So. With everybody's input. I've come up with a plan.
The hashtag is going to be #MenAreHuman.
We will use it to talk about our positive experiences with men and our role models.
but also about how we've been hurt by anti male sentiment in the past.
being sure to spread information about mental health hotlines and just generally spreading awareness about mental health and etc.
Make it really hard for people to argue against without being insensitive pricks.
I'd also like to use posts/images like the following. To really drive home that this isn't just something that hurts men's feelings.
it's something that negatively effects the mental health of masculine identifying people in general.

Of course this one would need to be cropped and made to be more palatable.
if ANYBODY here has any experience making memes. or drawing. Or any artistic skill whatsoever. I urge you, Please drop whatever you can to help in the comments below. /u/thetinmenblog has already expressed willingness to help. But like any creator, needs time. So we're currently communicating on how.
AS FOR A DATE I am hoping to give this a few days to really bubble up and grow. And give people time to really refine what they want to say, come up with images. and etc. Or even make alt accounts to post under.
So I want to put the date where we really push this tentatively on March 22nd. Next Monday.

nice but what kind of memes you want?
[–]Forgetaboutthelonely[S] 2 points3 points4 points (2 children) | Copy Link
was thinking something along the lines of a bunch of anti male sayings coming in the form of like texts or whatever to emphasize that they're harmful.
"Men are trash" "men need to do better" "men are violent" "men are fragile" "men are predators" "men are pedophiles" "Men are abusers" "man up"
Followed by a simple "No, #MenAreHuman."
And then links to various mental health hotlines.
As well as something to counter the argument people can already imagine radfems making.
And to do this we make a point that it's not appropriate to blame any other demographic for similar stats or rates of crime. Because doing so ignores the contexts and underlying problems and instead aims purely to demonize them.
Culminating in the hashtag #MenAreHuman
