Time Now To Exercise Your Political Muscles

After all this time, and an endless supply of Youtube commentators, blogs and other worthy efforts, we still have almost no political activity in favor of changing the laws in favor of men’s interests. This especially includes divorce law, but also includes domestic violence, “sexual assault,” “sexual harassment,” Civil Rights laws that basically amount to favoritism for women employees, policies of universities, and others we could name.

Much of this is State law, so the place to focus is on just one State, probably the State you live in. We just need one man, who, in his free time, takes an interest in these matters, and begins the process of legislative change. This means: a) defining the problem; b) proposing a solution (with the consultation of experts such as divorce lawyers); c) contacting State Representatives, which is not that hard to do. You then explain to the State Representative: a) the problem; b) a ready-made solution. It is something that a man can do in his free time, in evenings and weekends. Once you get started, you can also ask for others’ support of your efforts, in the form of donations to your cause.

Only a few men would do this. For the rest of us, we need to get in the habit of contributing to a cause — and not just doom scrolling on Youtube. I have long suggested making an annual donation to the National Coalition For Men. The NCFM was founded in 1977, and has been around for a while. But, this is not to argue about whether the NCFM is a “good” or “bad” organization, or whether it is effective or not. The main issue here is to exercise your political muscles, by actually donating real money, now, to a real existing organization, that is at least nominally in your interest. I suggest $25. ncfm.org. I also suggest donating some amount of money to the YouTuber or blogger of your choice, who you feel makes a positive contribution to the discussion. Again $25 is fine.

If you are not willing to donate $50 a year for action in your own interests, then you deserve everything you get.
