Man's world
theory stirs
rights move
By MARTIE BARNES
Associated Press Writer
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) —
According to the (rid saying, it’s
a man’s world.
But what’s so great about that
if a man’s life expectancy is
seven years less than a
woman’s? Or if men pay more
for car insurance because the
industry assumes they’re
“reckless?” Or if few divorced
fathers get custody of their
children?
Is a “man’s world” so great if
men, and not women, are
subject to a military draft? Or if
men always are expected to
make the first move, accept a
dare, be a success, and never
seem “unmanly?”
Those are the sort of
questions Fredric Hayward
raises as he fights what he sees
as sexism against men.
His job, as the founder erf
Men’s Rights Inc., is to fight
laws that discriminate against
men and stereotypes that
belittle them.
Since the advent of the
women’s movement, people
have learned to recognize ways
that women are discriminated
against, but they fail to see
discrimination against men,
Hayward says.
Hayward, 33, a New York
native, founded his non-profit
corporation in 1977. Once a
teacher and a State Department
employee in Thailand, he now
subsists by working two nights a
week at a hotel.
Hayward has testified at
hearings that helped make it
unlawful in Massachusetts for
young men to pay higher auto
insurance rates than women,
regardless of individual driving
records. He filed suit and won a
ban of ladies’ nights in bars.
He’s filed suit in an effort to
bar insurance companies from
charging men higher life in-
surance rates than women just
because women live longer. The
Massachusetts Commission
Against Discrimination ruled in
his favor, but the life insurance
companies have appealed.
And he’s planning to launch
an attack on the practice of
awarding custody to women in
90 percent of divorce cases.
Hayward, who is divorced,
says he is not anti-woman or
anti-feminist. But he feels
feminists “made a mistake in
not incorporating the male
perspective.”
For example, he said
feminists and school officials
“didn’t think it was a problem”
when a dress code was
established for boys but not
girls where he taught.
And people actively support
campaigns “against violence
against women,” but they pay
little attention to the fact that
four out of five victims of
homicide and aggravated
assault are male, he says.
“Violence is a man’s issue as
much as a woman’s,” he says.
“Women say they can’t walk
the streets, but it’s the same for
men — but they’re afraid to say
they’re afraid.”
