Progress occurs here in a variety of forms. Sometimes it’s a new article being posted, contributing to an ever-expanding body of knowledge that is just waiting to be absorbed by the world. Sometimes, it’s someone designing artwork for the site. Or me doing my own design. Sometimes it’s a donation. Sometimes it’s the good advice I get in my inbox that I haven’t heard from anyone before.
Sometimes it’s this website surpassing another in terms of web rankings, or being highly ranked on a simple Google search on men’s education issues. Sometimes it’s a prominent website placing a permanent link to this website on theirs. Still other times, it’s an interview from a national news publication. Or a student newspaper. Or a radio show.
Sometimes it’s someone who emails me with an idea that we work on together, but don’t reveal to the world until later. Sometimes it’s just someone coming to a men’s issues website, seeing a validation of their concerns, and realizing they’re not alone in a crazy world.
Yes, progress comes in many shapes and sizes. A lot of it is about building something and making connections. And while some of the progress is entirely predictable, some of it is rather surprising as well. I was certainly surprised when I checked the site statistics today. I noticed that a website I had never visited before was linking to this one.
Southern Connecticut State University’s library webpage now hosts a research guide dedicated to understanding the Men’s Movement. The guide itself appears to be rather new. To my surprise, it is filled with genuine pro-male resources. The very existence of a research guide of this nature, being publicly posted on a university website, is a notable step forward for the movement. It would never have existed five years ago.
On the right-hand side of the page is a list of notable Men’s Movement websites. And at the top of that list is this website. While its position on the list is due to alphabetics, its inclusion in the list itself is not. This website has grown both by graduating increments and periodic leaps.
I was happy to see that Community of the Wrongly Accused and A Voice for Men were listed as well. In my perspective the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), which is a very respectable organization and is also on the list, is not a men’s movement organization. Our issues do periodically intersect, however.
Let us hope that many other universities follow suit in creating such resources. Here is a screenshot, preserved in the event of site changes:

Congratulations Johnathan, job well done. I am convinced it is only a matter of time before the majority of people become of aware of the ridiculous contradictions and the feminist rhetoric is turned back on itself to expose it for the hatred it really represents. It is organizations like AVFMS that are shining the light.

Well done my brother.

Is it just me, or has this college’s entire page on the Men’s Movement been removed?

MIT used to have a “men’s studies” section of its library. It even created a catalog in 1979. Now the school is a more misandric, feminist institution. Sigh. In any case, it donated its holdings to MSU:

Much that was done in and for the men’s movement has been forgotten. Who remembers, for example, Herb Goldberg or Richard F. Doyle? They’re like the lost city of Petra, buried under the sands of time and inaction.

This is great news, but either the link is broken or the directory has been deleted from University servers. Did you make a copy of what was there?

Thank you. Good things are indeed happening. And I agree – it is only a matter of time.
Well done my brother.

Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll look into this.
Update: I have contacted the library staff and was told that the guide was taken down because it was “deemed to be insufficient in academic resources,” because “it was also too broad for an academic guide,” and because “it inked to sites that were mainly activist, rather than scholarly.” Of course, most Feminist “studies” are activist in origin and are often premised upon methodologies that are rigged for a particular result.
From an academic perspective, I generally agree with these concerns. Students will primarily need academic sources for the papers they are writing rather than activist/blog sources. That’s not to say that men’s issues sites such as this one do not have an eye for accuracy. Indeed, one of the nine values of this site is evidence-based inquiries and solutions.
Still, it’s nice to know that we are making inroads into the hearts and minds of some in the academic establishment. At the end of the day the goal is to change the academic culture.

All I have is the screenshot I took: http://i1.wp.com/www.avoiceformalestudents.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Southern-Connecticut-State-University-lists-AVFMS.png
I spoke with the staff member who put it up and had to later take it down.He said the guide was taken down because it was “deemed to be insufficient in academic resources,” because “it was also too broad for an academic guide,” and because “it inked to sites that were mainly activist, rather than scholarly.”
Thanks for your comment. I just added a disclaimer to the top of this article.
