Update: I googled “Institute for Men”. It’s a prison in California.

Surprisingly here in Denmark, the womens center for homelessness is state funded whereas the male center for domestic violence and homelessness is privately funded. This makes it all so political. Like men can’t be voting for a social party. Its fucked up.

I advise all activists to join MHRAconnect which is a site designed for organizing projects such as this. It's small right now, but active members will build it up.

When you sign up, please browse the other projects to see if you are interested.

Edit: I'm thinking about posting a sticky thread to help people who are looking for others in their local area, or topic of interest. Ideally MHRAconnect should serve that purpose, but it seems that posts on the sub attract more attention.

Bless you for being a good person

I like your personal approach. i.e. first put your own (local) house in order. I think it's 100% correct.

In the big picture ideally more people like you would do the same thing, and the common sense would return. However I think that without a cultural framework this rarely works.

I used to be of the opinion that taking back academia and reestablishing basic facts was the path forward, but the human mind does not work like that. Historically the only thing really proven to end mass hysteria is lawsuits. e.g. the Salem witch hunts, the red scare, the satanic child sacrifice panic of the 80/90s, the pedophilia hysteria, etc.

So my suggestion would be to find an area you really care about -- for example family law -- and help someone bring legal action. The closer to home, the better.

EDIT On a national scale the National Coalition for Men is bringing lawsuits.

There are many things you can do. You can work with Movember. You can raise funds or awareness for Prostate Cancer. Or Testicular Cancer. You can donate blood or plasma (this isn't purely for men, but this is very much needed). You can work with local lawmakers to help with injustices men face, such as selective service and male genital integrity. You can reach out to the military, ask them about local services for veterans - you can volunteer for this. The same with aged care - volunteer. The same with any Men's Health Organisation. Check with your library about local volunteer organisations. Do some website searches on this. And if you need some information - the sidebar will offer you a great start.

IMO it's absurd that prenups are seen as this optional accessory rather than the norm. Marriage is a contract; individual couples should be forced to think through the implications of that contract.

Monogamy ought to be a term of the marriage you proactively choose, not be considered normal and mandatory. Renewable, time-limited marriages should be an option. There are obviously different models of fairness regarding alimony and child-rearing; there should be maybe 3ish options for how couples want to commit to resolving those going in.

And if coming to agreement about those things fails and wrecks the relationship, they've probably made some future divorce lawyer a little less rich.

Watch or get other people to watch the movie "The Red Pill" from Cassie Jaye to raise awareness (http://theredpillmovie.com/)

It's currently available on amazon prime "for free". Also make sure to write a review if you've liked it

HOW CAN I HELP?

General Answer (for your consideration):

What if men started donating to research men's birth control? What if men had almost complete control over our own reproduction? No more "accidents", no more being manipulated for 20+ years of servitude.

I think the best thing that anyone can do is to keep spreading the word. Awareness is always step one. Once people are aware of the issues, they can advocate for change.

Right now, men's rights actvists are often viewed as bitter, jealous, or whatever. We need to legitimize the movement, and that means explaining our issues to the public in a way that people can relate to.
