I’m not saying that it doesn’t happen, but i’m tired of seeing it presented as if 90% of all women are getting beaten on a weekly basis. The problem is that abuse is portrayed as simply something that women face. Most men are taught from an early age that you don’t hit women. This can put a man in a precarious position when a woman becomes violent.
So today I thought, why not have an awareness campaign for men? You could call it something like “I didn’t hit back” and have a photo (Like the one I have with my black eye) with your personal story. I just wonder how long it would take to be shot down….

Then the very next thing will be, “he must have done something to deserve it and he’s a creep”, next “well I don’t know why he stays, he’s enabling this, it’s his fault”.

But I would plaster those pictures everywhere because subliminally they would raise consciousness that women are just as aggressive as men.

That’s what i’m talking about. The idea that it’s ok for women to destroy property, or inflict injury on a man for some injustice, whether it’s only perceived or real. I have friends who have had property destroyed, simply because their girlfriend/wife felt wronged in some way. The problem is that none of them pressed charges. Even if they had tried, they would probably be made to feel like an asshole for doing so, or laughed at.
If we’re going to have a big campaign about abuse, shouldn’t it be abuse in general?

MGTOW is a statement in it’s own right. Society needs to understand that MGTOW are already lost to it, the MRAs, (if they were smart) would be holding MGTOW up as an example of the losses and damage caused by Feminism and warning of more to come if they keep ONLY listening to womens issues. But from what i read, the MRAs aren’t organised, focused or even coherent in their messages, so don’t hold your breath for them to manage something like this either.

The harder the fight the sweeter the victory

Hmm, my take on this one LazarusLong wouldn’t be “I need MGTOW bcause…”  but much rather “I am a MGTOW because…” if anything otherwise it would be viewed as to close to have been copycatted, get it..?

But other than that as a side note, I still think the timing for any such an idea or a similar one is just not right yet as it is still way to early for that same or similar as I think it’s still to early for Tim Patten going on that men eating show…

Maybe once our member numbers are getting into the 10 000s or 100 000 s at the earliest or say once we may have any notable impact on the system itself for that matter. Those ideas in principle are A-OK, although maybe a bit pre-mature.

Once again, just my two €- sents there.

I do think that working on the idea so that it is ready when the timing presents itself is a good idea though.

Ned I completely agree with you. I left it that way because I wanted it to be deliberately derisive by using the exact thing they say. But for an actual campaign you are completely correct.

Picture this visual in your mind’s eye…

A picture…a billboard set on an ominous dark backdrop….there is a man on the right side with a black eye, bloody lip, scratches, and torn shirt.  He has a small overnight bag at his feet  with some clothes sticking out of it.  His face is stoic.  He is kneeling down with his arms around his young son who is crying and holding on to his father in obvious fear.  To the left of them and separated by several feet is Princess Cupcake in an obvious rage shaking her fists and screaming.  The billboard text reads, “What are you teaching your sons?”

I think such a campaign would be much more effective now and would reframe the legal/societal perceptions of men by focusing on the trauma our children experience.  YMMV,,,
