Public votes on banning all alimony, limiting child support to reasonable necessities, ban circumcisions under age 18, increasing penalty for false accusation, prohibiting forced psych injections and electrocutions because cops believe women over men and use female hormones, ban qualified immunity so police can be sued.

I read mainstream news hide everything bad about women and push every thing bad about men.

That is a thing where we can fight. Build no censorship media and use it to bring knowkedge and advice to men.

Like here ?

With censorship they can stop it in 5 minutes.

Call out sexism when you see it. Dismissing or ignoring men's issues, too. You needn't be aggressive or a jerk about it, but for most of us without great political power or influence, quietly raising awareness is the best course of action.

It's a definitely a long-term solution, though.

What can we do?

Save yourself, that's what you can do. Don't try to be a hero and try to change the world, you will only be met with disappointment. Even if you can save one person(yourself) you are making a positive change in the world.

It's a lot If you share it with the right people. Don't keep it in this echochamber, carry it to friends or other forums that allow you to. If everyone here manages to spread awareness to just one more person each year, then in five years the amount of people who care about this will be 32 times of what it is now. We are fighting for a long term solution and a better future here so keep your head up and thanks for your activism.

Focus on what you can control in your life. If you’re in a position of power use it wisely and fairly to advocate or raise awareness, if you feel safe doing so.

If not maybe try to be less of a bi-stander if you see men being abused,harassed etc. Although this is a very nuanced point that should be taken with caution.

Trying to become a "Men's Rights activist" in the real life would be a career suicide. You can very likely lose your job and have your reputation tarnished even if you speak a single criticism of feminism or sympathize towards the Men's Rights movement.

Therefore, being open about "Men's Rights" is not really a good idea. Not to mention, a lot of people conflate "Men's Rights" to things like the opression of women, men delegating women to the kitchen, the "rape culture", the taliban etc. A lot of them also think the movement is about "Men vs Women." Which in my opinion it isn't. There are way too many men who upheld the misandry, discrimination, and negligence towards men's issues, and we have to realize they are not all our allies. We oppose anyone who opposes the basic human rights and betterment of male individuals and we also support women who understand and help us with our issues.

You have to realize a lot of people are too emotionally charged when it comes to "men." They think of all the robbers, murderers, gangsters, rapists, sexual abusers etc. They will further resort to their trauma dump to explain their bigotry or dehumanization of men and downplay or try to make issues faced by regular men as inconsequential. This happens so much when we bring up male suicides or the male loninless epidemic, where they resort to crime statistics to downplay our struggles. As if vast majority of us are doing it, and how they do a complete 180 degrees when someone talks about the black crime rate in the United States.

In my personal opinion, the best way to start would be to have wholesome safe spaces where we can discuss male mental health, career advice, physical health, hormonal levels etc.. We can also create men's support groups for boys and men who have gone through domestic violence, physical/mental/sexual/emotional abuse, and rape and also raise more awareness about these issues so men came come out more.

We can also try and get more male sympathizers in fields like journalism and social sciences like psychology that are currently infested with feminists or man haters. Having some male teachers as wholesome role models for the boys will also be good. We need to learn to celebrate men and their positivities like we do for women in the media.

We also know how women are benefitted extensively through affirmative action and scholarships. Those of us who are with money should help out boys and men who are in poverty by creating our own mentorship programs and scholarships for them. There are so many organizations in colleges and companies to help out women, we need similar ones to help out and mentor our fellow guys.

Rather than comparing everything as "men vs women", we will have to be rational knowing most of the public is too emotional regarding this topic, and instead try and just focus on men with mentioning women as less possible.

Unlike most manosphere spaces, we should keep our discussions related to women and dating to the least. This is one my main criticisms of "MGTOW" since its often way too obsessed with women are relationships as such, and it will lead to further radicalization and lack of credibility in our movements, since we still have to convince the rest of the public of our issues.

I understand a lot of us are often traumatized by a lot of women or the things many have said or done to us, but we don't have to stoop down to the level of the feminists. We have to be realistic and realize men and women's lives are far more intertwined. For me, my own mother is more important than some random guy. Similarly for a mother her son is important than some random women. We can't alienate them and to succeed as a society we will have to convince them to respect our issues while we also repsect their's.

While we can teach guys to be cautious around women who are awful, just like how many women warn about "abusive" men, we don't have to resort to woman hating or misogyny like most feminists do towards men. It can be quite difficult considering the current emotional climate.

Most of our movement will have to be done through proxy in real life and we will have to be clever knowing that a lot of instutions and media are generally discriminatory against men and a lot of people are born with prejudice towards and devalue men, which I personally believe is biologically encoded. We will have to focus on actions and helping out other men and carefully raise our issues. It's going to be tough convincing most of other people and we'll have to be very clever with our arguments and should foremost focus on ourselves.
