Meetup.com is a brilliant, simple and free (!) website which allows like-minded people to meet up in their home town, wherever in the world this might be. If you visit the site you will understand how this works. There are pages devoted to all sorts of interests and categories and I have persuaded them to start a category for men opposed to feminism and political correctness, which I have called ‘Traditional Men’. If you are a ‘traditional man’ please join up so that we can all meet up, have a few drinks and discuss issues of interest to us among like-minded friends. Also, if you know anyone else who might be interested in this idea please pass this message on to them too. Let’s fight the good fight – and have fun doing it! Nick"

Good Idea, But .... (Score:1) by JustSayNo on Tuesday December 09, @06:07AM EST (#1) (User #1214 Info) This is a good idea, but I think there are 2 fatal flaws in the execution: 1. The name, "Traditional Men", strongly suggests that this group wants to roll back the *legitimate* gains that women have made in the workplace, schools, etc. "Traditional Men" shouts out: "We want to go back to the TRADITIONAL sex roles!". My fear is that the name itself is going to doom this effort. 2. The "What" section on the Meetup web site, says that the group is "opposed to feminism". Again, this usage makes it appear that the group is opposed to ALL feminism, including the *legitimate* changes that have been made. May I suggest adding an adjective or two? Best one is "radical", as in "radical feminism". It's important to ensure that we're NOT working against women, either in reality or in appearance; we're working against the *excesses* of feminism and against anti male sexism.

Then again, "feminism" to them may mean a far greater concern with the welfare of females than with the welfare of men, which is, of course, fundamentally corrupt. And "traditional" to them may suggest no more than a desire to preserve marriage as an institution and to keep men in the lives of their children. In any case, readers on MANN can decide for themselves if they agree with the goals of the group and whether or not they'd care to join and try to steer the group in a moderate direction. -- Female supremacists are idiots. Throw laughter at them.

I take it you're saying it's fundamentally corrupt to believe that the welfare of females deserves far greater concern than that of males. If that's what you're saying, I agree.

I wrote "men" rather than "males" by accident. In any case it was my intent to state what you just stated. We're in agreement. -- Female supremacists are idiots. Throw laughter at them.
