It recently came up in discussion that there isn't a good website to send newcomers. A Voice For Men, Owning Your Shit, etc. are great but they assume you're already on board. For many people the concept of the Men's Rights Movement is entirely foreign.
I thought I'd put something together that gave a basic FAQ and linked all the online resources. I wanted it to be straightforward and simple to navigate.
How did I do?
The information presented is essentially the /r/MR FAQ (copied and pasted with permission). The sidebar links as many resources as I could think of, feel free to suggest additions!
The primary benefits of a site like this, in my opinion, are:
A) A central resource of relevant information, and
B) A memorable URL to add to promotional materials such as posters (the URL is MensRightsAreHumanRights.com).
Edit: For the time being please view it at www.mensrightsarehumanrights.blogspot.com, it's taking a while to display the most recent changes.
Edit: Okay, the sidebar is inexplicably gone and I have to go cook dinner. Rest assured that there are lots of great links! Urgh. I've used Blogger for years but I don't know what the problem is.

I wouldnt put false accusations as the first point. It is controversial as many people automatically assume you are a rape apologist and it isnt as widespread in other countries as it is in the US. I would lead with fathers rights or circumcision as it is a more moderate issue that most people have no arguments with and lead from there.
I also dont see the need to mention feminism and anti feminism at all. It is an intro to the MRM and it should focus solely on mens issues, many people looking to engage with gender rights are sympathetic to feminism and view anti feminism as a group of guys who want 'the good old days' back. Let people decide their own views of feminism when they get deeper into the movement, I dont think it needs to be discussed right at the start
