2001 has definitely been an exciting and promising year for the men's movement. From young Clayton Giles' hunger strike and bike trip across Canada and to Washington, D.C, to the publication of "Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture," to the outcry over the Boulder Public Library's male bashing art exhibit "Hung out to dry" and more, there has been a lot of activity and increasing media coverage of men's issues.

The Mensactivism.org community has also grown by leaps and bounds, particularly with the announcement that the Individualist Feminist movement, headed by Wendy McElroy, and Mensactivism.org are going to work on more joint projects in the future. The fact that more and more women are joining our movement (including the efforts of Trudy Schuett herself!) are signs that we have a lot to look forward to in 2002. And while we still need to promote men's groups and help awaken more men to the sexism that is silently destroying their lives, no one can deny that it is only when men and women work together with trust and respect for each other that justice for everyone will be achieved.

There are so many people we'd like to thank for their efforts and support that to do so would fill up many pages. So, to keep it short, we'd like to thank every single person who has visited Mensactivism.org this year and wish you all Happy Holidays!

Let's make 2002 at least as good as 2001 for men's rights!

Sincerely,
