To be honest, not really.

It is understandable though. We are a nascent movement and it is a little foolish to think that we should achieve a large effect after only a few years.

Add to that the fact that we are opposed pretty much everywhere we go by bigots and feminists and the reasons for our lack of action become apparent.

But our movement is growing and we are seeing more and more activism daily.

Relatively soon people like you won't think to ask your question because they will already know the answer.

What you all don't get is that success builds upon success. Real activists that get results attract new members more than just talk. Real activists come in all flavors from Glenn Sacks to Mark Rudov. Don't piss on them just because you don't like their style.

Upvoted so hopefully more people get to see your ignorance.

No not personally. I like to be aware of the issues. I'm sure situations will come up in my life where they are relevant.

Activism is less important than education.

But having said that I give up a lot of my income to help a divorced dad.

Normalizing and mainstreaming men's rights, driving feminists out of here, eviscerating srs yokels, and raising awareness of these issues is all the activism I'm going to describe here.

My RL activities are nobody's business.

Do you not actually sense that there is a change in the wind? Do you not see the small signs like a male British M.P. openly saying in parliament that feminism is a hate movement? Sites like this that encourage men to take our own issues seriously are growing a movement that you would only miss if you don't want to see it.

To be honest Vintagelion the reason there is a lack of Activism is that we first have to get our issues into the public consciousness and discourse, no point in holding rallies to end circumcision if we cannot get people to care about circumcision first.

I'm curious of that too. Lots of discussion, little activism. Why don't you tell them about some activism so they can tear it apart and tell you it's no good.
