It's getting tough to be a man
in this changing world of ours.
Men and boys don't know what
to expect and the world has grown
increasingly hostile and critical of them.


Laws have been put in place that
actively discriminate against men.
In this world, children and women
have rights. Animals have rights.
Yet what about Men's Rights ?
No one speaks boldly for them.
No Shelters for Men. No social
services or protections for Men.


Men and boys are falling behind in
education. The justice system is set
up against them and for a man to
get justice in today's world is a rare
occurence.


Good men are unfairly jailed and kept
away from their loved ones. A bitter
and vindictive faction of society demonizes
men and boys and shows them as little more
than dangerous and mindless beasts.


They have forgotten that men are basically
decent and need love and support as well
as respect just like everybody else in this
world. Who speaks for Men's Rights ? What
are the national organizations for men ? Where
are men's resources and social services ?
Where are advocacy groups for men ? They
cannot be seen because they don't exist.


Men are seen as the scapegoats of society.
They get no love or respect and get blamed
for everything under the sun. They get no
respect at home or on the job. As fathers,
husbands, sons, uncles, nephews, brothers,
cousins and anything else, they need to be
respected.


The western world is not exactly a place that
is friendly to males. Just step into a courtroom
and you will see what I mean. I encourage
my fellow men to fight for their rights before
it is too late. Someone has declared a war
against men and men need to stand up for
themselves. Otherwise, we are doomed. All of us.


Men are worthy of the same respect that modern
women demand. Men have the same responsibilities
as women, and sometimes more. They deserve the
same rights and protections. The bias against men
needs to become a thing of the past. Men need to
become men again.


The end.

respect

Why don't we just say that both men and women are worthy of respect.

Biases against the male, especially the white male? Sure. But it's not like they're helpless, or any other group or gang that's out there.
