The Men's Issues Page is an encyclopedic reference source for information on the men's movement and individual men's issues. The site gives special emphasis to issues such as fatherhood, single fathers, father's rights in child custody and support, and battered men. It includes specific areas devoted to issues usually overlooked in other men's movement sites, such as veteran's rights, men's economics, and censorship. http://www.vix.com/menmag/ This is the site for MenWeb, an electronic version of Men's Voices magazine. The webzine contains men's stories, articles, poetry, humor, and men's resources dedicated to men's empowerment and the men's movement. http://www.vix.com/pub/men/history/history.html As one of the best sites covering the men's movement, this site has descriptions of five distinct men's movements, including the mythopoetic movement, the feminist men's movement, men's rights and others. A detailed history of the men's movement is available, with commentaries by men who have participated in its various areas in the past three decades. http://www.vix.com/menmag//bly-iv.html
This site contains a lengthy interview with Robert Bly that appeared in the November 1995 issue of M.E.N. Magazine. The interview gives details about his career, his views on gender issues and the inherent conflicts between men and women.
