I just thought I would start a thread about the men's rights conference in June.  I was wondering if maybe Doctor Evil or someone else had any ideas about what sort of posters/signs/slogans etc. could be brought to the lobbying effort.  Also, what other kinds of activism could we employ on this day?  

I want this thread to be a brainstorm regarding ideas for activism.

Equality before the law. Very important.

I just thought of an idea for a sign in that vein,

"Men deserve presumption of innocence"

"False accusations destroy lives and go unpunished"

"Paternity fraud destroys lives"

"Michigan beats dads dead!"

"It is a crime to be poor in Michigan"

"Child support officials are corrupt"

"Feminism: from each according to his ability to each according to HER needs"

"Joint custody IS the best interests of children!"

"Children NEED fathers!"

Anyone else think of some more?

Some more sign/t-shirt ideas collected from when I first posed a similar question to another group in the summer of 2002:

"Men are good people"

"Men are people too"

"I think -- therefore I'm unmarried"

"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention to feminism."

"No one is free when men are oppressed" (Guaraunteed to raise ire)

"Shave a feminist today"

"My paycheck - her choice"

"Keep your laws off my lifespan"

"Misandry: it's the new Misogyny"

T-shirt:   "If it's wrong to say women are airheads because not all women are airheads,
and if it's wrong to say Blacks are criminals because not all Blacks commit
crime, why is it correct to say men rule the world?  Most men don't."

"In western culture we picture women right below the angels, and men just
above the animals."

"Feminists defined sexism;  and they didn't define it to refer to anything they ever think or say or do."

"A bachelor is simply a man who has deprived some poor woman of a divorce"

"When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence.  When men hold off marrying women, we call it lack of commitment." -Warren Farrell

Abstract -- Picture of a scale named feminism, weight with rights written on it hitting bottom, weight with responsibilities written on it up in the
air.

"FEMINISM:    From each according to HIS ability, to each according to HER LUDICROUS DEMANDS!"
"The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master." -- Ayn Rand<br /><br />

"I want to be treated like a 'person', not a gender."

"Why does the phrase 'Human Rights' contain the word 'man', but a man is not entitled to those rights?"

"If men have all the freedom and power, why don't they have the freedom and power to use it?"

"Woman's body, her choice. Man's body, society's choice."

"Women are encouraged to be able to do what they want to do. Men are encouraged to be able to do what they want to do....as long as they stay within their masculine parameters."

"When it comes to crime, for women, they make excuses. For men, they make prisons."

"A man chooses. A slave obeys." What if a man 'chooses' to obey, because he is met with scorn, shame and ridicule and rendered a social outcasts if he does not?

I like this one...

"A bachelor is simply a man who has deprived some poor woman of a divorce"

You could change "a divorce" to "alimony"

Awakened,

That's good enough to be a bumper sticker.  Bravo.
A man conscious of his strength, observes Nietzsche, need have no fear of women. It is only the man who finds himself utterly helpless in the face of feminine cajolery that must cry, "Get thee behind me, Satan!" and flee. The normal, healthy man...still keeps a level head. He is strong enough to weather the sexual storm. But the man who cannot do this, who experiences no normal reaction in the direction of guardedness and caution and reason, must either abandon himself utterly as a helpless slave to woman's instinct of race-preservation, and so become a bestial voluptuary, or avoid temptation altogether and so become a celibate." -- H.L. Mencken on Nietzsche's philosophy of women

Stop the downward spiral of laws, public policies and court rulings becoming 'subjective' rather than 'objective'
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain
