ABSTRACT -Many scholars claim that there is a contemporary crisis of masculinity, in which men are confused as to what it means to be “real men.” In response to economic, geographical, political, and familial changes and feminism, men’s movements have emerged in the form of: an antifeminist backlash, represented by the men’s rights wing; a promale response, shown by the mythopoetic men’s movement; and a profeminst response represented by the profeminist men’s movement. Men's Studies Association: 15th Annual MeetingAre Men’s Support Groups Repackaged Patriarchy? Edward Barton, Michigan State University ABSTRACT - One of the criticisms of Robert Bly and the mythopoetic branch of the contemporar men’s movement is that they are not pro-feminist and that, in fact, they are anti-feminist. This paper will present a review of the literature of men’s support groups from a mythopoetic perspective, social support perspective, and self-help group perspective, which will be informed by data from structured interviews of men in two different types of mythopoetic peer mutual support groups.

Men's Studies Association: 16th Annual MeetingThe Possibility of Men as Peacemakers: Overcoming Men's Fears
ABSTRACT - Only when men can let go of fear will there be a real basis for world peace and personal healing. This process of healing men's woundshas a political dimension. Once men embrace a new, healthy and profeminist worldview there will be a real possibility that men can become peacemakers. Among the many peacemaking projects of socially conscious men are the ending of homophobia, sexism, racism, nationalism and the creed of greed. Men's Studies plays an important role in this awakening. Men's Studies Association: 17th Annual MeetingOur "Living Black Manhood": Malcolm X and Black Feminism: From Clarity to Accountability
ABSTRACT - When the renowned actor Ossie Davis, a man respected for his choice of words, eulogized Malcolm X in 1965, he called him, "our Black manhood, our living Black manhood." In this presentation, I will seek to honor those words by offering Malcolm's legacy as a living example for us Black men as it relates to his ever-growing understanding of male domination in the context of imperialism and racial violence. This presentation will look at the development of Malcolm's view of women as expressed by himself in The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Men's Studies Association: 18th Annual MeetingNonexistent Knights: Men’s Situational Gender Practices in Campus Anti-Rape Organizing Michael Messina-Yauchzy, Ph.D., Keuka College, Keuka Park, NY ABSTRACT -Through both feminist organizing and media magnification, issues of rape grew to a peak of attention on college campuses during the 1980s and 1990s. Anti-rape activists sought both to shape institutional prevention and response and also to reduce rape by affecting student culture and men’s behavior. This paper is from my study examining the rise of anti-rape activism on one northeastern United States university campus in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Based on three years of participant observation and in-depth interviewing, it focuses on a student movement organization (“HEAR-US!”) that involved both women and men and that gained strong ownership of the rape issue.

Casey, Ph.D., LCSW, Kaiser Permanente Department of Mental Health, Portland, OR ABSTRACT - Suicide completion in the United States is a public health problem that claims over 30,000 lives annually. Most of these suicide victims are white males who die by firearm, and who typically are not taking antidepressant medication and are not involved in mental health treatment at the time of death. Depression is closely linked to suicide death, and treatment for depression is provided mainly within primary health care settings.
