    What the average MRA can (should) do...

    Keep in mind that I am new to the movement and this is just my opinion on what average MRA Joe can do, without spending amounts of money or chaining himself to the parliament in a Batman costume (which is of course good to do, too)

    1.) Live it
    -> whenever you see injustice against men in your life, get treated unfairly because of your gender, see something on TV that hurts you. Say
    something. Now I donīt think you should storm into a group of protesting radical lesbians all by yourself, just let the people arround you (friends, girlfriends, family, colleagues) know what you think about this, so that they will notice misandry themselves when they see it and start questioning this misandric society

    2.) Get political
    -> Accoring to Marc Rudolph this makes you a MRA. Write your Congressman / local politican. Ask them what they are doing on MRA related topics. Critisize anti-male laws and agendas. You just need the internet for doing this. If we all do this, we canīt be ignored.

    3.) Online activity
    -> Marc Rudolph thinks this is not important if you stay anonym. I donīt think so. Mainstream media is biased. Magazines, newspaperss and TV is gynocentric. But the Internet is a form of MSM we can influence. Whenever you see malebashing or MRA bashing, comment. Let people know that there isnīt only feminism. Let them know how we think and what we want to change. Spread the word, but be polite and logical. Give our opponents a hard time and let others see what the agenda of MRAs is. People will notice.

    In General my advice is:
    - Spread the word
    - Talk to politicans
    - be polite, logic, well informed

    Well that is it. And that is what I am doing and preparing to do (I am not political active but that will change soon)...

    What do you think?

    Sounds like down to Earth, realistic and practical advice. In all, a well written summary. There is of course much more to cover, but it's definately a good start to keep the simple things in mind.

    Re: What the average MRA can (should) do...

    I always forget something....

    Keep in mind that the average feminist does not do this. Most of all feminists are not political involved. And most of them just use feministic blabla without data to back them up. That means with the amount of data we have here, we can easily dismantle them. And our arguments are so strong that certain topics canīt be denied. People will read, learn and probably change their minds.

    We have a long way to go, but I already feel the tide changing. People are noticing misandry. Newspapers a printing articles on our topics. People are taking action. Feminists are worrying. Just keep on going!

    Re: What the average MRA can (should) do...

    1 -
    I think, the first important point is to work on yourself, to see yourself as what as you are by Western view: a 2nd class citizen.

    Try to have a happy and secure life nevertheless, regulate your own situation, especially housing, job and money. Do not expect anybody will help you with that, you are a man, and not a woman. Be a bit mistrusting and selfish.

    2 -
    It is useful to have an own small blog, and link to other forums and MRA-blogs. Feminists are afraid of the internet, afraid of information moving around. Feminists are clearly into censorship. MRAs are not.

    3 -
    Try to collect about your own country as much legal information as you can, put that online in forums and your own blog. Western laws are made to fuck you up totally, but are rather different from country to country.

    4 -
    Try to travel overseas a little bit, especially if you are from the USA, to get a better view of this world. Visit other countries...consider moving away, consider later on retirement somewhere else.

    Re: What the average MRA can (should) do...

    years ago Arab slave traders traipsed across Africa and kidnapped anybody they could for sale up river

    the moral of this is stay away from people who want to enslave you that is only a fool African denizen would have stayed to gaze and wonder at the caravan with slaves in shackles passing by to the dhows by the river

    I believe us older guys should advise young men who are the slightest bit interested about the confidence trick and trap which is the western marriage contract

    young men should promote their interests outside of the peonage marriage juggernaut -

    maybe guided tours through the Family Courts proceedings and especially in the sub basement where the feminit blacksmith fastens the peonage ball and chain shackle ( totally invisible) on to the ankles of another feminit slave

    Young men such as you Feckless are our future. The MRM's future. Our civilisation's future.

    You read, learn, use good sense and humour and give hope.

    You are among the few that looks at themselves.

    No one seems to listen to the old men.

    Re: What the average MRA can (should) do...

    I have seen more a few people say things like "debating with a feminist is futile".

    I want to ask these people (those who wish to answer anyway):

    If debating with a feminist is futile, what do you do when you find yourself debating with a feminist (unplanned) on a general forum?

    Do you walk away?

    First determine the sort of feminist that they are. It takes time and patience. It is not worthwhile if they are unmoveable. It is worthwhile if they learn the truth. Some people call themselves feminists when they don't in fact know what they are. It is just a habit of mind and can be changed. Sometimes.

    You see, I ask this because any MRA who has called out a male bashing comment on a general forum has likely come face to face with a feminist. If you walk away, she wins or so I see it.

    Don`t walk away. Be polite, logic and well informed. Even if you canīt change her, other people will read this and will see that there is another side than those feminist view all arround us.

    Right and if you walk away, YOU throw in the towel and she wins. All those watching will just assume that you (an MRA) can't counter the feminist truth.

    I seriously doubt MRA's walk away, it's in our blood to stand and fight. Yet, so many say "it's futile", I think they are fooling themselves.

    Re: What the average MRA can (should) do...

    Very good comments, Feckless. Straightforward, to the point and sound.

    I had drafted a long reply but lost the blasted thing when I tried to preview it, and I don't have the time or energy just now to redraft it all. Instead I will just summarise: one further important and easy thing all MRAs can do. Kick back at the male-bashers in the advertising industry and the unthinking corporations that employ them. Every time you see it happening, write or email the manufacturer and tell them that you won't be buying any of their products any more. And tell them exactly why. Let them know that you see no reason why you should pay money to people who insult and belittle their prospective customers. This is simple logic that they cannot deny and will make them think.

    It's important we all do this, and keep doing it.

    Re: What the average MRA can (should) do...

    I'd also suggest that people also try to protect their identy when campaigning, particualrly those in countries where the governements are being taken over by feminists (e.g UK, Australia etc).

    This means witholding your number when cmpaing about something over the phone, using a false name for campainging etc.

    People like us who know the truth about issues such a Domestic Violence, rape, the family courts and discrimination against men have the potential to cause incredible embrassment to certian feminist groups and government ministers and thus we represent a huge threat to their power.

    If any of us were to become particualrly sucessful in our compaigning I've no doubt that eiother the government, or merely just angry feminists would try to harass us or make our lives unpleasant in some way.
