Richard Doyle, with 40 years in the trenches of the men’s/fathers’ movement under his belt (No other activist, living or dead, has that distinction), has an important message for all movement members, especially its leaders.
In his latest book “Save the Males†(Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble bookstores), Doyle takes off the gloves with all the brashness and forthrightness at his command. Doyle warns that not only are men, fathers, children and families in jeopardy from modern anti-male trends, but also civilization itself. He sees that Western civilization is in the midst of a fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional manly values and those who want to change society into a “secular–progressive,” feminist-dominated community. In this book he fights the good fight for the traditional values that have served this country so well for so long. The stakes are high and time is not on our side.
In the ongoing struggle for the movement’s heart and soul, “Save the Males†poses the proposition that men must act as such and take charge of our destiny. Calling upon all major organizations and their spokesmen, Doyle argues for ultimate unification of the movement, borrowing the nation’s motto “E Pluribus Unum” (“From Many, One”); but more immediately and more practically he calls for a much higher degree of cooperation and communication. This entails putting aside petty, egotistic differences and rallying the disparate elements of the fractured men’s/fathers’ movement.
Doyle maintains that the necessary means of intra-movement communication already exist: electronically with Mensnewsdaily.com and in print with ACFC’s The Liberator. See “Save the Males†for more specific recommendations. A 2nd edition is already in the planning stage, and the author is requesting input from established movement activists.
