A Letter to Men

You know, I think it is human nature to be apathetic towards something until it affects them personally.

I am pretty sure the feminist groups would say the same thing about women, and deride those who don't actively take part. But appeals to fear and emotion aren't necessarily the most effective way at gaining support. I would rather the ranks of MRAs are filled with knowledgeable, intelligent, and well spoken people than simply large quantities.

Esther Vilar said all this nearly 40 years ago in her book The Manipulated Man, and far better I might add. It's a shame that more men didn't listen.

Man put his balls on the table like ping pong. I respect whoever wrote this.

I read "A Letter to Men" now what? How do we correct a court system, health care system, and educational system that has moved away from equality for all? How do I help my friend who is in prison right now for breaking terms of probation by pleading guilty to a trumped up dv charge when all his evidence that his girlfriend had a history of self inflicted wounds and bipolar disorder was thrown out of court? How do I help my friend who is supporting his ex wife and children, he pays all the household bills and supports the family, yet the state still takes money from his bank account? I understand these are anecdotal stories. Take them for what they are. I want to know what to do. I left college after the freshmen boys were given the "All men are potential rapist" speech. I want to know what we as men can do now to stop the madness that has crept into popular, bureaucratic, and collegiate culture.
