why is there no such thing as "Man's Lib"?

Question

we had a "Womans' Lib" movement which supposedly 'equalized' women in fields traditionally held by men.

Conversely there has been no call for a movement for men to 'equalize' in fields/professions/emotions typically/traditionally held by women.

Whatup with that?

Answer 1

Thre are no more men.
We are all PC drones now.

Answer 2

The women's movement has done a lot to help "equalize" men and women however there is still a long way to go. The U.S. has still not passed the ERA (Equal Rights Ammendment - this means that equal rights for women are NOT guaranteed under the law), the average woman in North America still makes only about $0.70 to the average man's dollar, for the most part women are still shut out of predominantly male trades (where there is good money to be made), career women still regularly bump their heads on the glass ceiling (an invisible barrier that prevents her from rising higher within a corporation), and, most sad of all, approximately 50% of all women have experienced domestic violence at some time in their lives at the hands of a boyfriend or husband (Statistics Canada also states that each week 2 women are murdered by a spouse or boyfriend - in the U.S. there are several such murders every day).

Then there are the most horrific situations in other countries... Just look at Afghanistan - can you imagine that less than 20 years ago the women there were doctors, lawyers, teachers, could vote, participate in politics, drive cars, and receive complete educations. Under the taliban it became illegal for a woman to work, let alone show her face. Anyway, I'm sure you know about this so I won't keep going on.

I do consider myself a feminist and I'm all for "Human Rights" - "Women's Rights" are just a part of "Human RIghts" Thanks for the thought provoking question.

Answer 3

Men have not had the necessity of being liberated. Males, in particular, white males, are considered the majority, and minority groups such as "Woman's Lib" or "NAACP" want to make sure their minority has its voice heard as well.

Answer 4

Because men don't have to liberate themselves from any one, women on the other hand, had to liberate themselves from the domination of men.

Answer 5

Men are already liberated. When them Feminist movement emerged we had all the rights and all the property. Thus, we don't need to be liberated.

Answer 6

Men were totally dominant in society for thousands of years. They don't need to be liberated. Your question is not as stupid as it seems.

Plus, there are plenty of male nurses, plenty of male teachers, etc. Look around, dude!

Answer 7

Because men were liberated long before women were.

Answer 8

well i think it's because in todays society women are considered lesser than men....show me something that we're not equal to them with and i'll shut up :)
