It really depends on if there are interesting threads. Also, since being called a socialist I spend very little time on Mens Rights boards these days. There is a part of me that doesn't feel like I fit in anymore I suppose.

I spend about an hour a day on this forum but that is not the same (in my mind) as an hour of online ACTIVISM, unless one counts talking about men's issues with men collectively and individually, "activism." Offline is another story...I have the advantageous position of having a job that allows me to be active with regard to men's concerns in a variety of ways...individually with male clients, with law enforcement (police), probation departments, department of corrections, social services such as family courts, CPS, DCFS, CASA, DSHS, and families, directly. So in my view, what I do here is gather information and what I do offline is use what information I've gathered in order to try to help make a difference in peoples' lives. Occasionally here, I also try and help individuals with certain types of issues, but I find that it does not work well to do that in an online medium. Still, I try. I'll keep trying. I am persistent like that...sometimes to the point of frustrating others or becoming frustrated myself. One must stop and remember just to breathe.....I get paid for the work I do (offline). The work I do online I do because I have a passion for it. It's never really done......

I don't know what you mean, but I have resolved to only have sex once a month this year, and I have already used up my rations till september in the first few days..

Some people spend a lot of time here. I know I do.

But when the site shows that 'Percy is on', I sometimes am not. I leave it on and do other things quite often then come back an hour later to see if someone has added something to a discussion.

I think Tera has done a great deal on this site, not only contributing at a prodigious rate (10000 posts !! in half the time it took me to do 9000 !!) but in her generous attitude to even the most rabid of critics here and the lessons she shows us in asking the 'hard' questions, making us all think hard and hone our arguements. That and the sterling work she has done to 'correct' a lot of agitprop in her workplace.

How the time is spent, of course, matters. I would be happier if some people who post here actually did some 'action' work, even if just on the net. The opportunity and support is here. This site is awash with first class information and news that could be turned to good use in videos and podcasts, emails to Editors and TV stations, and pamphlets to spread around.

I am not here trying to blow my trumpet, but rather encourage others to choose where to put effort and do it.

And tell us about it.

That encourages others.

I was pleased in the past six months to have worked with John Dias. He simply asked. I gave him around 100 hours of hard work at his direction on a project that he has spent many, many hundreds more on. I have also produced 12 podcasts in the past year and worked on two videos, which with the researching, writing, editing and recording must have consumed another 100 hours at least. Then there are the articles for MRm! and all the emails to editors that must amount to several hours a week.

To my mind there is much that we 'hermits' / nerds / angry young men / knackered old shits / and such types with a computor can do even if climbing buildings is out of the question.

And if anyone has a project that they think I could lend a hand with, just ask. (I am picky, mind you!).

yes percy, again.. I second this..

I think incog has done good work in her time here, although she has clearly been the centre of a lot of destractive crap from folk who dont like her take or whatever..

Strangely, I dont necessarily agree with her "take" but for some reason, we can agree to differ, as all the best folk can..

I will not mention any names, but some folk do absolutely nothing of the remotest value to contribute to anything activism minded, and post nothing other than destractive off topic crap..

These folk can be largely ignored, but it seems they are largely NOT ignored, sadly.. And some of these destrators post a lot..

But they are an overhead to anyone who is serious about activism, sometimes they even seem to be actively AGAINST activism!

There is a lot of time being spent by folk, it would be good to see something good come from it I think..

I spend obscene amounts of time on this webpage. I said maybe 20-40 hours at the top (my guess being 4 hours a day or so) but honestly I don't know - it could be a hell of allot more. I work from home for the most part, yelling at people on the phone or working on spreadsheets and so on; pricelists and other junk I won't bore you over. All in all I probably only do about 20 solid hours of work a week, which is to say working to the point where I cannot be doing anything else. Then maybe another 15-20 hours of 'waffle' type work where I'm not doing anything that's so important I couldn't be doing something else 'on the side,' so I spend allot of time here, or on various other MRA type places.

I don't actually do anything online, if by 'do' you mean activism. My main point, my focus in this place, and in others, is to get my head straight on certain topics. The more I learn in places like this, the more I can do in my real life. That said, I don't actually engage in 'personal' activism, but I do throw money at things which I like the look of. I'm in a fix, as some of you know, if I did engage in personal activism, then I wouldn't have any money anymore to throw at stuff and I don't think that's the best way for me to spend my time.

Consider this.

I take money from women; most of whom are the kind of waffle-brained upper-middle class women who are into all the things we hate, and I then redirect that money into men's causes. So it's a two-pronged attack. I'll admit that, at the moment, my monetary contributions are small; nothing to boast about, and the organizations I'm giving them too aren’t exactly 'MRA Central,' in fact I give primarily to organizations which help men, at this point, regardless of ideology (allot of them are religious or simple charity organizations with no particular agenda) because there are just no salient MRA concerns here that I can find which I agree with and am willing to pledge my faith to. I mean let me put it this way. If somebody in Sydney started, say, a 'men's party' like - a political party - and they were straight up, like it wasn't a joke but they were no shit gunning for it I'd walk right down to their office and I'd donate every piece of disposable income I've saved over the last six or so years; I'd then continue to pledge money on a monthly basis, whatever I could afford to. No such party exists however.

I have a fairly erudite lifestyle and I'm not a 'big spender' so I save allot. I tell you when I eventually do find a salient organization I can get behind, they will receive a hearty boon.

In the meantime I'm focused on trying to think of some other means whereby I can make my money, something that is not so dependant upon women so that when the hour comes I can hopefully shake off this crap; it's not easy though. Also, I'm in no rush because at the moment I don't perceive 'the hour' to have come, and I'd rather be requisitioning money from women for the cause than from men.

I have always considered "time is money" in many regards and that money can buy time, and time is worth money..

It would be indeed a strange twist if money earned from women was to be directed into mens causes!

Even better, because the direction would be voluntary, and not via the state theif!

Maybe you aught to consider stating your views on the issues that matter to you the most Dad Sav, relating to the cause.

You may be surprised to learn that perhaps there are folk who are already thinking along the lines you would be, I know for sure that an attempt has been made in the UK to set up a mens party, and as far as I know it, there is also an "equal parenting" party..
