Welcome to my Blog !
It's always good to start with a glossary of terms - these are the main themes that my blog covers. Hopefully it's something that interests, educates or possibly even challenges some of your preconceived notions.
​
Men's Rights Movement:
The men's movement is a social movement that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, primarily in Western countries, which consists of groups and organizations of men and their allies who focus on gender issues and whose activities range from self-help and support to lobbying and activism. The men's rights movement focuses specifically on issues of perceived discrimination and inequalities faced by men. The MRM has been involved in a variety of issues related to law (including family law, parenting, reproduction and domestic violence), government services (including education, military service and social safety nets) health.
​
Feminism:
While there is no single definition of feminism, the most commonly accepted version is that it is an advocacy movement based on the social, economic and political equality of the sexes. A fundamental tenet to all forms of feminism is the belief that society is patriarchal in nature.
​
Patriarchy:
A term used in feminist theory to describe a broader social structure in which men as a group dominate women and children.​
​Redpill:
Inspired by the memorable scene in The Matrix where Morpheus offers Neo the choice of the red pill (see the world as it truly is) or the blue pill (remain in the illusion of the Matrix). The red-pill movement aims to spread awareness of the biases inherent in society including mainstream media, and ultimately becoming an independent thinker. ​
​
MGTOW:
Short for 'Men Going Their Own Way', it represents an entire philosophy embraced by a growing number of men worldwide. Essentially, adherents of this lifestyle choice reject marriage and cohabitation with women as they believe that these societal norms are detrimental to their personal well-being and development. It's not so much about male supremacy as it is about prioritizing self-actualization over traditional expectations.
​
Blue Sky Thinking:
Blue-sky thinking refers to ideas that are not limited by the current beliefs or norms of a group or society. Blue-sky thinking can be ideas that are creative or whimsical and maybe even bizarre. Such thinking might lead to just the solution you need.
