Richard Doyle (rights advocate)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard F. Doyle is an author whose earlier book The Rape of the Male and current book "Save the Males" have established him as one of the first leading father's rights advocates. He has maintained that position since then with his advocacy of equal rights for men and critical organizational efforts, helping steer the father's rights movement to its position today.

Doyle founded Men's Equality Now International (MEN International) in 1977 and edited its newsletter, "The Liberator".

Doyle is/was also Director of the Men's Defense Association based in Forest Lake, Minnesota.

Doyle is an honorary team member of the International Men's Network

[edit] Quote

I founded the Men's Defense Association for the following purpose: To preserve the intact traditional, nuclear family through restoration of equal (not identical) rights for the male sex across a broad spectrum of life, including divorce, employment and crime punishment, as well as equal dignity in image
