I am a 14 year old boy, and I want to join the men's right movement.

I have recently decided to work towards becoming a lawyer

You're in for a tough climb. Hit the books hard, stay in control, and network, network, network because grades alone won't land you a job in that industry. You have to know the right people.

Honestly, a lot of the stuff in the MRM could really warp the worldview of someone your age (especially the father's rights stuff if your parents aren't together). There are a lot of people in the MRM who have been hurt...badly...and you are likely too young to put their words in their proper context...regardless of how bright you may be.

Focus on your studies, and avoid questionable situations that could jeopardize your future (like drunken hookups). Once you're a bit older, come back and check out what the MRM is doing. Be a kid for a bit longer, because despite all the bullshit of childhood (people telling you what to do, etc.), you'll regret not enjoying it once it's gone.

If you're interested in joining a movement, consider the skeptic movement. Learning how to think skeptically, spot fallacious arguments, etc. will not only provide a defense against ANY deceptive tactics used social movement (including some of those within the MRM), but would also help you work towards becoming a lawyer.

It terrifies me that young people are getting their worldviews from Reddit instead of picking them up based on life and their experiences... Please, Mike, don't think that the VERY OPINIONATED content on reddit is representative of the way all people think and behave. Form your own opinions!

Nutella_for_life · 2012-01-12T14:10:45+00:00

As an mrm-oriented aspiring lawyer, you need to study feminism (not buy it, but study it) As you've probably been told, know your enemy's arguments, so that you can counter them.

MonsieurPaul · 2012-01-12T07:42:33+00:00

Howdy.

While there is sexism, your main goal should be to observe these anomolies in society and protect yourself. Many people are not even aware some of these things happen.

Being so young the best advice I can give you is avoiding psycho women and noticing the red flags and taking a step back. Also, always wear a condom.

You still control your own life and it's destiny, but being better prepared to reduce your risk exposure should be priority number one so you can worry less and enjoy the happy positive things in life instead of harping on what is wrong with it.

Family Court is a public place, go down and sit in the family court. Just sit there and watch how men are treated, you will never be the same again. Get; Myth of Male power, by Dr. Warren Farrell. Last but not least; STAY THE FUCK OUT OF AUSTRALIA!!!

No matter what you hear here, remember that your own logic is the only thing that you can rely on, and even then, question it constantly. It's nice to be part of a "movement" because it gives you some initial confidence, but don't let anybody ever tell you WHAT to think.

AryoBarzan · 2012-01-12T08:24:07+00:00

And here comes the next generation of the MRM! I can say that I am very pleased to meet you, Mike. Anything associated with the MRM and MRA-related has been created to help combat the radical feminists. There are multiple groups which you can see on the right hand side under 'shout-outs'.

i was a communist when i was 14

Nutella_for_life · 2012-01-12T13:03:05+00:00

Alright, I am sure some of you may disagree, but aspiring to become a lawyer seems counterproductive to mens rights activism. Lawyers seek to make as much money as they can out of legal disputes, so of course their primary target is the most productive and high earning members of society, which are predominately men.

Also, I do not believe anyone should be combating feminism in general, but rather the misguided parts of the movement. Focus more on mens rights, and the segments of feminism that attempt to prevent men from having the same rights as women do.

Hi,

Thanks for coming by young man, and excellent work learning about the world your entering.

At your age I too knew what profession I would enter and did that, again, it shows your maturity.

Learn what you can from us older guys, your experience and learn as much as you can in school.

There is a world of change that will be required to fix the disaster that is feminism.

I'm sure you see the destruction all around you....it's the world of 14 year olds that is hell today.

Your taking up a good cause.

Thanks.

Just educate yourself on both sides of issues. It is important for you to hear from also a feminist perspective to educate yourself. The key to becoming smart and informed on an issue is to be open-minded and search for answers everywhere you can, even if you don't agree with what someone is saying in the beginning it can help your thinking grow and you might even find you were wrong about some beliefs you had.

Do not fight against, fight towards. Fight towards equality

mikesteane · 2012-01-12T08:42:38+00:00

Good on you. You will find having a very clear motivation the way you have stated it will make the work a lot easier. The hardest thing is knowing what you want. Follow this motivation and get your law degree. Then, even if your attitudes and motivations are different, you will have obtained a qualification which will give you a big salary without getting your hands dirty. And you will have done it the easiest way, all difficult choices being simplified by the end goal.

It may be wise however, to stick to saying things like "I see it as a good, reliable career choice" when doing interviews.

Well, it's getting late. I will be back tomorrow!

Don't be too outspoken, just be careful especially in matters of consent.

Nutella_for_life · 2012-01-12T08:50:29+00:00

Wow, you're starting young.

Congrats on seeing the world as it is. Don't know about groups and such, but call out any sexism you see in a calm and rational manner, and you'll do just fine.

Nutella_for_life · 2012-01-12T10:08:34+00:00

you're 14, worry about skateboards and passing your classes. wait until you're in college to worry about that stuff.

memymineown · 2012-01-12T18:26:36+00:00

Study study study. This is the most important. Work your butt off in school.

Depending on which university you go to, do not reveal your Men's Rights leanings. They will be used against you.

Volunteer at a Men's shelter.

Make sure you don't get on a sex offender list before you ever become a lawyer. Adolescent sex laws and age of consent is a mine field.

Don't bother with it by the time you are 24 years old this Feminist Society will have already collapsed one way or the other.

Learn Chinese, or Arabic, don't come in this forum it will only ruin your day, everyday.

you should probably keep your butt glued to a chair from here on out...

Wow! Why do you want to join the men's rights movement? What is your motivation?
