1	What are some things I can do to help homeless men specifically? Start by acknowledging that the homelessness problem is largely a mental health and drug addiction crisis. Currently, many states having a housing first policy that doesn't require the addicted and disturbed to get sober and enter psychotherapy in order get housing, all of which fuels the cycle. If we're to start making progress on this front, we've got to start agitating for changes to these policies, and a greater emphasis on helping this population to help themselves, rather than giving them …	/r/MensRights	13/10/22 08:19 PM
1	Why do guys even try with women anymore? Same reason we read The Leadership Challenge, Greene's 48 Laws Of Power, Jeff Pfeiffer's book on the same subject, Voss's Never Split The Difference, Leil Lowndes's How To Talk To Anyone...everything that can strengthen the chances of fulfilling our desires for getting ahead in careers and gaining more power and influence out in the world, even though we all know that there will be failures and disappointments along the way Not making the effort is a recipe for ending up on the margins of civili…	/r/MensRights	13/10/22 02:12 PM
1	Nothing will change. Ever. That wherever we stand today for men's rights in society is because of our fellow male members only. Sorry, not men, but I should call them simps of our community. Paul Elam(the most famous MRA on the planet)and his imitators have taught lots of folks to label anyone who dares to not agree with them entirely a "simp", much in the same way feminists taught lots of folks to label any woman who doesn't go along with their ideology a "penis panderer". That's had the effect of driving away the vast m…	/r/MensRights	13/10/22 12:52 PM

5	Teach boy to cry We've been doing this since the 70s at least, with the advent of The Sensitive Man as exemplified by Alan Alda. Chicks themselves inevitably react by creating characters like Christian Grey and Massimo from 365 Days, then salivating over them. Hell, in the not too distant past, characters like Don Draper and Raylan Given were a reaction to the overgrown adolescents who were mistaken for heroes in Judd Apatow's movies Teaching guys to burst into tears at the drop of a hat, then mistaking this for…	/r/MensRights	12/10/22 07:48 PM

1	Dr Rick Bradford looks at James Damore's (in)famous Google memo that got him fired, with a critique of a reaction to it. Includes a well-referenced appendix detailing discussion & research findings regarding sex differences of various types.

2	Single dad 'sleepless' with fears mental health will plummet as costs soar \| ITV News Stores like this provide us with still more incentive to stop approaching "men's issues" as something that exists separately from the problems which ail our civilizations more broadly. In the case of this story, the economy and costs of living soaring, thanks to billions being spent on things which fail to do the most good for the most people. In the case of The UK and many other European nations, cradle to the grave benefits are just compounding problems like the cost of fuel	/r/MensRights	11/10/22 02:42 PM

The notion of being against men's rights as a concept could be beneficial to us, albeit not in the way feminists and The Woke Left more broadly generally imagine.

We are supporting censorship for wrongthink now? That's been going on within The MRM and The Manosphere more broadly for awhile now. Card-carrying MRAs and Generically Red Pill folk screeching "Blue Pill!!!" whenever someone utters something they find disagreeable is the sort of social suppression that The Woke Left perpetrates, when they attempt to silence anyone who challenges the tenets of Critical Race Theory and Third Wave Feminism by screeching "Problematic!!!"

4	Thankfully Reddit has stepped up enforcement and has been cracking down on hate this year. However, there has been an unprecedented uptick in femcel extremism that is continuously being ignored. There's an entirely separate and more invigorating conversation to be had here about the corruption of language that's rampant in our culture these days: Silencing anyone who dares to utter words we find objectionable in some way is now disguised as "Cracking down on hate", and praised as virtuous act. This is akin to the demented thinking one finds among The Woke Left, wherein Will Smith smacking Chris Rock in the face for making a joke while hosting The Oscars(there's no mistaking this for bei…	/r/MensRights	11/10/22 01:15 PM

Includes a well-referenced appendix detailing discussion & research findings regarding sex differences of various types. From 2017, but the issues & research remain relevant today One has to wonder also: If a a female employee at Google wrote a memo expressing the thought that men are often more clumsy when caring for infants, and that we often don't really come into our own as parents until kids can walk, speak a little bit, and display some semblance of personality, would the most prominent figures in The MRM be willing to engage with her intellectually? Or would they have a meltdown, start screeching "Gynocentrism!!!", and call for this chick to be fired and cancelled,…	/r/MensRights	11/10/22 01:07 PM
1	World mental health day: why the World Health Organisation (WHO) should be more positive about masculinity — The Centre for Male Psychology That all operates under the assumption that we needed WHO to do all of those things. This is the sort of thinking that goes into believing that the nation will sink into chaos if we didn't have more federal law enforcement organizations than can be counted, or that we'd be having daily 9/11s, if we didn't have The Intelligence Industrial Complex Next time, take a couple of deep breaths, and think about what you're about to say before you start hurling invective like "Dim bozo" at someone who dar…	/r/MensRights	11/10/22 12:49 PM
1	We should start making petitions! Are you in The US then? If so, here are four subjects that we can go door to door in our neighborhoods and communities for, none of which need to be framed as gendered problems but all of which will have the side effect of reducing many of the problems which disproportionately harm men: Getting drugs decriminalized, abolishing most forms of welfare in favor of putting current and would be recipients into legit work+providing vocational training to those who want it, making vocational training mo…	/r/MensRights	11/10/22 09:09 AM

5	We should start making petitions! We need to be more active in the world otherwise things will get worse. Very true. Those petitions you propose will need to be in writing on paper and signed by a substantial number of our fellow citizens in reality. Online petitions have no credibility.

Everyone's just treading water and not overly interested in activism, thus we won't see much progress until we start making "men's problems"(alimony included)into American problems. Going forward, it may be to our advantage to also put the few cases of of rich women getting bilked by the courts after the end of a marriage front and center in our campaign for abolishing this particular practice.

No ideology, except for The Red Pill, which has gone from a little harmless slang to a full blown religion. Carl Benjamin's points were the sort of facile shit one used to hear out of political talk radio back during it's heyday.

We've made a fatal error, by relying on women to ask "What can I do to be of service?", without us selling them on our goals. Hell, after about the first year of it's existence, The MRM ceased to have specific goals at all, in favor of emulating The Woke Left's fondness for regurgitating jargon and mulling over abstractions.

It's a real jump to go from "We men really don't have it all, just by virtue of being born male" to "Society itself is against us at every corner".

I'm not denying that we men often don't get sympathized with as readily as women do, especially young attractive women.

These boondoggles have been around since the late 60s, and they've failed to uplift those who are in need in any real way. This diminishes the effectiveness of our universities and corporations also.
