Awareness-Raising Stickers

Filed under: General — Ministry of Men's Affairs @ 12:57 pm Sun 3rd May 2009

I am planning to obtain some stickers to put on anti-male campaign posters etc. The stickers will be round and boldly say something like “THIS IS A MALE-BASHING CAMPAIGN”. For example, the White Ribbon Campaign posters, “Say No to Domestic Violence” posters, Women’s Refuge (break up your family as soon as you feel unhappy) propaganda pamphlets etc.

At the local hospital the other day there were various such posters up, including Women’s Refuge posters showing the Duluth “Power and Control Wheels”, highly discredited anti-male and anti-family propaganda. I also went into a shop recently that sold gifts and novelties and saw that a lot of their fridge magnets etc were highly denigrating of men, their intelligence and abilities, even advocating violence against men by women, in contrast to the ones about women that were all light-hearted and humourously complimentary.

A sticker or two on shops like that (including the Body Shop – see this MENZ post and others ) might also be helpful.

Two questions:
1. Might there be better wording for the stickers that anyone could suggest?
2. Is anyone interested in obtaining some of these stickers? I could order a few thousand and send coils of say 100 to other people. I would appreciate a contribution simply covering the cost of however many were requested, but if anyone unable to contribute wants them I would be happy to send some gratis.

Alternative wording I have considered: THIS IS OFFENSIVE TO MEN; THIS IS AN ANTI-MALE CAMPAIGN; THIS IS A MALE-BASHING ORGANISATION; WHY NOT JUST KILL MEN?; MEN MATTER TOO. Any comments about which of these might be best, or new options?
