I'm doing a speech in my highschool speech class on men's rights, but I'm looking for a good place to start, and I'm not totally sure which points I should cover! Any recommendations, advice, or links?

Look at the FAQ. There's going to be a lot of skepticism. Stick with the trusted sources and academic research. Use a couple of the personal stories in the FAQ to personalize it. Keep it simple.

Here are some important stats.

Stats on women committing rape

Stats on women committing domestic violence

Paper on the methods feminists use to hide the finding that women commit domestic violence as often as men do

A study about the experiences of men who seek help from shelters and other domestic violence services

Between 25–33% reported being referred by a DV hotline or an online resource to a local program that was helpful. The remaining experiences were not as positive. A large proportion of those who sought help from DV agencies (49.9%), DV hotlines (63.9%), or online resources (42.9%) were told, “We only help women.” Of the 132 men who sought help from a DV agency, 44.1% (n=86) said that this resource was not at all helpful; further, 95.3% of those men (n=81) said that they were given the impression that the agency was biased against men. Some of the men were accused of being the batterer in the relationship: This happened to men seeking help from DV agencies (40.2%), DV hotlines (32.2%) and online resources (18.9%). Over 25% of those using an online resource reported that they were given a phone number for help which turned out to be the number for a batterer’s program. The results from the open-ended questions showed that 16.4% of the men who contacted a hotline reported that the staff made fun them, as did 15.2% of the men who contacted local DV agencies.

Read and watch a lot of Warren Farrell. Tom Goldich, and Christina Hoff Sommers is my advice.

Do some research and discover them for yourself. That's how you learn.
