: Hello all,
: I am currently developing a new organisation for men tentatively called Mens' Action Network or Mens' Equity Network ie MAN or MEN. TLAs (three letter acronyms) stick in peoples' minds! AMEN has also been suggested but hmm, a bit religous I think, and we are at the beginning of our struggle not the end. I would like feedback on your preferences or problems with these names.
: Why another one? Well, I think at this early point in the struggle, the more the merrier.
: Aims and objectives.
: I'm still nutting them out, but essentially I believe that in Australia today, we live in a hostile, politically correct, anti-male environment. I have two sons aged three and five. I do not want to leave them a world in which they have to sit down to pee.
: Draft aims and objectives;
:
: 1. The organisation will act ONLY through the legitimate and legal means available in our democracy.
: 2. The organisation will not be anti-female. Who could be? But it will be sincerely anti-feminist.
: 3. The organisation will provide male oriented input to gender equity issues where ever and whenever they arise.
: 4. The organisation will work towards reforming or abolishing the CSA, FCA and other anti-male organisations. Afirmitive Action, anti-male discrimination and young mens' education are some other issues which need addressing.
: 5. Lots of other things not yet sorted through.
: Please float ideas, objections, problems through this forum and/or the FathersAgainstCSA discussion group at E-groups.com .Otherwise contact me directly at glavin@one.net.au
: Regards,
: Bill.
