"Men's Rights" Wikipedia page fleshed out nicely

A lot of good work there, with many topics covered aptly. It might seem, though, that there is still some room for improvement in making it truly encyclopedic/NPOV.

Btw, I always read the talk pages, and on this one was the following gem:

The "Hattieone" user would be me, and I was doing you guys a favor, although you don't deserve it. You are making arses out of yourselves by turning these Wiki articles into opinion pieces. It's weird enough that certain webmasters from the UK who own a certain woman hating site, disguised as a pro male site, and other men's rights "activists" (who's "activism consists of doing nothing but sitting online day and night) use places like the gender's and women's section of yahoo answers to pose as multiple people in hopes of convincing somebody, anybody, that feminists are evil. Fine. But this is not a venue for opinion. And since I went to GWS and announced that I would be cleaning up these articles, I barely have (and the mention of me isn't surprising. In fact, I came looking for it, knowing that certain GWS "people" would be unable to resist talking about me here. Can anyone say predictable?) This is because I've decided that you MRA's look plenty idiotic on your own, and anybody reading your articles can see that you have an agenda. You're hurting yourselves more than my editing ever could, and you are just adding to your reputation as violent woman hating perverts. Your lack of public relations skills will never cease to amaze me. If you can't figure out that simply stating the history of your "movement" would play way more in your favor than your current MO, who am I to complain? Besides, it's not like anybody is paying attention. The average citizen still has no idea what an MRA is, an evidently, you guys don't care that the few who research you end up finding you to be a bunch of bitter sounding losers.

As far as the feminism articles you dopes are trying to lay waste to, again, your opinions make you look like uneducated liars, and yet, feminism keeps on accomplishing its goals year after year. I haven't bothered to go back and undo more of the mess you brainiacs have made because no matter what you say or do, how much you lie, or how big of a fit you throw, women will continue to gain power, and eventual full equality. I'm just glad we've gained at least enough to be allowed to freely call men like you whatever we wish.

And I will continue to just pop in on you here and there, to remind you of how completely and totally ineffectual MRAs and FRAs really are. If I didn't believe you fools had completely castrated yourselves a long time ago, I'd launch an ernest campaign against you, and out each of you as the neurotic ninnies I know you are. But since you are powerless screamers so filled with blind rage that you can't effectively represent yourselves, I'll just keep amusing myself at your expense. That's about all you are good for at this point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hattieone

That's the sort of hate we are up against, gentlemen. Amazing.

I've done a bit of work on the article including adding some of the stats on domestic violence.

It really is in need of some clean-up, however. The section on violence is too long, for example.

Surprisingly enough there's not really much vandalism of the page by misandrists, at least not yet.

I organized my men's rights stats sheet into the following categories, and the Wikipedia article covers all of them in some way: Health Education & Employment Families (father's rights, divorce, etc.) Violence (VAWA & domestic violence) Sentencing Rape (false rape accusations & prison rape) Military conscription & combat Circumcision (genital mutilation)

divorce is initiated by mothers in more than two-thirds of cases - especially when children are involved

shouldn't this be 'women' instead of 'mothers?'

Ever since this was posted some months ago I've been cleaning up the formatting and adjusting details and language where necessary. There seems to have been a lot of work invested just recently.

The Structure section probably ought to be improved to mention that a strong part of the men's movement is the growing web community, including Reddit, Men's News Daily, MGTOW & YouTube, other prominent blogs.

So statistics prove that men are both less paid than women and more paid than women

Statistics truly have no meaning.
