We had a discussion in class last week about what women and mens movements we identified with. While sitting there trying to write my list, I couldn't think of any! So after doing some research I have found my movements!The womens movement that I identify with is the Feminist Movement also known as the Womens Movement. This movement fight issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, voting rights, sexual harassment and sexual violence. The mens movement that I most identify with is the Father's Rights Movement. Activists for this movement work on providing education, support and advocacy with issues custody, access,child support, domestic violence and child abuse, maintenance and family court issues. The members protest what they see as evidence of gender bias against fathers.
I can identify with both these movements because they both fight and support issues that I feel strong about and would fight for! Feminist Movement fighting issues such as domestic violence, equal pay, sexual volence, maternity leave and the Fathers Rights Movement fighing issues such as custody and child support! These issues are issues that affect everyone in some way, shape or form. Both of these movements make me want to get out and do more! From now on I will start volunteering more of time to organizations that have a good cause! Help make the world a better place!!! After all if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!
