MRm! - Second Issue
The second issue of MRm!, the edgy new magazine of an unapologetically pro-male political slant, is now available for the enjoyment of the world. The PDF e-version may be downloaded HERE:

This edition features contributions by such notables as Paul Elam, Hawaiian Libertarian, Welmer, Christopher Vogel, Federz, Dr. Tara J. Palmatier, Stephen Baskerville, Teri Stoddard, and Zed.
You will note that two of these contributors are women. You also will note the absence of divisive, non-MRA issues. Good policy there! This magazine does not lug extraneous baggage into the conversation. Message discipline!
My own humble input is an article entitled Female Freedom and the Death of Marriage, which begins on page 42. It is a rewrite of an old CF item.
Enjoy. Spread copies all over the universe. I expect that Factory will make the print version available one of these days for whomsoever hankers for hardcopies.

WOW! 52 pages! I am going to deinately read this! I have been starving for more since the last edition.
So far, disappointed by their conclusions, but I expected that.
And I didn't know that guys go through such a horrible experience as exposed in the "where's my socket set?" article, mainly because among all the families I know of, including my own, the gifts given at birth are for the baby or religiously oriented (i.e. for the baptism) - and no, daddy is not staying up all night with a newborn - not only because he doesn't have paps and it would be pointless but because he is busting a** working all day and needs his sleep. That's not to say that fathers, being male, are in capable of parenting, but I am saying that fathers can't be good mothers because they simply weren't engineered for it.
Of course if there is ever a time that extra effort by both spouses is needed it's at the birth of a newborn, but it's sadistic that women in general should should give men the scourge every time a birth comes around, as if though they knocked the woman up (unwillingly on her part) and didn't give her any support in the interim or will let her down in the future.
I can only think that they are taking the, "men can't TRULY relate to what you just went through" syndrome too far. Too far especially given that women today have epidurals and c-sections now instead of performing as nature intended with all the pain involved. Child birth has nearly become a ho-hum experience for women - how many times have I heard women say, "It was great! I didn't feel a thing!"
So it seems to me the congratulations to women on a successful birth are disproportionate to the work performed - in these new high tech medically backed births, shouldn't the credit go predominantly to the doctors and nurses? Or perhaps we are supposed to congratulate these mothers on just the fact that they carried the child nine months and made it through to the end without killing their fetus?
Anyway, I guess here is another reason why I am glad my spouse and I are trad Caths; that is just way too irritating for a guy to deal with. I remember a guy friend of mine, a priest now, flipping out at the attitude so many women have towards men around birthing time. "It's not as if having another child doesn't cause a man pain as much as it does the mother! The pain is simply different. Women have to deal with the physical discomfort of bearing the child, men have to deal with the financial stresses of providing for another dependent. That's not nothing!"
I hate feminists! They are just screwing up everything!!!
To Fidelbogen Factory and Crew,
Please don't lose the steam. I just glanced at the second issue and already my heart is just a little happier to see some one actually materializ an idea I have had for such a long time but spirit has been to weak to see to product.
Thank you so much. This kind of work is long long over due. I love the declaration section so much.
I can't admire enough your ability to work and create tangible products becuase I know how painful it is to live daily with a painful internalization of gender conflict literally in my bones.
Perhaps a good article could revolve around doing this work while being with the pain that has prompted it. Perhaps you can mention how your relationship to the internal pain has changed or transfomed as you have taken progressive steps or action.
I beleive it is a bit of a paradox that we shall or should let God sort out these matter of the heart while at the same time God helps those who help themselves.
A long term slogan "consciousness as men" perhaps. Please continue on.
