This week I had my Eureka moment while reading Chapter 4 of the text. I always knew there were many women's movements but I never heard of a men's movement. I surprised to learn that there are so many movements covering various aspects. Also, many of the websites were interesting and provided alot of information pertaing to what it is that they can help men with and how to go about contacting them should a male have an issue. Some of the websites even had options to where one could make a donation to help the organization expand. I had no idea men were so supported by other men and that they were even victims of some of the things listed in the text. The term profeminists was very interesting as I have never heard it prior to this class. It was interesting to learn that there are many men who are out there fighting to "support women's battles" (pg. 96).

It was really interesting to learn about the men's movements. I find it great because a lot of the people in our class (including me) were so surprised to read about these different movements, and that's interesting that the movements havent gained the kind of popularity that women's movements have. I wonder if that's because people are less likely to take men's movements seriously. I know I found myself saying on the Blackboard discussion how I didn't think certain men's movements would have enough to say considering men's already high up positions in society, however, mabye I was jumping to a conclusion too fast without listening to their potential problems.
