Men have responded to feminism in different ways over the three waves of the movement. Some men have taken a pro-feminist stance and supported equal rights and opportunities for women. Others formed masculinist or men's rights groups that sought to reestablish traditional masculine ideals or address perceived inequalities faced by men. Still other men expressed anti-feminist views and argued that feminism has gone too far or that men face greater challenges. Younger women today have also expressed skepticism about some feminist principles and ideals. Feminism analyzes representations of gender in culture through areas like media, language, architecture, and technology.
