The National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS) Is the Oldest

Question 135

Essay

The National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS) is the oldest pro-feminist men's group in the United States and has fought for gender equality, for gay rights, against racism, and for enhancing men's lives. The Promise Keepers were founded in 1990 because of worries that traditional gender roles were eroding and advocates for a return to the days when the male was the head of the household. The organization firmly opposes feminism and gay rights. However, both NOMAS and the Promise Keepers worry about men. The Promise Keepers suggest that men communicate with their wives during prayer:
During prayer, it's often easier to open up and share personally. It can be extremely difficult, especially for a man, to reveal something personal directly to our wife. I mean, she's sitting there staring at you! There's nowhere to hide! Will she laugh? Worse yet, will she ask a million questions and want you to probe even deeper?
NOMAS argues that:
By overcoming their traditional denial of most of their feelings, men can have more meaningful relationships, richer and fuller emotional lives and even improved physical health. Men can learn to be good listeners, to be gentle, to be nurturing and sensitive to other people's needs and feelings.
Although they clearly have many differences, describe the ways in which these two groups are similar.
