I invite you to join The Tribe of Men

I woke up this morning inspired to do something relating to 'tribes'. My interest in tribes, and my blog post about it yesterday, as well as a conversation I was having online with a woman that supported my anti-feminist and masculist points of view resulted in me deciding to do something that brought it all together.

So I created a new community on Google Plus and called it The Tribe of Men.



You're invited to join it if any of the following is aligned with your beliefs and values:

MEN - do you feel as if 'being a man' is a relic of a bygone era and something to be ashamed of or even punished for? Are you seeing human rights for minorities and women's rights for women, but a significant lack of men's rights, when you believe there should just be human rights for everyone? Do you see a system turning a blind eye to men's issues in favor of women's issues (particularly in relation to laws and attitudes around domestic violence) and believe that's wrong? Do you believe in equality, but are frustrated because you don't see it and you want to?

WOMEN - do you feel it's wrong for non-feminist women to stay silent as they watch feminism increasingly criminalize masculinity? Do you believe more women should stand up and add their voice to those men who are calling for equal rights because you see the pendulum has swung too far towards feminist demands? Are you wanting to encourage men to be the men they were born to be and ignore feminist attempts to discourage their masculinity?

Join this community and add your voice! All men and women are welcome to join this tribe of men.

This community is for men to feel comfortable being men, to share what's important to them, and to be supported. It's for ALL PEOPLE who believe both men and women should stand together to strive for equal rights, not just women's rights. It's for those who believe that men being masculine and women being feminine is the way things are meant to be, and are essential for the healthy development of relationships, families and their children, and the continuation of a strong and cohesive society.

We need to be embrace our differences and our individual and unique strengths, while supporting each other. We need each other, and our children need need us to work together with love and support. We don't need to find ways to be better than each other, but we do need to find ways to support each other.

Join this community if you share these beliefs and values. Share this community with your friends who share the same values. Help it grow. Help it be of value to those men who need it, and those women who value men, and those people who truly value equality.

(Make sure you avoid anger. It doesn't help. Anger and hate-filled words can be used against you or this community. By all means, share frustration if you feel it, but don't make statements that can be used against you or your fellow community members. Try to keep it constructive and positive.)
