28.19 The Father's Movements:
Some people hold that this is a separate group from the Men's
Liberation Movement. There are some groups that are only
interested in issues like divorce reform, and ignore issues like
violence toward men, gay rights, and the draft. Many of these
groups are very similar to Men's Liberation groups, and only
differ by their concentration. Some explicitly exclude issues
like gay rights in order to not risk offending some of their
members, and this could itself be considered an ideological
position which would separate them from the Men's Liberation
groups. Anthony Astrachan ("How Men Feel," p. 311) reports that
some Father's Rights men boycotted the 1983 National Congress for
Men meeting in Los Angeles, and speculates that this was because
men's liberation members had proposed resolutions supporting gay
rights.
