Amazing how the message is similar everywhere. I looked for a Hong Kong Prifix but couldn't find one. Perhaps Admin should ad one. Also I think that we should invite our brothers there to join us here at AM like we did with those from India.

Good idea!


YouTube- The Pulse 13/11/2009: Men are not Strong as Steel - Men's Rights in Hong Kong?

This is how I got into all this coz I thought it was bad enough in the UK surely someone must do it better but as we know this is not the case although there is now a massive 'industry' invoved in lobbying for what a law maker could do with the stroke of a pen!

A few days ago, I discovered that there is a men's rights organisation in Singapore called Men's Association for Progress.

Disturbingly so.

The states maniacal pandering to gynocentrism crosses all cultures it seems. It's interesting how so many countries exert so much strategy and energy in financial investment, yet fail so miserably to provide even the most basic of legal rights and health provision for it's male citizens. Shouldn't promoting social harmony be the quintessence of any well-meaning and forward-thinking society? The greatest investment should be to the well-being of ALL it's citizens.

I noticed some of the male MPs laughing when the chap was presenting his case. It seems MRAs are not just fighting against chivalrous and kowtowed male MPs (as well as the default indifference by female MPs), but trying to give sufficient resonance to these inequities - to what is essentially prosperous politicians who'll never experience anything of the sort in their lifetime - makes it even more difficult.

Difference is, in oriental cultures, asian men are more group oriented, thus can more easily mobilize and combine forces for such goals.

This is an interesting observation. Seeing what I have seen with MRA groups in other places of the world besides the English speaking I have noticed a lack of shame and an emboldenment of MRA groups to mobilize. I think that we could learn allot from them and perhaps emulate their behavior.
Maybe there should be an international section on AM so posts can be made displaying efforts in other countries so we can learn from one another. I will post it in the suggestion section.

I've been trying to find a youtube clip of a program that was on last year: Victoria's Empire. It had Victoria Wood looking at the old British Empire and seeing what those countries are like today.

One interview was in Hong Kong with a woman who admitted that they (the women) were materialistic, and shallow, and lamented that men there were intimidated by them (and Ms Wood agreed), and they (the men) all went to other parts of China to get more traditional wives.

The link and reasoning was spectacularly absent.

The Hong Kong part of the series doesn't seem to be on youtube or Google Video.

It always makes me laugh how women mix up the words “intimidated” and “repulsed”

Crotchety Victoria Wood has been discreetly disseminating feminism for decades at the BBC with her abysmal comedy routines. You can't expect anything remotely resembling an objective social analyses with the likes of Wood or her ilk.

Indeed. Quite simply, contemplation of the latter is an unthinkable resultant possibility of many women's unrestrained bad behaviours - therefore a default response of "he must be intimidated" alleviates some painful introspection.

Another big difference is that the asian men, protest in a more peaceful and constructive manner. Whereas western men are more confrontational, E.G. father's 4 justice breaches the law in order to get attention with acrobatic stunts in weird places with super hero customes.

It would be better to do it like those men in Hong Kong.

@ Rohara

Outstanding find. And a great idea to invite them here. Like others, I am disturbed to see how similar it is over there, but MOST encouraged that they are speaking up.

I really do think we are starting to build a head of steam that won't be put down.

Vigilance!

Quote from Billy

It looks like the Hong Kong women display a similar unconcern along with same eye rolling that our western women show us when we have legitimate complaints.

I remember when the feminist steam roller got started in the 70's men everywhere were standing alongside women on their issues.

waaal 50% or so, would have paid a mountain of alimony and child maintenance for their lost children - if they were allowed to see their kids at XMas would have been a rare occasion
