MRA Principles and Goals
Sunday, October 4, 2009
By Paul Elam

Life provides periodic gifts. One such gift came to me recently in the form of an email from Men's News Daily publisher Mike LaSalle.It's a mission statement from an Italian MRA site, and it presents the most cogent and well articulated statement on the principles of men's activism that I have ever read. The wisdom it contains should both drive and guide the actions of the many good men and women in this movement.Mike promptly gave it permanent residence here on Men's News Daily, and I have as well at A Voice for Men.I present it here, with gratitude to the original authors, for those of you who haven't seen it. And I urge all Men's Rights Activists to join us in offering this clear and impeccably moral statement to the world.Let it serve as a proclamation that unifies all of us in this noble cause.Paul ElamEditor-in-ChiefMen's News DailyLife provides periodic gifts.

Mike promptly gave it permanent residence here on Men's News Daily, and I have as well at A Voice for Men.

I present it here, with gratitude to the original authors, for those of you who haven't seen it. And on behalf of Men's News Daily, I urge all Men's Rights Activists to join us in placing this clear and impeccably moral statement prominently on your blogs and websites.

Let it serve as a proclamation that asserts our unanimity of mission and our shared values to the world.

Principals and Goals of the Men's Movement

(Translated from the Italian by R. Randazzo)

PRINCIPLES we recognize and affirm:

1.. The existence of natural differences between the genders.
2.. The extreme immorality of certain social forces, and at
the same time, the very real opportunity that these forces
have to deny, ignore, compromise, and repress these
differences and any expression of them.
3.. The necessity of cooperation between the genders, and
at the same time the inevitability of opposition between them.
4.. The scientific inconsistency and dubious morality of
any claim by one gender to describe the state, condition,
needs, experiences, or the value of the other gender.
THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS

a.. We define the current situation in the following terms:
b.. For two generations masculinity and the male gender
have been subject to an all-out attack covering every
sphere, from the world of images and symbolism to that
of common everyday existence, applied systematically
and consistently in every manner and through all means
of communication and cultural diffusion.
c.. The term male-bashing extends itself to aesthetics,
opposing their attainment by men which includes the
male body and men's physicality.
d.. Every level and gradation within contemporary culture,
and every unit that elaborates on or transmits that culture,
without a single exception, is a tool of this program.
e.. This phenomenon is the fundamental cause of
psychological/emotional harm in individuals and social
dysfunctions of an ever-increasing gravity, hindering the
entire male gender and in particular the younger
generations.
THE VALUE OF FEMININITY

We reject any kind, however indirect, of denigration,
of offensiveness and devaluation, of the ethical, aesthetic,
and intellectual worth of the female gender; we repudiate
any diminution of the symbolic importance of the
feminine, and of the historical importance of female
endeavors visible and invisible, past present and future.

WE PURSUE THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES:

1.. The promotion of the essential value of masculinity,
specifically with regard to personal dignity and the
irreplaceable role of the masculine in the world of image
and symbol and of the male gender in every area of life,
spiritual and material, for the benefit of present and
future generations.
2.. The identification and condemnation of any instance
of malebashing in every context, form, or style, and any
expression of malebashing, direct or indirect, open or
veiled.
3.. The moral opposition to male-bashing-to the
denigration and demonization of men, the denigration of
male sentiments, attributes, opinions and needs, the
denigration of male contributions and comportment-in
the media, literature, the arts, political discourse,
historiography, scientific tracts, text-books, advertising,
and in every form of expression and means of
communication.
4.. The restitution of the value and dignity-as well as the
historic role-of past generations of men, by means of
the deconstruction of feminist historiography.
5.. The struggle against the cultural ideals of a Feminist
Society and its basic values- therefore against the following:
a.. The principle of the moral, aesthetic and
intellectual superiority of the female gender;
b.. The denial of the existence of anti-male
hatred;
c.. The criminalization both direct and indirect
of the male gender;
d.. The planned inhibition of the development
of male consciousness;
e.. The psychological and chemical emasculation
of the younger generations;
f.. The domestication and docility of men;
g.. The use of the male libido for purposes of
speculation,manipulation, intimidation and
blackmail;
h.. The demand for reparations, material and
moral, for the wrongs, real or imagined,
sustained by the female gender;
i.. The legal commercialization of sexual
relations and relations based upon affection;
j.. The presumed permissibility of an autocratic
imposition of behavioral rules upon the male
gender;
k.. The principles of political correctness and
the imposition of its vocabulary.
