| has gloss | eng: The term mens rights refers to freedoms and entitlements of boys and men. This term is specifically related to focusing on rights that girls and women have but not boys and men, and should not be confused with general human rights applicable to all people, boys and men included. Mens rights relates to the role of the male in contemporary society. Traditionally, this role has been largely influenced by the physical and mental attributes of the man in his ability to provide protection and sustenance to his partner and offspring. This role, and the rights relating to it, has changed over time due to social, legal and religious influences. In the last several decades, with the arrival of feminism, changes in technology, and the reduced need for working in hazardous and harsh environments, the role, and subsequently the rights equal to women have become questioned. |
