> The modern men's movement and advocacy was never going to come from a podium or social acceptance. It was always going to come from quiet, stoic conversation amongst ourselves.

> For fifty years, men have been told that progress requires institutions. And that includes lobbying, court battles, committees, and protests. But those have never worked. At least not in any long-lasting way. Men don't rally around bureaucracy; they rally around purpose.

This is an exceptional 16 min video from Todd Bottom (psychologist and researcher), and it is highly recommended to watch. The "men must organize" narrative often assumed by male advocates is flipped on its head, and a more decentralized – and already highly successful! – model of independence is proposed.

One thing I would add to the video is that the "institutional power" gained by feminism naturally erodes as men stop valuing it. A good example is university degrees, which have plummeted in value alongside the actual substance of what they’re teaching. Once the academy is no longer funded because almost half the population doesn't attend, and men don't vote for politicians to support the academy through government funding, etc, these academic activists will find any victories to be short-lived and hollow.

TL;DR - The modern men's movement isn't a political campaign for equality; it is a decentralized, self-guided shift wherein individual men pursue independence and self-reliance.
