As there is no record on this discussion page of anything having to do with the NPOV tag on the main list page, I'm taking the liberty of removing the tag. It is difficult to see any way in which this article list could be POV, but if I am in the wrong, someone please let me know. Thanks. Somnambulent (talk) 00:52, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• The article is POV in what it includes or doesn't include. There's a subtle POV, for example, in designating "birth control sabotage" to be an issue relating to "men's rights". It's a very difficult issue to fix in a list format; ideally, it should be discussed on the individaul article pages, and where the article identifies it (through sources) as being a related issue, the article should then receive an appropriate category tag. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:29, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This seems to be an area that would be more appropriately covered by a category, seeing as the list does not aim (and should not aim) to present commentary and elaboration on the topics. A category would be less prone to vandalism and POV pushing and would allow for articles to self-identify as associated with this topic rather than being centrally assigned to. Barring compelling comments to the contrary I intend to establish the category and then nominate this list for deletion. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:27, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
