establishment of an ethnic regime and the proliferation of ethnic movements whose grudges against the Ethiopian state, however legitimate they may be, are so excessive and one-sided that they echo the colonial disparagement of whatever is natively African.
		Undoubtedly, a deeper assessment of the Ethiopian deadlock and a complete loss of confidence in the traditional elite as well as in the emerging modern sectors single out the educated men and women of the 60s.

	The Regulators of North Carolina -- Archives & Articles
		Early historians of the Regulator movement cast Tryon as the villainous oppressor of the backcountry.
		What those in the "Regulator movement" would protest would not be the principles of the government, but the day-to-day operations, which they believed to be in violation of these principles.
		In and out of jail during the entire Regulator movement, he disappeared from the colony on the day of the Battle of Alamance.

	§1. Keble. XII. The Oxford Movement. Vol. 12. The Romantic Revival. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature: An Encyclopedia in Eighteen Volumes. 1907–21
		But, none the less, the Oxford movement, as it came to be called, formed a most important epoch in literature: yet, for a long while it stood apart, as philosophy commonly does, from the ordinary work of men who wrote and men who read.
		At the age of the reformation, at the time of the Laudian movement under Charles I and in the time of the later Caroline divines, religious literature occupied a prominent, sometimes a commanding, position in the eyes of all who were alive to the currents of public life.
		Yet, it is impossible to study the Oxford movement without seeing that it was essentially one with the romantic movement which had re-created the literature of Germany and France.

	HERESY7.TXT
		Though this Modern Attack, as I have said, is not a heresy in the old sense of the word, nor a sort of synthesis of heresies having in common a hatred of the Faith (such as the Protestant movement was), it is even more profound, and its consequences more devastating than any of these.
		For though indeed this great modern movement (which so singularly resembles the advance of Anti-Christ) may be repelled, and may even lose its characteristics and die as Protestantism has died before our very own eyes, yet that will not be the end of the conflict.
		When men apply cruel punishments, depend on physical power to obtain effects, let loose violence in the passions of war, if all this is done in violation of their own accepted morals, it is one thing; if it is done as part of a whole mental attitude taken for granted, it is another.

	Albion Small: The Meaning of the Social Movement
		The social movement is to a considerable extent a spontaneous cry of pain and a spasmodic clutching for pleasure; the sources of the pain and pleasure are not known by the majority who make the demonstration.
		The social movement is thus not the inertia of the many slightly disturbed by the few, it is the momentum of the many, hardly restrained by all the arts that the few can contrive.
		The social movement of today is the onward march of that same average humanity towards further gains indicated as within human reach, because they have actually been compassed by some men.

	Whitman and Temperance: Introduction
		The temperance movement was the largest reform movement of the antebellum period, in part because there was an increasing recognition that Americans had a real drinking problem: the national per capita consumption of distilled spirits jumped from under two gallons in 1800 to just over five gallons in 1830 and was continuing on the rise.
		Founded in 1840 in a Baltimore barroom, the Washingtonian Temperance Society placed a special emphasis on temperance meetings and testimonials--gatherings of working-class men at local taverns where individuals would tell their tales of falls into alcoholism to one another and subsequently take a public pledge of abstinence.
		These group meetings, which were organized and run by former alcoholics, not by the clergy or elites, helped to develop fraternity among working-class men and have been credited by some historians with developing a sense of class consciousness and collectivity in the United States.

		All the Washingtonian leaders were reformed drunkards, and the movement was focused on rehabilitating male household heads.
		The labor movement of the 1840s was more inclusive than it had been during the 1830s, linking men and women together in a petitioning campaign for a ten-hour day.
		The Washingtonian temperance movement of the 1840s allowed men to create a more masculine "religion" where they could reassert their moral authority within the family.

	What is the Restoration movement??
		The Restoration movement bases the claim that apostles and prophets are to be a part of the church on Ephesians 4:11-12.
		It should be noted that the current teaching of the restoration of prophet and the office of apostle is far from what Scripture describes of the men who held the gift of prophet and the office of apostle.
		Those who teach Restorationism teach that the men who claim to be apostles and prophets should never be spoken against, should never be questioned, because the person who speaks against them is speaking against God.

	The Free State of Jones: Mississippi's Longest Civil War, by Victoria E. Bynum. Chapter 1.
		There were important differences between the Regulator Movements of North and South Carolina and, accordingly, in the forces that determined whether a family supported the Revolutionary movement or remained loyal to the Crown.
		Swept by the forces of evangelical revivalism, the Regulator Movement, and the American Revolution, they participated in various "uncivil" wars, creating antiauthoritarian traditions among their descendants that later would support desertion of the Confederacy as well as secession from the Union.
		Consequently, thousands of people in western North Carolina supported the Regulator Movement during the 1760s, and on May 15, 1771, two thousand men participated in the Battle of Alamance.
