Ah, yes. The perpetual tragedy of Men's social awareness movements.
​
Late 80's a group of psychologists and writers attempted to address the issues affecting men's psychology and identity in a changing world and society and called it the "Men's Movement." [Suggested Reading](https://smile.amazon.com/Rag-Bone-Shop-Heart-Anthology/dp/0060924209/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550604390&sr=8-1&keywords=rag+and+bone+shop+of+the+heart) When it makes overtures to try and ally itself with feminist groups they are largely rebuked under suspicion and lose just enough interest by it's founders that it gets taken over by a group of horrible misogynists before slowly sputtering out of steam.

Late 90's a group of well meaning men looking to address heavy handed policies in the justice system start the men's rights movement so they can spend more time with their kids, before being rebuked by feminist groups and losing all of the reasonable voices inside of itself by the loud bellow of horrible misogynists. This one just sure is taking it's fucking time dying.
I'm not sure if it has 100+, but my favorite collected anthology, by far, is The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart. The subtitle can go fuck itself, but the collection itself is unbeatable. So, so good. Really, this book showed me so much of what poetry can be. I really enjoy that it doesn't focus on one era so much over others, contemporary poetry is well-represented, and this all shows in the organization of poems. Pound right next to Olds right next to Li Po. Brilliant.
If I can get over the subtitle, I feel like anyone should be able to. Check it out!
