Would it be ok to post a GFM link if it has to do with trying to get protections extended to boys when it comes to MGM?

I'm trying to get resources and research materials like medical texts.

@Shadowguyver If you mean FGM, sure. Go right ahead.

GoFundMe link. I'm trying to get states to extend the laws protecting gitls to boys as well.

But I need to get research materials like medical texts and access to academic sites.

Hmmmm. I'm not sure about that @Shadowguyver . It's difficult to tell if these things are genuine, after all. We haven't even run any of our own funding drives yet. We'll have a <@&516181909554987038> huddle, and talk it over - so any info you can give me on what you have already put out would be good. If you have anything you'd like me to consider for www.menarehuman.com let me know. In the mean time, there are some sites that let you buy second hand textbooks and ebook versions very cheaply.

I can send you the link and let you see what it entails. I thank you for the consideration.

That would be very helpful. Thank you

Part of the reason we're holding off on this is that we haven't seen you around on here before. As far as I'm aware your first post was about go fund me, which is a little bit of a red flag even if you are fully genuine. If anyone else can vouch for you, that would certainly help though.

Understandable. I'm on R/Mensrights all the time, even posted it there.

Same name, you can look at my history.

I also have a blog on Wordpress I started not long ago called TheAllowedDamaged

It's at the moment only about intactivism.

Quite a few interesting things on there. I support your drive to write longer cited essays using the medical textbooks.

I'm going to have to talk to the others about the go fund me though.

Maybe instead of money we can donate used textbooks somehow?

I feel that's a better solution.

www.b-ok.xyz got a large collection of such books

I've stated a wiki page that chronologs shared parenting bills by state and year (US only right now, sorry). I've completed 13 bills so far and believe I have come up with a pretty good format, but it's rather time consuming and difficult to gather the information on this topic. Many state bills don't have any press about them, as they are either new or not popular enough. Can I get anyone who wants to donate some time to help me with research and contributing to this wiki article? PM or @ me here (I have notifications off most of the time).

Want to get more awareness of men's issues out there? The guardian is asking for you to submit your men's rights issues and how they effect you and men around you

Interesting opportunity. However it is The Guardian so I am skeptical.

I'd still rather they hear from MRA's on the issues, rather than feminists and the like, even if they do somehow spin it to a feminist narrative

Yeah, that’s true.

The guardian and lick my scrotum

@turbulance4 Nice job

@InsaneCaterpilla Agreed. I think people here should bombard them with info. Whatever it takes to shake them more.

They have shown signs of weakening their stance, and that's good. we need to press this

Let's do this

@Men Are Human thank you, that was another thing I was doing on Facebook. I asked if people could not donate monetarily, if they had texts or equipment that may help.

@Indigo thank you

texts?

like text messages or books?

@Bobby_Hill I am trying to get medical textbooks to help me get the protections girls have when it comes to genital mutilation extended to boys.

I currently dont have the resources that I need. I would like to get hard copies of the books but for now e-book versions are good.

what do you mean when you say protections? western males will never be safe from mutilation if the hospitals don't inform the parents of the bad side of circumcision which they don't

@Bobby_Hill I'm planning on starting with my state which has a fgm law. It states that religious and cultural reasons are prohibited. On that language alone just to start I want to challenge the fact boys are not protected.

which state m8?

I trying at the legal level
