David Usher’s comment on this blog welcomed me back into “action.â€Â Actually, I was never out of it, having merely changed focus from non-productively rehashing with newcomers the arguments and minor issues that have been around for over 30 years ? to writing a book “Save the Males†(www.mensdefense.org) covering the entire spectrum of gender problems and solutions.
It is my long-considered opinion that, in order to overcome the many forces oppressing us and emerge from this wilderness we have been wandering in, we must marshal the resources and talents existing among activists worldwide. How do we begin marshaling this “Manpower�  In my opinion, we must convince the top leadership of ACFC and NCFC of the necessity to, if not unify, at least wholeheartedly cooperate. When these two strong (relatively speaking) coalitions realize the necessity and advantages of cooperation, the smaller groups should be swept along, building a force equivalent to or greater than that of feminism. Sure, there will be the usual nitpickers and ankle-biters, but their influence will be minimized.   Richard Doyle
