What do you do in your daily life to stand up for men's rights?

theothermod · 2017-11-15T07:08:49+00:00

I moderate a men's rights forum. I keep an eye on four-minute-old accounts.

I research men's issues.
I approached a local public radio program and recently did a show with them on men's rights.
I have a spreadsheet with ongoing projects.
I email MPs regarding men's issues
I submit recommendations to government reviews.
I donate money to men's causes.
I ~~argue~~ discuss things with people on Facebook. I just got a message from a stranger thanking me for my calm and rational discussion regarding the pay gap.

I run an agency supporting men and run an array of projects. At an advocacy level I comment on legislation and policy when public consultation happens. I also set up and attend the odd men's issues conference. Then go back to the first line in this paragraph.

I also forced a government health programme that excluded men to include men, using it human rights legislation.

What I'm saying may not be helpful to you if you want to get more involved. If that is what you want from your question, then please ask for suggestions.

I think the best thing to do is to just talk to people. Tell your stories. Most people, if they were educated and had reliable facts, would support the men's rights movement.

I also e-mail businesses that are discriminating, for example by having a women's bathroom and a unisex bathroom, or by providing women's discounts. I have had mixed results with this, but several businesses have corrected the problem.

I work as a nurse, thereby inspiring and empowering other men and boys who so desperately need it. I also write "END THE DRAFT" in Sharpie on all of my paper money.

Too busy tending to the daily living needs of elderly/disabled veterans to worry about protesting.

I support men around the world by (micro) loaning them money through Kiva. It's slacktivism, but it's something.

never seen a protest happen in my country, but I suppose I tend to discus and debate men's issues with people when it's relevant.

So not much, but still some advocacy and awareness spreading I guess.

Protests are useful for publicity, but they don't tend to affect quality of change. Argument and rational presentation of research and legal failures tend to achieve more, Especially in this his volume Social Media Screeching age.

After a local radio host pronounced last year that "theres no such thing as International Mens Day", I have sent them daily reminders of this year`s observance...

Where applicable, I educate men about men's issues in my mental health practice. I keep the politics out though--just the neutral information pertinent to their situations.
