A Call to Action for All Men’s and Fathers Rights Activists
Seldom are there opportunities in the Men’s Movement for activists to universally coalesce around a single event. We have no national conventions, few organized protests, no membership drives or organized assemblies. And yet we are gaining momentum anyway.
Now we have an opportunity to act together for one important, pivotal day, and we can do it with no more effort than a few strokes of the keyboard.
That cause is male studies, sponsored by the On Step Institute (OSI). The day is April 7, 2010 — the day heads will turn.
Male studies programs are the answer to the feminist hegemony that has dominated academia and has been poisoning the education system for more than a generation.
Misandric organizations like NOMAS, AMSA and the AAUW are just three of many groups which have given us the plague of fabricated wage gaps, distorted, male-demonizing approaches to domestic violence and a host of other corrupted agendas aimed at the destruction of men and boys. All are rooted in, and supported by, the feminist control of higher education.
In speaking of male studies, MND board member and On Step Institute founder Ed Stephens, M.D., states unambiguously that this effort is vital to countering the “tsunami of gynocentric misandry that permeates our general culture, our university systems and our government, which uses billions of tax dollars to fund a war against men.”
Now just imagine, if you will, the possibilities of an organization like OSI, and the people in it, fostering male studies programs that address, with understanding uncompromised by feminist pressure, the damage done to our culture.
And now, imagine yourself picking up that torch as well and carrying the solution to the world.
Men’s rights activist John Dias of Misandryreview.com has put together a sterling collection of animated banners to get the word out all over the blogosphere about the upcoming Symposium on Male Studies.
Choose one or two of these banners and place them on your home page. Write other bloggers in the Men’s Rights Movement and ask them to join you.
Do the same with other blogs that are political in nature, or educational, or religious. They need not be MRA-oriented to be receptive to the value of the OSI objective.
In an act as simple as putting a banner on a Web site, you can help spread this critical message across the MRA world and beyond in these last 8 weeks before the conference. Oh, and once you have the banner installed on your site, go ahead and click through and register for the online stream of the conference. It will be the best $15.00 that you spend this year.
After two weeks have passed, if you see a men’s rights Web site or blog that does not have one of these banners, please write them respectfully and ask them why they aren’t supporting the greatest opportunity in forty years to further the cause of men and boys.
And if your next move is not to grab a banner and the URL from this page, the allow me to ask respectfully:
What are you waiting for? Just click through any of the four images below to see the full animated version and to download. Be sure to direct them only to:

Stumble It!
It is a good start lets us hope that the Male Studies Course isn’t stillborn before it can get off the ground. Though speaking for myself I’m much too independently minded to let someone else, much less the tyrannical leadership of a corrupt society, to tell me what it means to be a man in this day and age.
This is a great thing. I hope Universities across the world will establish Departments of Mens Studies.
@ Mr. Paulsen
That is fantastic! Many thanks for your efforts to support this important event.
Paul,
Your up and running on http://www.xtremepowersports.com, this site serves over 100,000 unique visitors monthly

A little of something is better than all of nothing. But lets face fact’s. Family’s have been destroyed. Children’s lives have been permanently damaged from P.A.S. Honest men that have worked very hard thier entire lives now struggle to survive. The criminal’s that are behind this multibillion dollar extortion racket will never be exposed.
I think it would be a good thing to refer to Men AND BOYS because it’s harder for individual women to denigrate boys AS viciously as they do men, although they still are willing to do so often.
@ Puma, Schopenbecq
Thank you both for helping to spread the message.
There are two fundamental reasons that the term male studies is used rather than men’s studies.
First, men’s studies has already been usurped and is in widespread use by feminist academic front groups like NOMAS and AMSA. So there was a need to brand the new initiative with something less likely to be confused with what amounts to another women’s studies program.
Additionally, the use of male is all encompassing. It includes the study of men from birth, through boyhood, adolescence and beyond, until the end of life. It covers men beyond preconceived and politically constructed notions of their manhood.
It took me a bit to adjust to it, too, but in the end I think these men have nailed it down correctly.
Allright, the banner is up at Wedded Abyss (at the end of the essay).
The banners are excellent and I’ve added a couple to my blog. I’ll devote a post to letting readers be aware of it as well.
I’m 100% behind this and think and hope it could be a pivotal moment in men’s rights, but I would like to enquire as to why ‘Male Studies’ and not ‘Men’s Studies’?
I’m not saying that it would be better if it were titled ‘mens’ but I presume discussion was had as to which one should be used. Men’s studies probably sounds more natural so it must have been actively decided that there were good reasons to justify choosing ‘male’. I’d just be interested to know what those reasons were.
Great work.
More guys will be drawn to it if it is renamed “Men’s Studies”.
Done!

I had a link on my blog already but a banner will be more effective. Good call, Paul.
“Now we have an opportunity to act together for one important, pivotal day”
I thought you were talking about boycotting Valentine’s Day.
@ shatteredmen
Just copy the green HTML code shown just beneath whatever image you prefer.
You should be able to copy and paste the URL for the direct which is provided above. If there is additional code needed (I am not a tech whiz for sure) I will edit the article to include it. I was able to get all of the banners to show up, so it may just be a connection issue.
Thanks for helping with this and if you don’t have this resolved by Saturday night, please post again and I will make sure you get some help.
Paul
Paul is there a code that we have to get to put it on our website? I could not find one but I think I can save the picture and put it on the Shattered Men website (which I will do by Monday)
The “disapproving teacher” banner is not showing up but it may be due to the Internet being slow right now.
