Next steps?

I think we should set up a website that provides an easy platform for men's rights groups to advertise themselves to potential new members (such as people from this subreddit). It would be like a global directory of said groups and so would allow people to find a group near to them and support it, and allow people to found new groups and recruit members.

It would be especially useful for creating groups on university campuses, where we may be able to combat some of the radical-feminist indoctrination that goes on there, and stick up for men who usually will face a hostile attitude from the student union.

However, at the moment there are probably not enough MRAs (and affiliated people) to do this effectively, but we are growing. We need as much publicity as possible (even people hating on us is better than nothing) to raise awareness of us and gain new members.

BTW, as to this website, I have not the skills or the money to do that, but I'm sure someone does.

This subreddit is a discussion forum, and is limited by the fact that it is not independent. Everything we do here is subject to reddit rules, and breaking those rules can lead to banning.

Reddit is what it is - a great place for discovering, learning and debating about issues. But it is not a platform for activism. It was never meant to be one.

So, the next step is to join or create independent organisations in the real world, which can act without being bound by those rules.

The next step is to move from talking in the digital world to actually acting in the real world.

AVFM just held The First International Conference on Men and Boys. Going to or donating to this even is the next step. They are already planning next year's conference.

KSU Men is doing fund raising to hold a conference on boys in education at KSU. Donate to and/or attend this event.

You and I and most other people don't have the time/money/know how/support to host events of our own. We have no clue how to even start a shelter for abused men even if we have the money to do so. The next step is to attend and support the events and such that support Men's Rights.

Everyone talking about acting in the real world: Yes. If you live in or near St Louis (USA), drop me a line. I've already started... just need more people.

We're not ready for that yet. We need to grow first. Which we're doing.

Team,

I love the response. Great ideas. There is no lack of energy here.

I understand that reddit is not the place to get things organized. I belive that I can come up with some links to resources that can help get things going.

Stay tuned.
