I agree, the internet has been a boon to our movement. As men, we are raised to be problem solvers, self reliant and not to whine. To "take it like a man" if you will. Unlike many women, we tend to revel in the fact that we can solve our own problems without assistance from others. This strength, has also been our weakness, as we stood idly by while our rights were eroded and didn't band together sooner.
While I have always been politically active, being part of this movement and discussing men's issues publicly still carries a certain stigma. The 'net has given me the tools to stay current w/ regards to men's issues and to have at the tip of my tongue facts and statistics to counter the standard feminist rhetoric that gets spewed whenever we bring up our issues.
Thanks Al Gore!
