Hi everyone, apologies for the lack of posts recently from Skimmington and myself, I'm sure he'd appreciate some contributions from readers to help keep the site going if anyone can help out.
You'll be pleased to know that I've been keeping myself busy and can now proudly now announce a new equality campaign called "HEqual"
Launched on International Men's Day, HEqual aims to really make a difference in standing against sexism and genuine discrimination.
By “genuine” discrimination we mean anything that is indisputably unfair and causes real harm. While certain feminist groups supposedly campaigning for equality are concerned with men’s seating positions on public transport, or forcing them to sit down when urinating, we’ll be taking on the other less important issues that appear to have slipped their minds, such as say gaining recognition for hundreds of thousands of male victims of domestic violence.
Rather than covering news, discussion and debate, HEqual is going to be totally focused on activism, exposing discrimination and ultimately on defeating it. Everything written on the site will be there for a purpose, and I can promise some really interesting projects on the horizon so you're going to want to stay tuned.
You can find out more about at Hequal.wordpress.com
Be sure to read about our first victory in forcing Cancer Research UK to finally recognise Male Cancer.
Twitter users can follow us on @HEqual_UK and please and if you haven't followed The Rights of Man by now then you should add @RightsofManUK too.

John, good luck with the new site, I'm about to add it to our list of recommended blogs and websites. Thanks too for the links to J4MB and AVfM and the anti-misandry site.
Onwards and upwards!

Yes, good luck from me too. Great to see these sites popping up in cyberspace.

Great work. I like the emphasis on RESULTS, a notion that seems to escape most folks in the "MRM". Is there any part of your initiatives that could involve issues in the united States? I have been working on research to bring an end to the tyranny of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), whose supporters now want to go global with this idea of only protecting and serving women in domestic violence cases, and presuming guilt on the part of men. I saw your post on Antimisandry (Rof L Mao esq) over there.
