Might be fine though. When do you guys want to meet up?

I'm in the philly area

im in l.a

i mean ive posted this to the sub multiple times over the least 2 years or so

never goes anywhere

Yeah la is a.l bit far for me

ieally i see it as lots of little local networks

Oo

I think if you were to organise a meet at the conference itself a lot more people might come. Unfortunately, America is an ocean away for me. Lol

Ah, would be great to have you @Men Are Human

Well I can recommend some hotels for those going.

Thanks. :) It would be great to actually go and meet some of you all.

thinks will happen naturally to. MRAs will eventually find each other in schools,at work, etc

in the real world

i live in germany so unfortunately hard to manage

but hey my romanian passport allows me to go visa-free to canada. where i can get arrested for saying things the government doesn't like

Any Brit or people with VPNs manage to watch this?

Abused By My Girlfriend: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0700912 via @bbciplayer

I just saw it. Its good that's being covered

I liked the ending. But fuck she got two 6 year sentences but gets to serve them concurrently? That's a joke tbh.

Did she? Yea it is... I missed that bit

Yeah. And 6 months for controlling and coercive behaviour

Her interview was really spooky.
"I had the knife because I wanted him to come back in the house"
"I cut him but I didn't stab him"

Trying to .minimise the damage she caused. Typical of abusers

Lol. That's kind of scary if *that* is considered to be better

Someone should tell me some positive news in the MRM

Male suicide rate is down in the UK

The Reddit has an entire tag for progress and there's a few hundred examples of you want us to dig out a few favourites. Personally, I count every media story covering one of our issues as positive. The fact the BBC made that documentary film shows that things are changing.

Might be a new topic for <#515246258571575297> once the current one is over: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/02/19/women-built-tech-industry-then-they-were-pushed-out/?utm_term=.ba62ebbf18c9

You all will not believe today's lessons

I'll write when I get home

But damn

Today, 4/6 lessons have been about social justice and feminism

They sure seem to be pushing that shit hard in schools... Are gender studies (aka feminism indoctrination) a mandatory course now :/

@S8N You should complain that your education is being upserped by the options of the teachers. If you want to put this story on the site or even write a whole article on your experiences, let me know.

Mandatory course for us is a project (tested before rolling out to entire school) called "Social Responsibility"

As part of today's lesson, we had notes attached to our forehead claiming certain professions. She intentionally put two doctor roles, one a feminine (Ärztin) and a masculine (Arzt)

We had to walk around class and people had to react to eachother based on what professions were on their forehead

Now me and my friend (let's call him Mark) weren't interested in this much and went around, I got a reaction from another friend and Mark didn't do anything basically. The girl who was also doctor was interacting with people as normal

When we went around the class to tell others (and the teacher) what others reacted about us, my friend just made up a typical doctor reaction as I told him his role beforehand (people acted respectfully to me, stuff like that).

We went to the girl (who interacted with the class more) and she said that she was given doctor responses like signaling that another person is hurt.

Teacher went on to capitalise on this and said that it has to do with gender, even went as far as to claim that women are seen as lower beings in society.
