What do you exactly mean by men's study? Stuff that is taught/examined at universities or colleges? Then I've never heared of men's right's advocacy or masculism being part of the schedule. I thinks they see themselves more as a movement than a body of theory. Maybe I missed out on something - it would be great if you could make this more precise.--84.131.23.170 19:46, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

I think that the discussion has been obscured by someone who has subsequently filled half the first paragraph with a digression on men's rights issues, which I had only originally included in passing (as most men's studies scholars distance themselves from men's rights). I'll edit the first paragraph to remove any mention of men's rights and relocate the discussion to the final paragraph, which seems a more suitable spot. -- Thewatchmaker, 23 November 2005.

[edit] National Organization for Men or National Organization for Men against sexism?

[National Organization for Men] or [National Organization for Men against sexism] - these organisations represent two very different strands of the men's movement. As the first one is not anti-sexistist in the way meant here I have changed it. to NOMAS. But then it says "was". Maybe there usesd to be an anti-sexist organisation called the same? But this has to be made clear so no one will mix this up. --BarbD 14:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC) I'm quite sure now you were talking about NOMAS - they've been existing for 25 years. --BarbD 17:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
