It's true that the best way to break people in to the reality of it all is with subtle comments in regards to current events.<BR/><BR/>A good one is the NSPCC. They always use men as the abusers in their campaigns, everyone knows this, they also assume that's because it's true.<BR/><BR/>I then tell them that it isn't, and the NSPCC's own studies show it.<BR/><BR/>Then they ask 'well why are they showing men all the time for?'<BR/><BR/>Bingo, now I've opened their mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-29883725200344988422007-08-09T18:38:00.000-07:002007-08-09T18:38:00.000-07:00One of the 'subtle' techniques that I employ is wh...One of the 'subtle' techniques that I employ is when I am in the company of a like minded person who understands my opinions.<BR/><BR/>Take for example, my nephew. He is not heavily into mens rights, but understands why I am having witnessed a few scenes my 'soon to be' ex-wife engaged in proudly, as well as having had a violent g/f who thought it 'cool' to smack him - even in front of his mother.<BR/><BR/>So, there we were, walking up the high street of town babbling on about anything. Something came up and it got me on the subject of <A HREF="http://antimisandry.com/5the-vote" REL="nofollow">The Vote</A>. Rather than simply discuss this with him, I literally tagged (mentally) one guy who was walking in front of us and increased my pace to match his, walking just a couple or so feet behind him. I then increased my volume a little and proceeded to explain to my nephew, loud enough for this one man (and anyone crossing our paths) to hear clearly, how feminism used exaggeration and partial facts to lie to the masses about <A HREF="http://antimisandry.com/5the-vote" REL="nofollow">The Vote</A>. I discussed very briefly how they employed misinformation & people's unwillingness to seek out facts for themselves to their (feminists) advantage, and then finished by explaining that the majority of people still ignorantly assume that women didn't get the vote for 'eons', whereas the truth is - it was ten years. Additionally, I include the fact that it cost men thousands upon thousands of lives - as they were 'rewarded' for their efforts in the war, whereas women simply nagged for it, costing one <I>accidental</I> death. Finally, I asked him - "<I>So, given the choice between going to war, possibly losing a limb, your mind or maybe your life... vs complaining and nagging, what would you prefer as a means to getting the right to vote?</I>"<BR/>For all I know, the man in front of me <I>may</I> have walked on thinking "God damn, shut the hell up." or maybe "Damn... I didn't know that!!!"<BR/>I don't know - I doubt I ever will know. But if I've passed the truth onto one single guy in the process of my babbling to my nephew - then my job is done. What that man chooses to do with the information is beyond my control, but I taught him something.Anti Misandryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718972959441025152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-19267244347768404362007-08-02T13:10:00.000-07:002007-08-02T13:10:00.000-07:00Sure thing Kellymac!

I could see it making a change in attitudes. <BR/><BR/>Another example for edgar. <BR/><BR/>My friend collects pieces that go on key rings. She has lots of those sayings. Most that she has says things like, "Not all men are bad, only the live ones" and others that I can't remember off hand. <BR/><BR/>I told her they were terrible and nasty. She replied that the males think they're funnny. <BR/><BR/>So I changed them to "Not all women are bad, only the live ones." There were worse ones but she got the message. And besides she didn't think that men don't speak up for a reason but inside it must hurt being put down all the time.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976118343772925080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-38965161836137453542007-08-01T20:01:00.000-07:002007-08-01T20:01:00.000-07:00Thanks a lot.Please can you writer more examples?T...Thanks a lot.<BR/><BR/>Please can you writer more examples?<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058265150413650736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-65572133408862382702007-08-01T18:36:00.000-07:002007-08-01T18:36:00.000-07:00Thanks Rob! :)Thanks Rob! :)Keoni Galthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842553742723239151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-21957915472836946802007-08-01T18:21:00.000-07:002007-08-01T18:21:00.000-07:00One of the best pieces I've read in ages.I've post...One of the best pieces I've read in ages.<BR/>I've posted a link to it on the community board at <A HREF="http://menz.org.nz" REL="nofollow">MENZ</A>.<BR/><BR/>Rob CaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
