I submit that as a group MRAs need to initially take on one issue and BY GOD WIN IT. I suggest that beginning with the extremely important yet low hanging fruit would be appropriate. Therefore, I suggest a collective MRA assault to require female registration for Selective Service in the United States.
Because women already serve in the U.S. military, albeit from a safe distance from actual fighting, with higher clothing allowances, lower physical fitness requirements, and better living standards than their male counterparts, it would be difficult for government officials to argue against a change in the law.
I will write a letter to my elected federal officials in Arkansas. I hope that you will do the same. However, letter writing is not enough.
I believe that men’s PACs need to be formed, local men’s-issue-only action groups created, and Internet petitions established that call for the change. Sites like this one are awesome, but men must branch out and take action to get serious positive attention from government leaders.

As a follow up, the issue of mandatory Selective Service registration for women has not, in my opinion, been advocated appropriately. Please view the history provided at the U.S. Selective Service official website, sss.gov, and notice that it was most aggressively pursued through the court system, which is a very difficult way to go without a change to the language of law itself. The matter needs to be pushed with every elected federal official in every state, and we should not allow any DOD opinion to control the outcome. The combat role issue for women is a red herring when addressing mandatory registration. I am sure that all of us know a guy that was drafted during the Vietnam War, who did not serve in direct combat. He still served whether it was in supply or in the chow hall, and women damn well could and should too. The “no combat equals no draft” argument is more feminist cherry picking of privilege without responsibility.
I personally believe that women should be given the privilege to die in combat so that they can gain a greater appreciation for the blood that protects their entitled lifestyles. I fail to understand how women got a green light to fill every cushy job in the armed services and government, without collectively spilling some blood on a battlefield. This is a separate issue, and my personal view on it does not mean that I want to cloud the issue of Selective Service registration for women with the issue of combat service for women.
Gentlemen…I challenge you to do something politically smart and effective individually or collectively. Paul, Harry, Chapin…I appreciate your efforts; you guys are extremely important. Keep up the great work.
I am posting the form of the letter that I am sending to my U.S. elected officials. I hope that it will light a fire under your as*es to do the same or something else tangible for the cause and benefit of men.
Dear Senator/Congressman,
Prior to the writing of this letter, I have never felt compelled to participate in political activism beyond brief service on the Developmental Disabilities Governor’s Council in the state of Arizona financial donations to candidates whom I believed would fairly and competently represent the citizens of Arkansas and the United States. However, I can no longer sit by while my government becomes more and more a feminist tool to promote anti-male policies in this country and around the world. I believe that there are a great number of men who share my views expressed in this letter, but who have not yet been moved to action.
Because my cause is not openly popular within the current political climate, I will tell you a little about myself so as not to be dismissed as an extremist nutcase. I am a citizen of the state of Arkansas, with no criminal record. I am also a licensed attorney and soon to be licensed registered nurse. I honorably served in the Arkansas guard and reserves for approximately eight years, and I have voted in every local and national election since turning eighteen years of age. I am, of course, registered in the Selective Service System.
My experience practicing law for nearly ten years supports my personal view that men are treated unfairly within our society. However, I want to focus your attention on the glaring unfairness of the current male-only registration with the federal Selective Service System. It has been nearly ten years since this issue has been re-examined, and in my opinion, it is high time that women be legally required to participate in the Selective Service System. It is time that Title 50, Section 453 of the Military Selective Service Act be amended to read “male and female citizens” rather than just males.
My basic argument for re-examination and amendment of the act is as follows:
■ I has been nearly a decade since this issue has been examined and much has changed during that time period;
■ Single women, as a group, now out earn men;
■ Women now constitute the majority gender population on college campuses in this country;
■ Women serve in combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan;
■ Military service is now a widely accepted career choice for women;
■ Women have been spotlighted in the media for their heroism in the combat theater and some have died during their tour of duty in the middle east;
■ Men have historically been drafted to fill not only combat but also non-combat roles such as logistics, intelligence, etc., and women are currently filling these roles in the armed services;
■ Women are receiving a discriminatory advantage in the military and public sector by not being legally required to register in order to be eligible for lucrative government employment and benefits.
In order not to inundate you with statistics and citations supporting the unfair treatment of men resulting in the unfair advantage of women in nearly every sector of our society but most particularly in the military, I have omitted supporting citations other than that of the Military Selective Service Act. However, I would be willing to provide them upon your request and given adequate time. In my opinion, it is time for the United States Senate and House to correct the injustice of female exemption from Selective Service registration, and I will assist the elected officials who do so and fight the election or re-election of those who do not address it. I will be actively encouraging other men to do likewise.
Sincerely,
John A
So you asking for equal work for equal pay? I’d like to see that.
Pankaj
Good luck,
Your chances of getting anywhere are more than finding Bigfoot in bed with the Lochness monster… but try anyway. Best way to cure naivety is to let the naive act on their current beliefs. When you are tired of such petitioning, take the time to realize that politics is not the way to get GOOD things done. Besides, a politician always asks .. if not explicitly “Whats in it for me?”
Hayden
John, thanks for posting something here, and I agree with you on that issue. I would like to see a whole laundry list of changes and rebukes of the existing feminist matrix we live in in the U.S., but I am saying that we have to start somewhere specific with an issue that could be won fairly quickly and easily with enough support from men. Once some sort of momentum is established, then pick another issue, win, and on and on. I am suggesting the initiation of a domino effect of a greater magnitude than that of the feminist garbage in our society.
I do not believe that women as a group want or can even handle true equality because it would crush the egos of all but a very few who actually can perform. I now see that the only gender relationship that the great sisterhood can handle is that of master and servant, and they have systematically installed themselves as masters with the help of brainwashed men and the herd mentality of the average woman. It is clear to me that there are only two options. The first option, which has some appeal to me also, is an approach similar to that set forth in the book Atlas Shrugged where men collectively follow the MGTOW model and say to hell with it all let it fall. The second option is to really organize and show up to the political and psychological gender war that men either out of laziness, stupidity, or overwhelming brainwashing have failed to fight so far.
I mailed the letter that I wrote above to Arkansas’ two senators and the congressman for my district. I seriously challenge every man that visits this website or any other MRA site to, at least, do the same. However, I submit that we really need to form and fund a men’s issue political action committee (PAC) that is aggressive on political issues important to men and aggressively anti-feminist. It would also be extremely helpful if somebody was savvy enough to maintain statistics and voting records for elected officials concerning men’s issues so that men could support and/or oppose the correct candidates.
The bloggers and writers are doing a great job of snapping men out of the brainwashing of self-hatred, chivalry, and va*ina worship that feminism has entrenched in the mind of men, but we must take the next step.
Hayden
I gave you the “like” for just getting something posted on this page. So alright Pankaj…cure my naivety by writing something on an activism page that guys who are willing do something besides p*ss and moan might actually do to improve the situation. Otherwise my time spent surfing around on this type of site is wasted.
I read some of your posts around, and I appreciate where you are coming from. However, the beaten attitude that you expressed and that men generally seem to have when addressing feminism makes me want to say p*ss on any sort of movement and just ghost. That being said, my question back to any of you is whether there is a point to an activism page on a MRA website if nobody is willing to discuss strategies or ideas for activism? I am going to stop posting and hopefully read something written by somebody else.

@Science Does Not Help Very Much
NOOOOOOOO!
Science is OUR SALVATION!
Here are sine examples of what science will do for the MRM over the next 30 years:
1) Male birth control pill – 5 to 10 years
2) Better-than-life “dream state” interaction with a perfect female companion, via computer directed dreaming – 15 to 20 years
3) Artificial gestation of new human life – 20 to 30 years
AlekNovy
Personally, I can’t wait for the sex holodeck 😀 Press a button, and you get a roll with Megan Fox*, press another button, and you cuddle with Angelina Jolie*.
Women will try to shame men away from it, call you a loser if you use these technologies, this, that and the other… But truth is, competition is scary, and women will need to improve a lot once these kinds of technologies come, such as dropping price (a lot easier to date/bed) or increase value (a lot more giving/submissive/nice to men).
*Not my actual type of women, just using examples to make it funny
Giselle
Do you think that if they actually come out with Better-than-life “dream state” interaction with a perfect female companion, via computer directed dreaming that men will be the only ones using it? I’ll be among millions of other people demanding the perfect male companion…..what sweet dreams! angelina and megan? Nah, more like chris pine and adam levine….but thats my dream!
Brendan
Actually, the sex holodeck will end up being banned by the federal government. The feminists who speak out against this technology will make the MacKinnon-Dworkin antipornography feminists of the 1980s and 1990s look like moderates.
Brendan
The technology of artificial gestation will come to pass, because feminists will welcome it.
The male birth control pill will have a much harder time gaining government approval because most feminists will reiterate Catharine MacKinnon’s contention that if sex were once again linked to childbirth, men would be much less inclined to rape. If a safe and effective male birth control pill were invented, womyn’s studies departments in universities nationwide would put MacKinnon’s “Only Words” at the top of their required reading list, and there would be a powerful lobby against legalization of the new pill.
The “dream state” technology doesn’t stand a chance of legalization. Feminists would reapply the old saw about pornography causing rape against this new technology, and defenders of the technology wouldn’t have recourse to the First Amendment.
Kratch
Personally, I think the first step would be to demand a Minister for the Status of Men (Canada. Don’t know what it’s called in the UK/UK) as an egalitarian counterpart to the Minister for the Status of Women. No statistics are needed, men are victims of domestic violence, regardless of degree, this is a truth no-one can deny, and should be addressed, that would be the purview of the men’s minister. As would why men remain the primary homeless and job death’s. Not to men boys in education. There is ample use for one. But the easiest argument for having such a minister is that equality laws demand it. Having a representative specific to woman in government applies a bias within government. Many elected officials may be men, but they are elected by the people, including women (so gender should not be held against them), and they are elected for the people (which requires a level of gender neutrality not required from the women’s minister due to her role).
Everything from there is a trickle down effect.
Kratch
Edit: UK/UK should read US/UK

Why is this page not used? Seriously…there is an activist movement that Paul started being pressed right now regarding the issue in Maine, and most of the posters here want to talk about blowup love dolls.

Could we please deal with real here and now meaningful political issues and leave the Star Trek crap and masturbation toys for the teenage branch of the MRM?

“It is still true that boardrooms and faculty clubs and legislatures and whole swaths of professions like, say, hedge-fund management remain predominantly male; women are about 10% of civil engineers and a third of physicians and surgeons but 98% of kindergarten teachers and dental assistants, and they still earn 77 cents on the dollar compared with men. They are charged higher premiums for health insurance yet still have greater out-of-pocket expenses for things as basic as contraception and maternity care. At times it seems as if the only women effortlessly balancing their jobs, kids, husbands and homes are the ones on TV.
Women still earn 77 cents on the dollar? This myth has been exposed by the Independent Women’s Forum several times but it still goes around as fact. In fact, when never married men and women have worked in a carreer for several years, it is the women who get paid more than the men but we will never hear this will we?
For example, I am an RN. I have an LPN who constantly complained about this so called wage gap so I silenced her when I asked her that suppose a female LPN who just got out of school got a job here and she got the same pay as you do, is that fair? She said of course not, I than said BUT she will be doing the same work as you do so would that not be equal pay for equal work? She said but I have been here 15 years….. I then said
B I N G O! Those who talk about the pay gap are not taking things like this into account. They are not taking into account the number of hours worked or a host of other factors.
AS to your health insurance statement, yes women USE to pay a higher permium but our feminist in chief stopped that BUT he has not stopped the higher rate men pay for life insurance has he? This is a case that will directly help women because she gets the money when he dies and because of the health care gap in favor of women, he will most likly die several years sooner than she will. This seems to be OK with you feminist.
I recently posted this on a NOW Forum. Maybe you can give me some answers Karma
“much of it attributable to men’s uncontrolled reproductive activity”
Umm is this like the all men are potential rapist thing? In reality, we have always heard about the health care gap in favor of men. There never was a gap in favor of men. When the NIH retracted that statement (February 21, 2001) we did not hear a word about it. Breast cancer gets many times the funding that prostate cancer gets and much more is spent on women’s health even though men die from all but 2 of the top 15 deadly diseases more often and at an earlier age. I heard more about breast cancer during prostate cancer awareness week than I did about prostate cancer and although heart disease still kills a much larger number of men at an earlier age, we only hear about RED for women’s heart disease now. Men can go to the back of the bus once again, or better yet, let’s throw men UNDER the bus!
As to the draft, I do not hear NOW or any other feminist organization screaming to draft women too and to give equally risky assignments in the military. Yes, women make up about a third of those in our two wars BUT they account for less then 1% of those coming home in body bags.
Speaking of which, what is NOW’s position on “women first” when it comes time to rescue people from dangerous places. The Oxygen Network had a billboard in Chicago bragging about women getting into the life boats first yet I have heard many feminist tell us that wealthy men were saved more often than women in other classes. In reality, the number one reason someone died on that day is that they were MALE. Those in charge worked hard at keeping men out of the life boats and often keep boys over 12 out of them too. They were expected to die just like the men. The sad fact is that many of the life boats were only half full but many refused to pick up men who were freezing to death in the waters. Had they not been too busy keeping men out and had everyone had a chance ALL the females could have been saved along with about two hundred more of the men who died needlessly
Yet today in our age of demanding equality, the feminist screams of equality are unheard when it still is women first from a jet that landed in the Hudson to a hostage crisis where the police as a first request is to let the women go, knowing that when all the females are safe, it is much more likely that an armed assault will be done and hostages will be killed but that is OK…they will be MALE.
Another area the silence of feminist equality is deafening is in “choice”. Feminist demand women’s choice but there is no such demand for choice except if a woman wants a child, he can pay up (and often never get to see the child he is paying for) or he can go to jail. I know of at least two 12 year old boys who were ordered to pay child support to adult women who had sex with them. No charges…just pay your child support!
When I hear NOW come out that men should have a choice to walk away from all of their responsibility much as any woman can today with no questions asked as she can terminate the pregnancy or she can give it up for adoption or turn the baby over to a safe haven location and walk away from ALL her responsibility no questions ask…Men do not have that option and often may be forced to pay child support for a child that the mother knows is not even his even when he can prove it. Paternity fraud is one of the few crimes the criminal not only gets away with, but is rewarded for the next 18 years. Sort of like having someone steal your brand new car and then find out the judge says the thief can keep the car but you have to keep making the payments and pay for the insurance and gas.
When NOW starts demanding equality in these areas….then and only then will I believe they want equality. Until then, I will only believe you want Power and Control!

After my total disability in line of duty, my wife had always demanded me to move to New York and transfer the HUD voucher there to be near her 2 brothers who live in Montreal Canada. Her next demanded was to take my 2kids to Iran for summer vacation I am 62 years old with heart disease, lung disease, sleep apnea, Tardive Dyskinesia, 2 ruptured disc in lower back and my left leg has numbness, tingling and pain radiating from my lower back all the way to my L-toes, bi-carpal tunnel syndrome, left cubital tunnel syndrome, asthma, depression, anxiety attack, bleeding ulcers, hemorrhoids, and almost near dead. She has been abusing me physically, verbally, mentally and financially for 15 years while I was making good money as General Manager we had no problems at all. Just one year after, I became disabled in line of duty she slashed my face &neck neighbors called police she was arrested and taken to jail I had to pay to bail her out and attorney fees. Few years later she attacked me with a toolbox hit my L-shoulder that permanently disabled my L-shoulder even after total rotator cuff muscle surgery from more than 80% tear I still can not lay on my L-shoulder for one minute and have been suffering from pain and discomfort since then have not been able to use my left shoulder, arm and hand to do daily activities. She also fractured my left pinky in several places while she was mad and threw a20lb weight to my hand and has been threatened me to poison me, turned my CPAP off at midnights to suffocate me I ordered a new CPAP machine, but it was her turning it off nothing was wrong with CPAP machine. After I was not able to meet her demands she threatened to make my life a living hell. She has been calling police several times for non sense to establish a fake domestic violence case for me. Finally I survived a fatal car accident in 4/4/11when someone hit my car hard flipped it over and totaled it and I was unconscious for long time with severe pain referred to orthopedic department and I am still under physicians care. I am still suffering from that injury with severe pain. A few days after my accident she punched me in my achy head for blocking her friend (interfering in our life asked her to get divorce, take the kids to Iran) number called police that I blocked her friend phone police told her that was personal then she falsely claimed I also pulled her hair police didn’t believe her claim (I was suffering from pain on my bed that time with neck brace, L-arm brace and back brace I was hardly could move from bed) she begged police to take her to shelter because she did not to live here any longer, but police told her you have 5 hours to make up and become friendly with you husband and if it didn’t work call after 4 pm when 2kids come home from school police would take you to a shelter, one police asked me if she hit me I told him physically mentally, financially and for sake of my kids I never wanted her to go back to jail again last time cost me too much to get her out with her criminal record I thought they would keep her in jail for long time (I never intended to harm our relationship or for our kids sake remained patient all the time during her abusing and injuring me)put her in jail even if there were hundred opportunities for me to do that. After my kids returned from school she took the only car we had in our household and followed police to a shelter. I haven’t seen my dear kids for 1/5 months their school called many times regarding their tardiness and send me letters that my kids have bee unexcused absent for days, library books were over due I had to pat to clear them up and I received a letter from HUD section 8 that my voucher was terminated after 14 years was given to me due to my total disability& transferred to my wife due to DV and her being in shelter. I had to borrow some money and hired an attorney to appeal their decision before the HUD hearing they never provided any documents to my attorney no witnesses to be cross exam basically a police report and few fake pictures part of an arm with a browse from several years ago and a picture of foot (supposedly of my wife) she wasn’t present to be crossed exam. Then I received a call from police department that my wife pressed charge against me for that day she left with my kids. I am 62 years old have been living with honor, my son from ex-wife is a TRUE AMERICAN HERO for serving almost 3 years in Iraq war (unfortunately he was disfranchised from our family simply because her mother was African America and she always told my kids they did not need nigger, S O B brother even if my son and I had a good father and son relationship prior to new marriage but she never let him visit me and his sister& brother whom he loved so much or even call them), paid taxes and voted in each election with 2 Masters and partial PhD education who never bothered any one in my life and have been always a good citizen of this great country, living with integrity, helping victims all my life long supporter/member of Amnesty International, ACLU. With lots of illnesses and 100% disability and $650 SSI& SSA which I spent my last dime for kids and her and paid bills never purchased even a pair of sucks for myself in past 14 years. I married her unfortunately while visiting Iran in 1992 without back ground check from her and her family. She has been a huge consumer of taxpayer money for 15 years, never worked a minute or earned a penny since I married her and brought her to America from Iran. She has been in charge of my EBT card for buying food of her own desire and she abused $215 TANF kid’s money for herself and her family in Iran & Canada as well as purchasing long distance phone cards to call those 2 countries for many hours per week. DHR had tried to send her to school and find her a job but she refused to follow up by giving fake excuses such as headache and depression abusing taxpayers’ money, Medicaid and myself to co-pay for her doctors and medications to reach her ambitious& goals of getting SSI and other Government benefits. After some research I found out in Iran women usually use faked domestic violence by self inflecting wounds to gain upper hands in divorce, child custody and other cases against their husband. Please advise me what to do next? Thanks for your time and God bless America and God bless you.

For those men,I’d like to say that the only reason why those women seem different is because the conditions in their country don’t allow them to cash in men like poker chips. Bring them here, and they’ll behave exactly the same as the native women do.
In truth, anyone would. If the police or courts gave cash rewards to those who stole cars, grand theft auto-the real kind,not the video game- would be the new national pastime.

Well I was on a roll, the only reason I stopped was I ran out of posters, I was having so much fun.I was also singing very loudly as I did it, that spooked people out, so most kept well clear.
The slut walkers took down about 6 of the 30 I put up, I used floor tile glue, takes three days to get that stuff off your hands!
I tried to tell them not to touch them, one young lady had webbed hands and had to go home…they become sticky sluts.

I want to give a short report of my activism effort at the 2011 Arkansas State Bar Convention. Although it was nothing huge, I prepared a flyer basically referring lawyers to this site, the-spearhead, and shrink4men and posted it in most of the men’s restrooms at the Arlington Hotel and the Hot Springs Convention Center during the convention.
As a sidenote, I was both encouraged and discouraged during the convention by a session on the topic of co-parenting in divorce and custody cases. I was encouraged that the session started by stating that fathers’ rights groups were gaining in strength and influence. I was also happy to hear Warren Farrell mentioned by name by the wretched women making the presentation. However, I was disappointed by the fact that when it was suggested that there may be a basis for a presumption that the father would be the proper parent for custody, there were several female (although only vaguely resembling the female form) attorneys who laughed out loud.
One woman even suggested that she would charge a man three times as much in fees to fight for custody for him. As a former practicing attorney myself, I understand how overpricing fees for a particular position effectively prevents clients from proceeding. I wonder what impact the Bar members’ preconceived notions about custody has on American families and gender relations? I can tell you without researching further that it is not positive. However, I can also tell you that lawyers take their cues from judges. So, if you want to truly influence the courts in this country, be damn careful about who you vote for to wear a judges robe.
Let’s keep the snowball of the MRM growing and put an end to all this feminist bullshit before our country implodes from stupidity!

Sorry Karma, I just saw your comment. There were several cackling hen lawyers laughing and making such comments. As for the criminal justice system, my experience has been that Mary Kellett types are more the rule with female prosecutors than the exception to it.
By the way, thanks again for emailing me your flyer. I have limited time and money like most of the other guys here, but I am making an effort to do something for the MRM. What do you think about things like a dedicated non-partisan political action committee for fighting individual men’s issues like the VAWA or a non-profit legal form drafting service for men in domestic relations cases against Cluster B women.
I am also curious about starting some kind of organized MRM chapter in my home state, and I am wondering whether the NCFM would be a good organization to approach. What ideas or points in regard to these things can you guys give me?

What are the top city stats for the U.S.?

Nice work guys! I have been talking about gender hyprocracy for a while. It’s nice to see guys talking about these issues. If women want equal rights- then let’s do it!
1. Women should be required to enlist in the selective service. Furthermore, there should be an equal amount of women and men on the front lines during war. 1% of casualties being women is unacceptable in an equal and balanced system.
2. Domestic violence laws should be re-assesed. Too many men are going to jail during male/female physical confrontations at home where both parties threw punches. Both or neither should be taken out of the home. If kids are involved, grandparents, etc.. should be called and both, man and woman be halled off to jail.
3. Women are clearly “strong enough” and equal to men in 2011. Hence, rape laws and cases should be re-assesed. A 2011 woman should be able to defend herself against her equal male aggressor. However, if the man overcomes her, and clearly forces her into an act of sex, then rape charges should be made. However, the cases should be looked at much differently than they were in 1920. 2011 Missy should be able to take care of herself.
4. Child support should be based on monthly or quartlerly RECEIPTS! if MIssy gets physical custody of the kid(s), then she should provide receipts and proof that your child ‘s expenses exceed what she would had have to paid anyway without a child in the house. For example, if she lives in a 2 bedroom apartment that costs 1000 a month. However, a 1 bedroom in the same complex costs 700/ month. The addition of your kid to her life is 1000- 700= $300/ month. The father should be responsible for 1/2 of the $300 ($150/ month for housing for his KID- not the bitch) irresepective of how much he makes at work. Food, utilities, health care, and other expenses should be assesed in the same manner. That would be fair and EQUAL!
There are so many other issues. However, it is nice to be amongst other fellas who get it. I wonder how the feminist’s would react if these “equalities” above actually became law. Until then, blow me, fuck me the way I like it, then make me a sandwich- will ya? Oh, and leave the fucking remote by my chair. Then, I will go die for you at war, sweetie. I might also pay some of your bills……..
Gentlemen,
I submit that as a group MRAs need to initially take on one issue and BY GOD WIN IT. I suggest that beginning with the extremely important yet low hanging fruit would be appropriate. Therefore, I suggest a collective MRA assault to require female registration for Selective Service in the United States.
Because women already serve in the U.S. military, albeit from a safe distance from actual fighting, with higher clothing allowances, lower physical fitness requirements, and better living standards than their male counterparts, it would be difficult for government officials to argue against a change in the law.
I will write a letter to my elected federal officials in Arkansas. I hope that you will do the same. However, letter writing is not enough.
I believe that men’s PACs need to be formed, local men’s-issue-only action groups created, and Internet petitions established that call for the change. Sites like this one are awesome, but men must branch out and take action to get serious positive attention from government leaders.

As a follow up, the issue of mandatory Selective Service registration for women has not, in my opinion, been advocated appropriately. Please view the history provided at the U.S. Selective Service official website, sss.gov, and notice that it was most aggressively pursued through the court system, which is a very difficult way to go without a change to the language of law itself. The matter needs to be pushed with every elected federal official in every state, and we should not allow any DOD opinion to control the outcome. The combat role issue for women is a red herring when addressing mandatory registration. I am sure that all of us know a guy that was drafted during the Vietnam War, who did not serve in direct combat. He still served whether it was in supply or in the chow hall, and women damn well could and should too. The “no combat equals no draft” argument is more feminist cherry picking of privilege without responsibility.
I personally believe that women should be given the privilege to die in combat so that they can gain a greater appreciation for the blood that protects their entitled lifestyles. I fail to understand how women got a green light to fill every cushy job in the armed services and government, without collectively spilling some blood on a battlefield. This is a separate issue, and my personal view on it does not mean that I want to cloud the issue of Selective Service registration for women with the issue of combat service for women.
Gentlemen…I challenge you to do something politically smart and effective individually or collectively. Paul, Harry, Chapin…I appreciate your efforts; you guys are extremely important. Keep up the great work.
I’ll email my representatives too. Have you signed petitions and sent emails on my blog?:

Dear Readers of This Website,
I am posting the form of the letter that I am sending to my U.S. elected officials. I hope that it will light a fire under your as*es to do the same or something else tangible for the cause and benefit of men.
Dear Senator/Congressman,
Prior to the writing of this letter, I have never felt compelled to participate in political activism beyond brief service on the Developmental Disabilities Governor’s Council in the state of Arizona financial donations to candidates whom I believed would fairly and competently represent the citizens of Arkansas and the United States. However, I can no longer sit by while my government becomes more and more a feminist tool to promote anti-male policies in this country and around the world. I believe that there are a great number of men who share my views expressed in this letter, but who have not yet been moved to action.
Because my cause is not openly popular within the current political climate, I will tell you a little about myself so as not to be dismissed as an extremist nutcase. I am a citizen of the state of Arkansas, with no criminal record. I am also a licensed attorney and soon to be licensed registered nurse. I honorably served in the Arkansas guard and reserves for approximately eight years, and I have voted in every local and national election since turning eighteen years of age. I am, of course, registered in the Selective Service System.
My experience practicing law for nearly ten years supports my personal view that men are treated unfairly within our society. However, I want to focus your attention on the glaring unfairness of the current male-only registration with the federal Selective Service System. It has been nearly ten years since this issue has been re-examined, and in my opinion, it is high time that women be legally required to participate in the Selective Service System. It is time that Title 50, Section 453 of the Military Selective Service Act be amended to read “male and female citizens” rather than just males.
My basic argument for re-examination and amendment of the act is as follows:
■ I has been nearly a decade since this issue has been examined and much has changed during that time period;
■ Single women, as a group, now out earn men;
■ Women now constitute the majority gender population on college campuses in this country;
■ Women serve in combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan;
■ Military service is now a widely accepted career choice for women;
■ Women have been spotlighted in the media for their heroism in the combat theater and some have died during their tour of duty in the middle east;
■ Men have historically been drafted to fill not only combat but also non-combat roles such as logistics, intelligence, etc., and women are currently filling these roles in the armed services;
■ Women are receiving a discriminatory advantage in the military and public sector by not being legally required to register in order to be eligible for lucrative government employment and benefits.
In order not to inundate you with statistics and citations supporting the unfair treatment of men resulting in the unfair advantage of women in nearly every sector of our society but most particularly in the military, I have omitted supporting citations other than that of the Military Selective Service Act. However, I would be willing to provide them upon your request and given adequate time. In my opinion, it is time for the United States Senate and House to correct the injustice of female exemption from Selective Service registration, and I will assist the elected officials who do so and fight the election or re-election of those who do not address it. I will be actively encouraging other men to do likewise.
Sincerely,
So you asking for equal work for equal pay? I’d like to see that.
Good luck,
Your chances of getting anywhere are more than finding Bigfoot in bed with the Lochness monster… but try anyway. Best way to cure naivety is to let the naive act on their current beliefs. When you are tired of such petitioning, take the time to realize that politics is not the way to get GOOD things done. Besides, a politician always asks .. if not explicitly “Whats in it for me?”
John, thanks for posting something here, and I agree with you on that issue. I would like to see a whole laundry list of changes and rebukes of the existing feminist matrix we live in in the U.S., but I am saying that we have to start somewhere specific with an issue that could be won fairly quickly and easily with enough support from men. Once some sort of momentum is established, then pick another issue, win, and on and on. I am suggesting the initiation of a domino effect of a greater magnitude than that of the feminist garbage in our society.
I do not believe that women as a group want or can even handle true equality because it would crush the egos of all but a very few who actually can perform. I now see that the only gender relationship that the great sisterhood can handle is that of master and servant, and they have systematically installed themselves as masters with the help of brainwashed men and the herd mentality of the average woman. It is clear to me that there are only two options. The first option, which has some appeal to me also, is an approach similar to that set forth in the book Atlas Shrugged where men collectively follow the MGTOW model and say to hell with it all let it fall. The second option is to really organize and show up to the political and psychological gender war that men either out of laziness, stupidity, or overwhelming brainwashing have failed to fight so far.
I mailed the letter that I wrote above to Arkansas’ two senators and the congressman for my district. I seriously challenge every man that visits this website or any other MRA site to, at least, do the same. However, I submit that we really need to form and fund a men’s issue political action committee (PAC) that is aggressive on political issues important to men and aggressively anti-feminist. It would also be extremely helpful if somebody was savvy enough to maintain statistics and voting records for elected officials concerning men’s issues so that men could support and/or oppose the correct candidates.
The bloggers and writers are doing a great job of snapping men out of the brainwashing of self-hatred, chivalry, and va*ina worship that feminism has entrenched in the mind of men, but we must take the next step.
I gave you the “like” for just getting something posted on this page. So alright Pankaj…cure my naivety by writing something on an activism page that guys who are willing do something besides p*ss and moan might actually do to improve the situation. Otherwise my time spent surfing around on this type of site is wasted.
I read some of your posts around, and I appreciate where you are coming from. However, the beaten attitude that you expressed and that men generally seem to have when addressing feminism makes me want to say p*ss on any sort of movement and just ghost. That being said, my question back to any of you is whether there is a point to an activism page on a MRA website if nobody is willing to discuss strategies or ideas for activism? I am going to stop posting and hopefully read something written by somebody else.
Hi Paul I should have done this some time ago. Great to hear you had a wee mention in the land of the toothless giants NYT! I wish you the very best in your work and you have my support.
@Science Does Not Help Very Much
NOOOOOOOO!
Science is OUR SALVATION!
Here are sine examples of what science will do for the MRM over the next 30 years:
1) Male birth control pill – 5 to 10 years
2) Better-than-life “dream state” interaction with a perfect female companion, via computer directed dreaming – 15 to 20 years
3) Artificial gestation of new human life – 20 to 30 years
Personally, I can’t wait for the sex holodeck 😀 Press a button, and you get a roll with Megan Fox*, press another button, and you cuddle with Angelina Jolie*.
Women will try to shame men away from it, call you a loser if you use these technologies, this, that and the other… But truth is, competition is scary, and women will need to improve a lot once these kinds of technologies come, such as dropping price (a lot easier to date/bed) or increase value (a lot more giving/submissive/nice to men).
*Not my actual type of women, just using examples to make it funny
Do you think that if they actually come out with Better-than-life “dream state” interaction with a perfect female companion, via computer directed dreaming that men will be the only ones using it? I’ll be among millions of other people demanding the perfect male companion…..what sweet dreams! angelina and megan? Nah, more like chris pine and adam levine….but thats my dream!
Actually, the sex holodeck will end up being banned by the federal government. The feminists who speak out against this technology will make the MacKinnon-Dworkin antipornography feminists of the 1980s and 1990s look like moderates.
The technology of artificial gestation will come to pass, because feminists will welcome it.
The male birth control pill will have a much harder time gaining government approval because most feminists will reiterate Catharine MacKinnon’s contention that if sex were once again linked to childbirth, men would be much less inclined to rape. If a safe and effective male birth control pill were invented, womyn’s studies departments in universities nationwide would put MacKinnon’s “Only Words” at the top of their required reading list, and there would be a powerful lobby against legalization of the new pill.
The “dream state” technology doesn’t stand a chance of legalization. Feminists would reapply the old saw about pornography causing rape against this new technology, and defenders of the technology wouldn’t have recourse to the First Amendment.
Personally, I think the first step would be to demand a Minister for the Status of Men (Canada. Don’t know what it’s called in the UK/UK) as an egalitarian counterpart to the Minister for the Status of Women. No statistics are needed, men are victims of domestic violence, regardless of degree, this is a truth no-one can deny, and should be addressed, that would be the purview of the men’s minister. As would why men remain the primary homeless and job death’s. Not to men boys in education. There is ample use for one. But the easiest argument for having such a minister is that equality laws demand it. Having a representative specific to woman in government applies a bias within government. Many elected officials may be men, but they are elected by the people, including women (so gender should not be held against them), and they are elected for the people (which requires a level of gender neutrality not required from the women’s minister due to her role).
Everything from there is a trickle down effect.
Edit: UK/UK should read US/UK
Why is this page not used? Seriously…there is an activist movement that Paul started being pressed right now regarding the issue in Maine, and most of the posters here want to talk about blowup love dolls. I appreciate joking and SciFi as much as the next guy, but I contend that that BS should be posted on another page.
Could we please deal with real here and now meaningful political issues and leave the Star Trek crap and masturbation toys for the teenage branch of the MRM?
The ‘trump’ card, attached.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“It is still true that boardrooms and faculty clubs and legislatures and whole swaths of professions like, say, hedge-fund management remain predominantly male; women are about 10% of civil engineers and a third of physicians and surgeons but 98% of kindergarten teachers and dental assistants, and they still earn 77 cents on the dollar compared with men. They are charged higher premiums for health insurance yet still have greater out-of-pocket expenses for things as basic as contraception and maternity care. At times it seems as if the only women effortlessly balancing their jobs, kids, husbands and homes are the ones on TV.

http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1930277_1930145,00.html
Women still earn 77 cents on the dollar? This myth has been exposed by the Independent Women’s Forum several times but it still goes around as fact. In fact, when never married men and women have worked in a carreer for several years, it is the women who get paid more than the men but we will never hear this will we?
For example, I am an RN. I have an LPN who constantly complained about this so called wage gap so I silenced her when I asked her that suppose a female LPN who just got out of school got a job here and she got the same pay as you do, is that fair? She said of course not, I than said BUT she will be doing the same work as you do so would that not be equal pay for equal work? She said but I have been here 15 years….. I then said
B I N G O! Those who talk about the pay gap are not taking things like this into account. They are not taking into account the number of hours worked or a host of other factors.
AS to your health insurance statement, yes women USE to pay a higher permium but our feminist in chief stopped that BUT he has not stopped the higher rate men pay for life insurance has he? This is a case that will directly help women because she gets the money when he dies and because of the health care gap in favor of women, he will most likly die several years sooner than she will. This seems to be OK with you feminist.
I recently posted this on a NOW Forum. Maybe you can give me some answers Karma
“much of it attributable to men’s uncontrolled reproductive activity”
Umm is this like the all men are potential rapist thing? In reality, we have always heard about the health care gap in favor of men. There never was a gap in favor of men. When the NIH retracted that statement (February 21, 2001) we did not hear a word about it. Breast cancer gets many times the funding that prostate cancer gets and much more is spent on women’s health even though men die from all but 2 of the top 15 deadly diseases more often and at an earlier age. I heard more about breast cancer during prostate cancer awareness week than I did about prostate cancer and although heart disease still kills a much larger number of men at an earlier age, we only hear about RED for women’s heart disease now. Men can go to the back of the bus once again, or better yet, let’s throw men UNDER the bus!
As to the draft, I do not hear NOW or any other feminist organization screaming to draft women too and to give equally risky assignments in the military. Yes, women make up about a third of those in our two wars BUT they account for less then 1% of those coming home in body bags.
Speaking of which, what is NOW’s position on “women first” when it comes time to rescue people from dangerous places. The Oxygen Network had a billboard in Chicago bragging about women getting into the life boats first yet I have heard many feminist tell us that wealthy men were saved more often than women in other classes. In reality, the number one reason someone died on that day is that they were MALE. Those in charge worked hard at keeping men out of the life boats and often keep boys over 12 out of them too. They were expected to die just like the men. The sad fact is that many of the life boats were only half full but many refused to pick up men who were freezing to death in the waters. Had they not been too busy keeping men out and had everyone had a chance ALL the females could have been saved along with about two hundred more of the men who died needlessly
Yet today in our age of demanding equality, the feminist screams of equality are unheard when it still is women first from a jet that landed in the Hudson to a hostage crisis where the police as a first request is to let the women go, knowing that when all the females are safe, it is much more likely that an armed assault will be done and hostages will be killed but that is OK…they will be MALE.
Another area the silence of feminist equality is deafening is in “choice”. Feminist demand women’s choice but there is no such demand for choice except if a woman wants a child, he can pay up (and often never get to see the child he is paying for) or he can go to jail. I know of at least two 12 year old boys who were ordered to pay child support to adult women who had sex with them. No charges…just pay your child support!
When I hear NOW come out that men should have a choice to walk away from all of their responsibility much as any woman can today with no questions asked as she can terminate the pregnancy or she can give it up for adoption or turn the baby over to a safe haven location and walk away from ALL her responsibility no questions ask…Men do not have that option and often may be forced to pay child support for a child that the mother knows is not even his even when he can prove it. Paternity fraud is one of the few crimes the criminal not only gets away with, but is rewarded for the next 18 years. Sort of like having someone steal your brand new car and then find out the judge says the thief can keep the car but you have to keep making the payments and pay for the insurance and gas.
When NOW starts demanding equality in these areas….then and only then will I believe they want equality. Until then, I will only believe you want Power and Control!

Ya it sounds it.I have now been to the NOW website for quite some time, the poster runs are far more effective.I suspect NOW will die out with many of the baby-boomer women.
YOU! NAILED! IT!
Hmmm I did an MRA poster run a few weeks back.Guys anyone can do this.

Here’s to one of the few real activists among us. Thanks for all your hard work.
The only way to destroy feminism would be to breed them out, train up all the young guys to screen them out in the dating/mating phase.
If millions of feminists are 30 + and barren, it does not matter, just Collateral damage, and many sane men avoiding.

After my total disability in line of duty, my wife had always demanded me to move to New York and transfer the HUD voucher there to be near her 2 brothers who live in Montreal Canada. Her next demanded was to take my 2kids to Iran for summer vacation I am 62 years old with heart disease, lung disease, sleep apnea, Tardive Dyskinesia, 2 ruptured disc in lower back and my left leg has numbness, tingling and pain radiating from my lower back all the way to my L-toes, bi-carpal tunnel syndrome, left cubital tunnel syndrome, asthma, depression, anxiety attack, bleeding ulcers, hemorrhoids, and almost near dead. She has been abusing me physically, verbally, mentally and financially for 15 years while I was making good money as General Manager we had no problems at all. Just one year after, I became disabled in line of duty she slashed my face &neck neighbors called police she was arrested and taken to jail I had to pay to bail her out and attorney fees. Few years later she attacked me with a toolbox hit my L-shoulder that permanently disabled my L-shoulder even after total rotator cuff muscle surgery from more than 80% tear I still can not lay on my L-shoulder for one minute and have been suffering from pain and discomfort since then have not been able to use my left shoulder, arm and hand to do daily activities. She also fractured my left pinky in several places while she was mad and threw a20lb weight to my hand and has been threatened me to poison me, turned my CPAP off at midnights to suffocate me I ordered a new CPAP machine, but it was her turning it off nothing was wrong with CPAP machine. After I was not able to meet her demands she threatened to make my life a living hell. She has been calling police several times for non sense to establish a fake domestic violence case for me. Finally I survived a fatal car accident in 4/4/11when someone hit my car hard flipped it over and totaled it and I was unconscious for long time with severe pain referred to orthopedic department and I am still under physicians care. I am still suffering from that injury with severe pain. A few days after my accident she punched me in my achy head for blocking her friend (interfering in our life asked her to get divorce, take the kids to Iran) number called police that I blocked her friend phone police told her that was personal then she falsely claimed I also pulled her hair police didn’t believe her claim (I was suffering from pain on my bed that time with neck brace, L-arm brace and back brace I was hardly could move from bed) she begged police to take her to shelter because she did not to live here any longer, but police told her you have 5 hours to make up and become friendly with you husband and if it didn’t work call after 4 pm when 2kids come home from school police would take you to a shelter, one police asked me if she hit me I told him physically mentally, financially and for sake of my kids I never wanted her to go back to jail again last time cost me too much to get her out with her criminal record I thought they would keep her in jail for long time (I never intended to harm our relationship or for our kids sake remained patient all the time during her abusing and injuring me)put her in jail even if there were hundred opportunities for me to do that. After my kids returned from school she took the only car we had in our household and followed police to a shelter. I haven’t seen my dear kids for 1/5 months their school called many times regarding their tardiness and send me letters that my kids have bee unexcused absent for days, library books were over due I had to pat to clear them up and I received a letter from HUD section 8 that my voucher was terminated after 14 years was given to me due to my total disability& transferred to my wife due to DV and her being in shelter. I had to borrow some money and hired an attorney to appeal their decision before the HUD hearing they never provided any documents to my attorney no witnesses to be cross exam basically a police report and few fake pictures part of an arm with a browse from several years ago and a picture of foot (supposedly of my wife) she wasn’t present to be crossed exam. Then I received a call from police department that my wife pressed charge against me for that day she left with my kids. I am 62 years old have been living with honor, my son from ex-wife is a TRUE AMERICAN HERO for serving almost 3 years in Iraq war (unfortunately he was disfranchised from our family simply because her mother was African America and she always told my kids they did not need nigger, S O B brother even if my son and I had a good father and son relationship prior to new marriage but she never let him visit me and his sister& brother whom he loved so much or even call them), paid taxes and voted in each election with 2 Masters and partial PhD education who never bothered any one in my life and have been always a good citizen of this great country, living with integrity, helping victims all my life long supporter/member of Amnesty International, ACLU. With lots of illnesses and 100% disability and $650 SSI& SSA which I spent my last dime for kids and her and paid bills never purchased even a pair of sucks for myself in past 14 years. I married her unfortunately while visiting Iran in 1992 without back ground check from her and her family. She has been a huge consumer of taxpayer money for 15 years, never worked a minute or earned a penny since I married her and brought her to America from Iran. She has been in charge of my EBT card for buying food of her own desire and she abused $215 TANF kid’s money for herself and her family in Iran & Canada as well as purchasing long distance phone cards to call those 2 countries for many hours per week. DHR had tried to send her to school and find her a job but she refused to follow up by giving fake excuses such as headache and depression abusing taxpayers’ money, Medicaid and myself to co-pay for her doctors and medications to reach her ambitious& goals of getting SSI and other Government benefits. After some research I found out in Iran women usually use faked domestic violence by self inflecting wounds to gain upper hands in divorce, child custody and other cases against their husband. Please advise me what to do next? Thanks for your time and God bless America and God bless you.
Western men must stop thinking other women are better.
For those men,I’d like to say that the only reason why those women seem different is because the conditions in their country don’t allow them to cash in men like poker chips. Bring them here, and they’ll behave exactly the same as the native women do.
In truth, anyone would. If the police or courts gave cash rewards to those who stole cars, grand theft auto-the real kind,not the video game- would be the new national pastime.

Oh HELL YES.
The cops did not see a thing…..
Btw that cop from Toronto might make a great guest on AvFM.
That would really stick it up the MSM.
The night before the slutwalk was going to be a quick dry run.
Well I was on a roll, the only reason I stopped was I ran out of posters, I was having so much fun.I was also singing very loudly as I did it, that spooked people out, so most kept well clear.
The slut walkers took down about 6 of the 30 I put up, I used floor tile glue, takes three days to get that stuff off your hands!
I tried to tell them not to touch them, one young lady had webbed hands and had to go home…they become sticky sluts.
Going to buy some glue in bulk today – 20 liters.
LOL Awesome!
Floor tile glue eh? Not a bad idea. I’ve noticed many of mine get torn down after a week or so. Maybe this will fix that little problem.
Hmm we need a gallery of offline activism.
We could do it under the KARMA link or a separate link.
Anyhow I will continue the poster meme.

Hi Mr. Elam!
My wife bit some of my computers in different occasions with hammer in front and back just like this one which I kept it and all of my grad school projects’ software (my 2 masters and 2 years of PhD programs were in Instructional technology means computers, software, projects, webmastering and so on). Severity of my illnesses and disability stopped me to earn my doctoral degree. These were all my life long assets also dumped in dumpster by her for no reason.

I want to give a short report of my activism effort at the 2011 Arkansas State Bar Convention. Although it was nothing huge, I prepared a flyer basically referring lawyers to this site, the-spearhead, and shrink4men and posted it in most of the men’s restrooms at the Arlington Hotel and the Hot Springs Convention Center during the convention.
As a sidenote, I was both encouraged and discouraged during the convention by a session on the topic of co-parenting in divorce and custody cases. I was encouraged that the session started by stating that fathers’ rights groups were gaining in strength and influence. I was also happy to hear Warren Farrell mentioned by name by the wretched women making the presentation. However, I was disappointed by the fact that when it was suggested that there may be a basis for a presumption that the father would be the proper parent for custody, there were several female (although only vaguely resembling the female form) attorneys who laughed out loud.
One woman even suggested that she would charge a man three times as much in fees to fight for custody for him. As a former practicing attorney myself, I understand how overpricing fees for a particular position effectively prevents clients from proceeding. I wonder what impact the Bar members’ preconceived notions about custody has on American families and gender relations? I can tell you without researching further that it is not positive. However, I can also tell you that lawyers take their cues from judges. So, if you want to truly influence the courts in this country, be damn careful about who you vote for to wear a judges robe.
Let’s keep the snowball of the MRM growing and put an end to all this feminist bullshit before our country implodes from stupidity!
“One woman even suggested that she would charge a man three times as much in fees to fight for custody for him.”
Was her name Mary Kellett?
Sorry Karma, I just saw your comment. There were several cackling hen lawyers laughing and making such comments. As for the criminal justice system, my experience has been that Mary Kellett types are more the rule with female prosecutors than the exception to it.
By the way, thanks again for emailing me your flyer. I have limited time and money like most of the other guys here, but I am making an effort to do something for the MRM. What do you think about things like a dedicated non-partisan political action committee for fighting individual men’s issues like the VAWA or a non-profit legal form drafting service for men in domestic relations cases against Cluster B women.
I am also curious about starting some kind of organized MRM chapter in my home state, and I am wondering whether the NCFM would be a good organization to approach. What ideas or points in regard to these things can you guys give me?
Thanks for your comments and help.
Two other good examples

What are the top city stats for the U.S.?
Nice work guys! I have been talking about gender hyprocracy for a while. It’s nice to see guys talking about these issues. If women want equal rights- then let’s do it!
1. Women should be required to enlist in the selective service. Furthermore, there should be an equal amount of women and men on the front lines during war. 1% of casualties being women is unacceptable in an equal and balanced system.
2. Domestic violence laws should be re-assesed. Too many men are going to jail during male/female physical confrontations at home where both parties threw punches. Both or neither should be taken out of the home. If kids are involved, grandparents, etc.. should be called and both, man and woman be halled off to jail.
3. Women are clearly “strong enough” and equal to men in 2011. Hence, rape laws and cases should be re-assesed. A 2011 woman should be able to defend herself against her equal male aggressor. However, if the man overcomes her, and clearly forces her into an act of sex, then rape charges should be made. However, the cases should be looked at much differently than they were in 1920. 2011 Missy should be able to take care of herself.
4. Child support should be based on monthly or quartlerly RECEIPTS! if MIssy gets physical custody of the kid(s), then she should provide receipts and proof that your child ‘s expenses exceed what she would had have to paid anyway without a child in the house. For example, if she lives in a 2 bedroom apartment that costs 1000 a month. However, a 1 bedroom in the same complex costs 700/ month. The addition of your kid to her life is 1000- 700= $300/ month. The father should be responsible for 1/2 of the $300 ($150/ month for housing for his KID- not the bitch) irresepective of how much he makes at work. Food, utilities, health care, and other expenses should be assesed in the same manner. That would be fair and EQUAL!
There are so many other issues. However, it is nice to be amongst other fellas who get it. I wonder how the feminist’s would react if these “equalities” above actually became law. Until then, blow me, fuck me the way I like it, then make me a sandwich- will ya? Oh, and leave the fucking remote by my chair. Then, I will go die for you at war, sweetie. I might also pay some of your bills……..
