Reddit mentions of Uneasy Males: The American Men's Movement 1970-2000

I've been thinking about this lately, and something that could help is /r/mensrights should have a stickied AutoModerator comment for posts that hit /r/all, like many other subs do. Several subreddits have AutoMod post a sticky on every thread that reaches /r/all explaining what the subreddit is about. For example here is the /r/esist sub (not trying to start a debate on Trump, just using an example of what I'm talking about). I think this would be very helpful for us, especially since we often reach /r/all with posts that aren't the best quality. I think something along the lines of:

..........

Hello, and welcome to /r/MensRights! This is a subreddit for discussions of men's issues and promoting gender equality.

This subreddit represents only a small part of the men's rights movement. For further information about the men's rights movement, The Red Pill (no relation to the subreddit) is a recent documentary made by a feminist as she learns about MRAs and men's issues. For more information about the issues that MRAs are concerned about, see the reference book of men's issues in our sidebar. There are also many videos on youtube, such as this speech by men's rights leader Warren Farrell, discussing men's issues.

Further reading about men's issues:

• The Hazards of Being Male – Surviving the Myth of Masculine Privilege (1976) – Herb Goldberg
  
  
• The Myth of Male Power (1993) – Warren Farrell
  
  
• The War Against Boys (2001) – Christina Hoff Sommers
  
  
• Why Men Are The Way They Are (1988) - Warren Farrell
  
  
• For a review of the history of the men's movement: Uneasy Males: The American Men's Movement 1970-2000 - (2005) Edward Gambill
  
  For activism supporting men's equality, consider joining MHRA Connect or getting involved with men's rights groups such as the National Coalition For Men or the Canadian Association For Equality

  That's just a rough idea of what I'm thinking, the actual language can be changed, whatever works, but the basic idea is to give people more information about our movement in a stickied comment at the top of every /r/all thread. We can also add in any ongoing fundraisers or activism we have going on, since those are rarely seen by anybody except daily users of the sub. The important thing to remember is: Tens of thousands of people see an /r/all post, and the vast majority of them ARE NOT MRAs. They know nothing about our movement or about men's issues, and for many people that /r/all post is their first ever experience with the Men's Rights Movement.
  
  /u/othermod /u/AloysiusC /u/mensmod what do you think, can we make this happen? This way at least when a shitpost about manspreading makes it to /r/all, we can use it to promote awareness of actual men's issues to thousands of people who have no other contact with MRAs.
  

>I've personally found Wikipedia to be pretty decent on feminism

I'm not a "GamerGater" but I remember the Wiki article on that was horribly biased in favor of anti-gamer feminists. And the Men's Liberation Movement article is the one I talked about that the /r/menslibber brought up. It contains very few citations and misrepresents the history of the Men's Liberation Movement, which was often used as a synonym for the Men's Rights Movement. Idk how much you know about the history of MRAs and the men's movement but read Uneasy Males for an actual history of the men's movement.

> but I'll take a look at your link.

My link was just one example, there are other sources that show this is a pattern.

>There's also the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's pages on feminism for example

I agree, though some feminists try to deny that when you point out that academic feminists believe rape is generally understood to involve sexual penetration of a person by force and/or without that person's consent
