Why can't the MRAs pull it together?

That was in 1848, yet it wasn't until the 1920s that most countries mandated that women must have equal voting rights. The MRM is in comparison much newer and has in fact influenced policy change in the areas of child custody and in a couple states with domestic violence shelter access. Feminists didn't have to fight an established MRM to accomplish change. The MRM now has to fight a very established, very powerful, very wealthy feminist movement to make change. It will take time.

I agree their recent conference could have been better organized. While they did a good job of telling who their speakers were, finding out precisely what topics were being addressed should have been much easier to learn. It's their first major one however. I'm sure they'll improve.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_rights_movement

The men's rights movement is considered to be a backlash or countermovement to feminism.[3][39] The men's rights movement consists of diverse points of view which reject feminist and profeminist ideas.[citation needed][40] Men's rights activists have said that they believe that feminism has overshot its objective and harmed men.[15][19][41] They dispute that men as a group have institutional power and privilege[42][43] and believe that men are victimized and disadvantaged relative to women.[44][45][15][46] Men's rights groups generally reject the notion that feminism is interested in men's problems[40] and men's rights activists have viewed the women's movement as a plot to conceal discrimination against men.[15][47][48]

OK

Because there are no truly pressing men's rights issues that need to be solved immediately. If there were, they would feel more motivated to start making viable plans to take quick action. Their constant lack of action is a sign that they do not have any needs that they feel are truly pressing, not for men's rights anyway. Most of the actions they have taken in the past were mostly for the purpose of roadblocking the women's rights movement. Any activism for the majority of the actual issues men face, which incidentally existed before feminism, have been tellingly lacking.

@Woody

Actions speak louder than words. I want to believe that the MRM actually cares about those issues you mentioned, instead of just wanting to shut down the women's rights movement, but their actions say something quite different, at least most of the time anyway. If they really do feel these issues are pressing, they are not behaving the way a group would behave when desperate for some assistence.

umm you got it wrong there, the men rights movement put already together a number of men and some went to the recent men rights conference which went mainstream already, here the "note" to it you have missed http://video.foxnews.com/v/3653398640001/feminists... a plenty of good points from the MRAs

you have failed to keep us small. there will be more activity than that in the men rights movement and we will get out rights, LIKE IT OR NOT !

What is an MRA? Aren't those some kind of a radiology diagnoses type procedure?

I think we're pulling it together just fine, thank you.

Um, MRAs do pull it. Together. A lot.

I'm with stupid
