- Description
- The men's rights movement has an increasing presence in Australia's cultural and political landscape. This paper provides a feminist analysis of the processes of men's rights collective identity, focussing on constructions of masculinity and fatherhood, and the ways in which these constructions circulate between the public and private spheres. These processes also involve the re-figuring of discourses of power and equality and a rejection of the notion of patriarchy, thus allowing men's rights men to identify as part of a collectivity and, in some cases, become politically active.
