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)
