I just feel like I should add: please don't take the above as preaching, because I know I am just as guilty for getting involved in those debates as anyone else here is. I've spent a lot of precious time arguing with others, trying to change people's minds...and I've been thinking that I've been wasting my time....

We rant away often looking at the issues that effect us men. We all agree that there are problems but before we can step into a certain direction we have to determine the root of the problem and find solutions. Without addressing the issues we can't create a solution.

Almost every radical feminist is liberal and pro homosexual like yourself Tera and then the majority of those who aren't radical have been influenced to think the same. It's not surprising that you most always disagree on those topics.

Yes, Tera, all the time you've spent trying to convert men to feminist beliefs is a total waste of your time.

What sites like AM do is to provide continuous information and conversation for thousands of drop in men who feel uneasy about the world around them but don't know that there are thousands of others. Its what feminists used to call "raising consciousness." A web site like AM spreads information about many topics and speaks the truth about feminist hate all the time. It allows young men in colleges such as the one you attend to have other sources than the misandrist professors and hate-men teaching they get every day. It allows older men an opportunity to figure out what has been so bad with their lives.

But sites like AM do not provide serious action agendas and aren't structured to do so.

Some good points Tera.

I'd say if we spent less time immersed in endless meaningless threads, and banded together as a well versed and rehearsed MRA auxiliary jumping on such campaigns (those who are so inclined), and hitting the opposition hard before they gather any effective momentum - we'd be better serving the talents of many good members here who'd otherwise just become increasingly frustrated.

Furthermore, by casting our energies outwards and working together towards a common goal, I dare say a good deal of the unecessary bickering and animosity - that has occured recently on the forum will 'mostly' evaporate. Well that's the theory anyway.

Given the increasing size of the forum, and the time restrictions of certain members, many members may not stumble upon such worthy campaigns until days or weeks later, or not at all.

So I'd ask Karl, is there something within the forums technical capability that could imitate a sturdy battlehorn (instant PM style messages popping up on screen for example), to muster the troops into action as a unified force whenever any such campaign is still in it's infancy?

That's a great idea!

what happened to your hippie, TERA

Sounds like you're talking about something like this page:
http://antimisandry.com/campaigns.html

It's not quite what you're after, but it gives an overview of current campaigns, media interest and activism.

Other than that, the 'notices' frame could be used more effectively.

Karl can a person IM multiple people at once with these notices as well?

Looks like the judge in the case died a few weeks ago:
