How do we actually make a difference?

We are making a difference.

I remember when we were just a couple of blogs and most of the mens movement was people advocating traditional roles.

Since then, largely due to avfm we have breached the mainstream with controversy and mens issues are being widely spoken about.

Feminists are even allowing the likes of the subreddit menslib to exist in peace.

Change happens slowly. Well at least good change that will last happens slowly. You've been here for months, it will take decades to fix the problems men face.

The two biggest things you can do are don't burn out and be the change.

Change that will last is all about taking baby steps, not sprinting a marathon. All the stuff posted here is infuriating, help the men posting about their pain process it in a healthy way. Learn what mistakes they made to find themselves in that position and teach the young men around about this.

You are not going to get a legal paternal surrender law passed. You can tell your brother/nephew/son about the dangers of family court and how to avoid it (don't have kids). This may not seem like much, but decades of it will have a major impact.

Take steps in improving your own life. I've scheduled a vasectomy (though this is in addition to my basic stance that kids aren't worth the time Ann's effort) and will not ever marry.

Those steps will eliminate my chances of being divorce raped and dealing with child support and the corrupt family law system.

But that's only how I'm dealing with the situation. You might wish to get married and have children (play with a loaded gun, as I call it)

If so, your only hope is to petition the courts nicely to treat you fair.

The MRM has made tremendous gains in the past 3 years. The main evidence is to be found in the comment sections on MSM articles on gender issues. It used to be dominated by feminist partisans. Now, MRM partisans are there in force, and average people are starting to repeat the MRM talking points in comment sections.

My favorite example of that was donglegate. If you look at the MSM articles covering it, you will see women from outside the MRM came to the comment sections in droves to defend men against the feminist partisans.

It was glorious.

There are mens rights organizations that advocate for our issues, you may support them if you like.

The other thing is that we create awareness. I think this is actually the most important thing, since that's what society lacks the most, empathy towards men.

I think awareness is the first step. The more these stories are told, the more people will realize that there is a problem. Once society in general recognizes these issues, it will be easier to advocate for solutions.

Who is "we," stranger? According to your comment history you spend most of your Reddit time going on about electronic cigarettes!

Step one: Defeat feminism.

We can't even get started until feminism is exposed as a movement that simply wants to legislate inequality in favor of women and against men.

On public publications that is spreading lies, if there's a comments section, correct and challenge those disinformation. Basically, raising awareness.

What I believe, is feminist movement need to die before any change of course to repair damaged done can even start.

Infuriates you?

Lol no offence but why would you care about some other guy's personal and financial problems? You don't even know him.

For all you know he could be the guy who bullied you at school 15 years ago.
