News From Around the World
This picture is from a men's rights demonstration in Mexico City. Several hundred men took part in this protest march, with some women scattered among them.
In case your Español is not up to scratch, the picket sign declares: "MEN OF THE WORLD, UNITE!"
I like that. After all, they could have said "men of Mexico", but there's nothing like acting locally and thinking globally, eh? ;) I mean. . . we ARE a global movement!
And need I remind you all, yet again, that the time for argument is past? If we grow our numbers and mobilize, then we can roll right over the opposition and make them part of the tarmac. Feminism was a very big event in history, no doubt, but the movement to blow feminism off its self-constructed pedestal shall be equally big if not bigger.
And I believe it is going to happen. Already, I see a few of them mending their dispositions and easing nonchalantly toward the exit doors. I hope, in time, to see that motion swell into a panic-stricken stampede.
The verdict of history will not assess feminism kindly. It had BETTER not. If feminism gets out of this scrimmage with a crumb of honor to its name, it will mean that our work is incomplete. For even if all the iniquity toward men be set to rights, our revolution will have failed if feminism moults its skin like a serpent, and reinvents itself, and keeps going under a freshly-minted cloak of respectability. That must not occur.
No new lease on life for them! When their lease is up, it's up!
Somehow, we must overturn the ink bottle upon the ledger of history, to leave an indelible blot. Feminism must come out permanently marked or branded with a dramatic scar across its face—the way that scoundrels were marked or branded in the olden days of cruel-and-unusual criminal justice, the better to flag them as a warning to all and sundry.
So. . . I have observed something about our worldwide movement. It divides into a pair of distinctly noticeable lobes. On the one hand: the Anglosphere—that means England, the USA, and the Commonwealth nations. On the other: Everybody Else—that means Continental Europe, for example. And India. And Mexico, as we see. And other places too, no doubt.
Now since I am writing in English, from North America, it's a fair bet that I belong to the Anglosphere. Furthermore, I am a mighty man with words, and that makes me a poster boy for the Anglosphere at large. And why? Because: the Anglophone sector of the worldwide men's movement is ALL TALK. All blogs, all manifestos, all brainstormings, all trollings on feminist websites! And, at best, scattered activisms.
But Everybody Else is beginning to organize on a large scale, and even taking it to the streets in a serious way.
How very, very different they are, from us! How very, very different we are, from them! Really, what are we Anglospherics good for? What is our special gift? What unique thing have we got to offer to this worldwide movement, other than words, words, words? Are we rotten wood? Can we even be carved at all?
At any rate, I thank you kindly for reading my words. Now, go and watch the Reuters news clip on YouTube, here:

Everytime I think about the MRA movement in the Anglosphere, I also think to myself "Are we all just talk, Or should we be like the line spoken in the movie Fight club."
The people you are after are the people you depend on.
We cook your meals, we haul your trash,
we connect your calls,
we drive your ambulances.
We guard you while you sleep.
DO NOT... f**K WITH US.
I'm with Paul on this.
North Americans have proved before that we know how to fight tyranny with more than words.
Words are needed too,though, because a great many men have grown up behind the lace curtain under the velvet fist of feminism and to put it quite bluntly, they don't know any other way of life.
I believe a man who wanted to motivate men to protest for men's rights would have to appeal to the individualist and risk-taking streak we men possess. Show men how feminism is taking away their opportunities in the name of "equality",and how its ultimate end is our complete enslavement and eventual societal collapse, and they will revolt against its tyranny,no matter what the human cost.
I wonder if it would help to not play by their rules (so to speak). I would think that it has become increasingly hard for men to treat women in the traditional sense of the role, as a woman but with respect, simply b/c feminists see a male being a gentleman as being chauvanistic. I think so many people are caving (men and women alike) to feminist demands (or hyper sensitivities) simply b/c they don't want to rock the boat.
So many women I know of miss the beauty of the differences between the sexes and really do wish that men would treat them as women and treat themselves as men, i.e. have a backbone, shoulder the burden, you get the drift...
Feminism, like so many other things from this century isn't working and is just progressively screwing up the order of society more and more. It'll take one person, male and female, at a time to really combat the feminist movement.
It seems to be getting to the point though that in the new generation the men don't know how to be men and the women don't know how to be women. True femininity and masculinity (not in the macho sense!)are very nearly gone. How can we expect this generation to know the proper order when it has been disestablished for so long? At the very least there are going to have to be an awful lot of young people willing to read self-help books on the subject.
So far I'd say the devil has been quite successful in seriously mucking around with humanity in this century.
"I wonder if it would help to not play by their rules (so to speak). ."
Do you mean by the feminists' rules?
Point taken!! That is the heart of what I preach!
I think what it's gonna take, is continual agitation and exposure of feminism, both as a movement and as an ideology. Plenty of people know in their guts that "something is terribly out of whack". . but they aren't sure exactly what.
What they need is an explanation. ;)
As for men's and women's 'roles', what really burns the worst, IMO, is the loss of simple, decent, elementary companionableness. Not all men are "manly" in the rugged manner, just as not all women are "traditionally feminine" (some lean to the tomboy side, after all!). But whatever you think their respective personnae ought to be, the real disaster is that feminism has poisoned the water between them, and made them into JEALOUS COMPETITORS. And that. . . is bad, bad, bad, evil juju! I'm afraid there is no plausible future in such a thing — it points in only one direction: straight down the drainpipe! :(
As for the new generation: they are like grass in the wind. When the wind stops blowing, the grass stands up straight again.
Timeless things, established since the dawn of humanity, are not so easily disestablished as you might believe. . .
Of course, some good books might help to kick things loose. Like humming a few bars so the tune will come back to them! ;)
"Everytime I think about the MRA movement in the Anglosphere, I also think to myself "Are we all just talk . . ."
AND: "Words are needed too,though, because a great many men have grown up behind the lace curtain under the velvet fist of feminism and to put it quite bluntly, they don't know any other way of life."
Yup. Let's not underestimate the power of the spoken or written word to sway hearts and minds. "Talk", for all of its limitations, beats the hell out of silence in such scenarios as we are now contemplating. For when somebody wants to SILENCE YOU, that's proof positive that talk is dangerous to THEM (and therefore valuable to YOU!)
I believe that the Anglosphere needs to overcome certain cultural issues that create INERTIA. It will take a mighty force to rouse us from our inertia, since we are psychologically conservative and disinclined to rock the boat, or to 'make a scene'.
We are long-suffering and we have a long fuse, so things may need to get quite a bit worse in order to reach a critical mass of intolerableness. But once we are FINALLY stirred to wrath. . . look out!!
I'd like to direct you to think article FB, which intersects feminism and its action very closely to the Woman Question.
Such that, I believe, a connection between the two is quite instrinsic and cannot be denied.

Actually as time goes on I find this "feminism" paradigm unsatisfactory - it can all to easily to abstracted into meaningless. There's always the BS of PC dictionary definitions, "different types of feminists" [lie], etc.
Things are more easily - and accurately - described in terms of Matriarchy.
The whole issue is better understood in terms a "Matriarchal" paradigm.
In any event, to leave Matriarchy out of the analysis seems well nigh impossible to me.
But following your logic, CF, surely you can't instigate Matriarchy, as that implies direct connection to Woman, and Rule by Women.
@MRN:
Feminism = Female Supremacism
Female Supremacism = Advocacy of Female Supremacy
And finally:
Female Supremacy = "Matriarchy".
. . . so you see, in the end it all comes to the same thing.
All roads lead to Rome, or in this case, all terminologies. :)
