NCFM formed in 1977 to address men’s issues. Since that time, a men’s rights movement has been steadily growing globally to address men’s rights that have been seriously neglected in laws and public policies worldwide.

Fathers have historically been denied equal parenting rights with mothers. The 19th Century “tender years” doctrine, which explicitly gave mothers custody over children ages 13 and younger, was later replaced with the “best interests of the child” doctrine, but the gender bias persisted. As late as 1971, the Minnesota State Bar Association’s handbo...

Male victims of domestic violence have been seriously neglected in public policy, outreach and services. But they are not rare at all. They’re just less likely to report it, which makes crime statistics unreliable especially for men.
Although men still report it less to police, virtually all independent empirical survey data shows women initiate domestic violence at least as often as men in heterosexual relationships and men suffer one-third of physical injuries. Almost 300 of these studies, which use various methodologies, are summarized by Professor Martin Fiebert at www.csul...
Many government-funded domestic violence programs still explicitly discriminate against male victims. In Australia and the UK, the government had to revoke funding from domestic violence shelters for refusing to help male victims. http://express-advocate-wyong.whereilive.com.au/news/story/support-team-pulls-plug/# www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/ap...

At the outset, this is a hypocritical argument because these same critics have used CTS-based studies for decades to cite figures on...
