For my first article analysis I chose an article entitled "A Few Good Men" in the April/May 2010 issue of Bust Magazine. This article tells of the projects that five different men have done for the women's rights movement around the world. These five men in the article are Nicholas D. Kristof, Leroy Carhart, Honore Bisimwa, Paul Greengard, and Muhammad Yunus. Nicholas D. Kristof has spent his life as a journalist reporting on the issues that women around the world face every day from the countless murders of baby girls in China to the brutal treatments of women in refugee camps in Darfur. Leroy Carhart has helped women with late-term abortions after the murder of his colleague George Tiller. Carhart performs these late-term abortions on women who are carrying unwanted infants with genetic defects and health complications. Honore Bisimwa has been working to end rape in the Congo by talking to the soldiers that rape the women there. Paul Greengard has used his Nobel Prize to help women scientist earn the recognition they deserve for their contributions to science. Muhammad Yunus has worked to provide economic opportunities to women in Bangladesh.
This article shows that the feminist movement is not just a movement for women. Men are also taking an active role in changing women's lives for the better. It's refreshing to be reminded that women aren't alone in wanting equal rights for all.
