I have a question for @everyone!
Hello my name is Silver and I’m a young adult novelist. I’m currently working on a series that targets young men and the social issues that they’ll unfortunately have to face. And adventure!

In-between the action there are usually slice of life sections where the main characters are confronted with social hurdles to jump. For example, the first book has tackled: Equal gender responsibility in dating, Defending yourself priorities, Respect, False accusation.

What kind of issues would YOU want young adults to learn about, In the next book?
And don’t worry if these issues don’t have well defined answers yet, I have a duo of writers who help me hash out what could be an answer.

My two biggest things is dealing with weight. I’ve been super skinny my entire life and struggle to gain any weight. It’s been an issue because I’ve had to deal with people saying I’m too skinny and must not be eating enough.

The other is living with the fact that I’m circumcised. It’s not something I chose to be but it is something I have to live with for my entire life. Every boyfriend I’ve had has been uncut and it just makes me hate myself.

Ew, @ing everyone. @Silver_The_Bard: Trying to help a man in a (physically) abusive relationship? A male-skewed homelessness issue like coping with having to temporarily go through rough-sleeping and accompanying social isolation? (potentially harder to do without affecting continuity, especially with YA protagonists) Some other issues, like education discrimination or the draft might be very hard to fit into a story with an already-defined setting, and you've already done false accusations so paternity fraud might be too similar.

If you're looking for a list of men's social issues, this website is a decent source that explains things in a broad fashion without being a book on each one: https://rbomi.com/

@asparkofpyrokravte Thank you for this! And yes ew for the "all". But this was one of those few situations where I did want to get everyone's attention.

I will use it sparingly.

Sorry about the bot. I'll fix it, lol

Hello! I am currently collecting signatures for an open letter about men's rights. Anyone who would consider signing it is welcome to e-mail me at [email protected]

Cool. What is the letter about? Could you post us a copy?

Can you e-mail me at [email protected] ?

it's similar to the complaints listed on my website ..

@Men Are Human @Silver_The_Bard as I said , these are the most efficient MensRights activists : https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-24/birth-certificates-gender-tasmania-government-against-amendments/10423686 😂

Looks like it could do interesting things, lol

That for sure, ironically women are the biggest opposition to the potential amendment where not the media nor feminists have spoken against it yet (shocking) , putting men's gender of the birth certificate only serve the purposes that you want to change, after all men aren't asking for special protections but just to be seen as humans

interesting

There we are

IT'S WORKING!!!

Hallelujah

How many different subs can you connect this to?

And now to mess with it until it doesn't. 😉

About a hundered

Oh dear

I forgot that r/mensrights mostly consists of low-effort memes

@Men Are Human how about r/mractivism r/masculism r/femradebates r/menslib for starters?\

Good to break the bubbles

well, I specialize in filing civil rights complaints against US colleges.

Legitimate complaints or spurious ones?

Because TBF we have had a problem with the latter recently.

(looking at you eagle rock)

Spurious in what sense

Claims that are not the result of legitimate discrimination (IE the Eagle Rock Brewery incident)

The federal government is prosecuting them, so I wouldn't call them spurious: https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10899

That seems relatively solid, Professor

Why do you think the Eagle Rock Brewery case is spurious? granted, suing a beer event seems trivial, but it's still discrimination under Californian laws

r/mractivismseems to be mostly 'red pill hangout' videos. I'm not sure what that is

Yeah, that is annoying

the mods there are garbage

@Kursat Christoff Pekgoz Despite being illegal by "californian laws", it does not really affect men. Single gender spaces are important. One day a week for a few hours will not hurt men

california is not smart

america in general is not smart

you realize that feminists make it impossible for men to form male-only spaces, right?

<#515246258571575297> for that mate

lets not get into the feminism thing here

do you think it's a coincidence that college campuses offer dozens of female-only groups but nothing equivalent for men?

I think that that is definitely a problem

But tearing down women is incredibly lazy

I don't think that's what we are doing.

It would be much better to fight for a male-only space instead of attacking female-only ones

Possibly.

There's arguments to be made both ways.

Good luck obtaining funding for male-only spaces, scholarships, or Male Studies -- it just won't happen.

Personally I think both genders need their own spaces

@Kursat Christoff Pekgoz that is a challenge, but it is one solved by changing the social memes around gender rather than by making yourself appear to fit the oppressor stereotype

That's vague and unhelpful, and doesn't take into account the fact that colleges are run by feminist administrators who actively sabotage male-only spaces

But here's one of those complaints anyway: https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/ea7b71_bc94d55c7a77442684a6dd1dd7754c4a.pdf

That is in fact vague, because changing stereotypes is a long and complicated process.

And whether or not "colleges are run by feminist administrators who actively sabotage male-only spaces", we need to find out *why* they oppose them and then work with them to find a mutually agreeable solution

...I'm off to bed.

Good night chap

have a good one

I will probably head off too

night all

night night

Hello Iain!

I'm tempted to make the feed got to its own special room as I can see new people instantly being confronted with, say, some kind of troll post.

Then again, I like the idea of a feed to this channel as I think it would prompt debates.

Any suggestions?

Oh. By the way. Is anyone else having problems with the front page of https://menarehuman.com/ on Firefox?

Okay. The Reddit Bot will now mainly be posting to the <#515481742052818945> channel, but I have made it so /r/MensRightsBoxes posts in here.

I am going to try and set it up so that upvoted posts appear in this thread. From now on news like this will appear in <#513359101082861568>. This will let people post the most interesting things from there to <#512584678314606613> without us getting spammed by memes. Sound good?
