Is there anything worth-while that can be done today?

Are you very good at anything? Can you teach it to young boys without using shame as leverage? That'd be the place to start.

The school system works best for neurotypical girls. Boys and neurodivergent kids get shafted hard and so you might be in a unique position to help boys navigate the school system. If there is ANYTHING you can do to train or teach or help boys in school that would be my focus.

I do two things, pretty much every day. I advocate for specific change that I think is important, in my case the banning of male genital mutilation, and I enter into discourse to deradicalise people, either showing feminists that we all deserve love, respect, and recognition of our humanity or showing hate filled young men that there is another way. I can't change the world by myself, but I can have conversations that slowly shift the balance of perception.

Maybe the left need a kick from the men and a few lost elections to start paying attention.

I think proper organized activism is still a long ways off unfortunately, this is reddit so 99% of the people here would rather bitch about a problem than do anything. Which this also hold true for reddit's feminist and/or women's communities; for every one post with some helpful insight or talking about a non profit there are literally hundreds of "Every man needs to be put in a camp because I know every one that sees me on the street views me as an object that they could rape and there's nothing I can do about it."

I just try to be a good example, argue with the problematic MRAs, talk about men's issues when the room's receptive, try my best to steer my male friends away from the right wing vortex that's sucking them all in.

The problem with the last one is that I don't really have anything to offer them.

What I do is donate to charities like "National Parents Organization. Which is lobbying for equality in custody law.

Also, talking about equality for men in positive and engaging ways.

I'm pretty blackpilled about "moving forward towards a more healthy society" at this point.

Thing is, as nice as birth control is from an individual perspective, it's thrown off a very old and delicate balance.

For longer than we've been human, humanity has been adjusting to a biological situation where no one had more control over when they reproduced than they had over their own libido.

Now, we've suddenly started coming to terms with a technological situation where women's cold-light-of-day rational thinking is the final arbiter of when people pass on their genes.

Humans just aren't smart enough to quickly figure out what social checks and balances it will take to make that work even as well as the old way did, which isn't saying much. It could easily take thousands of years, and there are likely to be a lot of really ugly extremes of matriarchy and patriarchy along the way.
