I have progress to report kind of. And constructive criticisms of this sub and how to DO stuff. We CAN make change.

In general I hate groups. They start off great then you dig a bit and oh…oh no.

Like for eg I was left wing then I found out about far left then I found myself as centre left and even they could be bad. Still am centre left but I dislike all political groups lol.

Bill Burr talks about this in his latest special. I recommend everyone in this sub (and just men especially in general) please look up Bill Burr. This man has been overtly anti-feminist for decades whilst being really genuinely funny and being a success. Watch his latest netflix special. Still going strong.

He pretty much is a LWMA. One of our best. What really shocked me about he is on record saying men’s rights groups are cringe. It was offhand but even still I was like ooh ok. Our marketing isn’t good enough if even an ally is put off.

I think he is put off because MRAs can be too whiny and in general he hates that.

This group is pretty amazing all considered but my gripe (always is one) is how defeatist and cynical it is. That’s the shame about men’s rights and redpill etc is that it made some good points but then it would be like and we are stuck like this with no way out and all this badness is inevitable and never changing. No. Do not do that.

It causes a depressing hopeless mentality and what that tells me is some of them are only in it to find other cynics. Not to help.

We have to have hope. Do not tell me it cannot be done. Slavery was overturned as was Jim Crow etc.

So here is my 2 cents on what to do:

stop the cynicism. DO something.

I have in past few months:

emailed countless politicians about male domestic abuse wrote opinion article for my uni paper* Complained to the BBC about misandry** sent opinion articles to guardian and financial times

*did not go through. Typical response. You guys warned me. I was openly anti feminist and message was basically I care about men’s mental health but you can’t criticise feminism-it is about equality. LWMA told me as much but I didn’t believe them. This is why I am here. You guys help me.

**I got a response. I may make another post about it.

This is what I mean. You can and should try. Ok I failed. But other times I did not. But I planted the seed. If we all did that…we would do something. They would have to listen. It’s why I love thetinmen he does stuff

I’m starting my journey as a freelance journalist and sent stuff off about all sorts-left wing misandry is one and another is about toxic masculinity. Ok I may well be rejected. But I WILL try. Imagine I do it. Imagine it gets published. If I do idc I’ll dox myself to you guys so we can pop champagne to it. I am being too hopeful? Yeah. But imagine it.

Other thing you can do is money. I donated to Mankind today. Brilliant male domestic abuse charity. If you want to help, please donate.

LWMA is better than most. Redpill was properly bad cynicism. Men’s rights too can be. LWMA has a progress flair so we are good but we can be better and most of all if anyone will listen just do stuff and try. Be the change you want to see.
