Now fully funded, thanks to the generosity of our readers!

I like the Honey Badgers, but it seems to me that they are starting to get more support than maybe they deserve. We've seen lots of money thrown at them from a community that really doesn't have a whole lot of money to spend. When we gave money to Cassie Jaye to help fund a documentary, there was huge return on investment. I believe Dean Esmay even got money for a tooth, which would've improved the image of the MRM considerably at the time if he did indeed get his tooth fixed. But now all this money keeps going to the Honey Badgers for really what is a relatively low impact.

The Honey Badgers are asking for $13,500 to go to Australia. Is this really necessary? Couldn't men and/or the MRM be better improved by putting this money elsewhere? Couldn't the Honey Badgers themselves spend this money better? I mean, I'm not even trying to be unreasonable about this. $13,500 is a lot of money, and all of these people are starting to be sent all over the world. It seems more like a vacation than an improvement of the MRM. And I have to say, the way they went to one of "The Red Pill" documentaries and got incredibly drunk was extremely unprofessional. They were slurring their words, being incredibly inappropriate, etc.

Few groups/people get as much of a benefit from these mod stickies than the Honey Badgers. I would encourage the mods to really think about if all this money spent is really in the best interest of the MRM at this point, and is really a good way to spend the money within the community of the MRM. Or, is this unreasonable spending that has almost no impact on the MRM at this point. I'll probably get a lot of hate, but I think I'm raising reasonable questions, and I think the MRM could help guide the Honey Badgers into a more productive itinerary. /u/MRmod3 /u/AnnArchist /u/AloysiusC /u/typhonblue /u/FFXIV_Machinist /u/theothermod /u/mensmod /u/rMensRights

Just to let everybody visiting here know - since this post, we have nearly doubled the number of supporters, and more than tripled the amount pledged. Thank you all, and keep it up! - u/DaNiceguy

That's in just two days! Our subreddit has some good potential.

Somewhat unrelated. Why honey badger?

Well, I hope they make it down under. However, I also hope we get back to conferences being held in North America. The vast majority of MRA's are in Canada and the U.S. Fine, a couple conferences abroad to show and gather support, but it's not realistic for most to travel to Australia. I've been while in the military though, and it was very nice.

I miss their old business model. :(

Does this mean they finished the Calgary thing? I want to see them get back the money for trip 1 before doing trip 2.

I am a little confused by the information on the page. My apologies if I prove to be a derp who missed obvious and clearly stated information. Melbourne has been mentioned a few times, but then it says this is all in the Gold Coast and Sydney. I'm in Melbourne, I was interested in getting a ticket or whatever if there is something going on here. Can anyone lend me some guidance?
