Regarding what the MRM should be doing:
And real activism: organizing demonstrations
Done. And we will do it again. Hello the movement for disbarment of Mary Kellett: http://www.avoiceformen.com/2011/05/11/live-update-on-the-movement-to-disbar-mary-kellett-in-maine/
setting up hotlines, volunteering to assist, for example, male victims of DV; raising money to build shelters for men or to support organizations that work on issues that affect men (eg, Just Detention)
We already offer support for men, there are many online sources for men today because of our efforts, and I've personally helped men online and in real life. Even Reddit/MensRights has links to forums for divorced men to get help.
Of course, when the government is unwilling to fund domestic violence organizations that help men, not just women, it's a bit difficult to help the very common male victims of violence. That's why I've donated to SAVE.org, which is pushing for making domestic violence shelters accountable, and ensuring that they help REAL victims.
Have you donated to SAVE?
becoming involved in local politics, organizing boycotts in a real and practical way, lobbying the government, etc etc.
We are already doing so. And the activism will only expand. You may be in denial. I will be advocating in my state capitol soon, and there are others who will be advocating in Washington.
We are few today, and many tomorrow.
And most importantly, we are ENOUGH.
And we will not shut up.
Why? Because justice is our motto.
