Any interest in a DU Masculinist group?
There is a DU FEMINIST group. The question was asked whether there would be a DU Masculinist group. Since it is important to give this question the benefit of the doubt, as though it were asked in all sincerity, I am starting this thread.

So...men and women of DU.

DO you see a need or desire for a DU MASCULINIST group?
If so, what would the mission statement be?

If there is enough interest and a mission statement, I will gladly submit this thread to Skinner in the interest of equity.

18. Exactly!
We'll just sit around, drink, and not clean the living room.

When we do talk, it will probably be about how our girlfriend/wife never FUCKING STOPS talking.

:)

13. Actually, men and others may have issues they would like to discuss
with like minded people, free of encumberance. As with the Feminist Group, as long as the issues stay free of breaking the rules, I see no harm in giving these issues their own space. I figured we should see if there is an interest and a mission statement.

4. Isn't that GD?
Consider the fortune in NOT having a group, and then the intensive
discussions of those issues will only be seen by a handful, and most
of GD will lose out on the community of the group-lurkers. Just think,
GD is not free of drugs laws reformers, voting reformers and now
feminists. Pretty soon, all that'll be left in GD is republicans. ;-)

7. Do we get to sing "YMCA" while wearing uniforms?
will any weight lifting be involved? maybe some cigars and poker?

12. When female supremacy and the matriarchy oppress all men on a daily
basis, then I'll join.

17. Well, I certainly would support men's rights
to their own space and to talk about men's issues. I do think that men have their own issues, as men, in this very complicated world that we are all navigating. :shrug:

19. I completely agree
I did not start this thread as a joke or a swipe...although, given the protests on the feminist thread, I DID start it so that all may have equity in commingling with like minded individuals rather than complain the opportunity does not exist.

21. Would it be exclusive to those poor victimized
white masculinists, who still have a penis and testicles, or could all masculinists join?

23. As long as you can stratch your crotch,
it doesn't really matter what's there. It's all about attitude.
