These are serious experts who sincerely want public policy on DV to be honest and research-based. The organizers are putting in a lot of unpaid time and are borrowing money to put this on. It is taking an enormous amount of time and money. ANY donations, even small ones, are extremely helpful. It could really be groundbreaking.

This conference will be reaching out to the people who can tangibly affect change in domestic violence laws and policies. Judging by last years conference, this one will be even more dynamic. If anyone has been waiting to support an effort that will work directly in the center of powers to change domestic violence laws to an honest paradigm, this one appears to be it. I've heard there are plans to professionally document this event so future education and training can ensue from this stellar cast of scholarly presenters. Yes, I'm personally supporting this effort with a lot more than just words.

So, how come these are the very first words at the very top of the web page at the link above to Glenn's excellent article?

Might there be a commercial symbiosis between a growing men's movement and the glut of web advertiser's seeking to sell men false solutions for problems caused by feminism?

(Lots of feminist divorce attorneys advertise on feminist sites...)

Oddly, no banner ads for condoms or vasectomies preface Glenn's writing.

That would at least be theoretically empowering for MRAs.

..but at times he is as confused as the other pro-female MRAs.
