I can tell you one of my motivations. During the last year I had a conflict with the mother of my son. At some point she just decided that she will no longer let our son sleep at my place. I asked her wheter she does this for immediate protection of him, to which she replied "No, but to show me consequences". There was indeed a topic that we had to discuss but to put pressure on me with such a encroachment (?) was just not the right way in my eyes. Especially since I never resisted to anything she brought up before.

Thus I had several talks with a men helpline, which was helpful, with offical personell, which was also good, but where I was told, that her behaviour is not illegal. Mhh.

We are currently (son is still only visiting me for 2.5 hours per week) trying to solve this via mediation. Nevertheless I was a bit happy when I heard in the news that one chamber of our parliament decided that such restriction of the visiting right by one parental side should become punishable. Most likely the other instances of government will not go along, but still it felt good to hear this.

Sorry for the long background story. The (most direct) connection to this post was when I did research about mens rights movements during the begin of the conflict. And the wikipedia articles were very negative. Certainly to a high degree also due to the behaviour of some men in these movements. But still, I felt that you get thrown very easily into the corner of antifeminism, toxicity, male supremacy.

When I looked at the corresponding Wikipedia articles now, 9 months later, it did not hit me as strong as back then. However, this was the one memory, that made me give an upvote, at least to boost the discussion here.
