The men’s movement has been kicking along since the 1960s. It grew alongside second-wave feminism, the Black Power movement and student activism. It started as a men’s liberation movement that looked at how boys and men needed to adapt to a world of gender equality. It looked at the restrictions of the male role, very much in the same way as feminists looked at the female role. Early men’s movements campaigned alongside women, but very soon they split into opposing camps who were either pro-feminist or anti-feminist.
