I am a real man

Help us to send out the message that Real Men do not abuse and control women, and that it's time for a new definition of masculinity. Pass this video on to your friends and post this on your Facebook page, then tell us what you think a 'Real Man' is by going to http://www.engagingmen.net/i-am-a-real-man

This video is a version of a Palindrome in which a voiceover is used to read the words appearing on the screen from top to bottom, and then reverses itself reading each line up the page and back to the top, changing the meaning of each statement.

@ak3nji I think that the video is not suggesting that men should be feminized. I get the idea that it is saying that there are many ways of being a man - but that all of them should be nonviolent.

@mrdale002 I think this video depicts exactly the opposite - it includes all races. I think it sends the message that no one race is being targeted and that it is a problem everywhere and amongst all races.

@mrdale002 That was my exact first thought...and i do agree with ZimbaZumba's statement as well.

My first thoughts are that men need to be allowed to be men, obviously i'm not saying abusive men. I'm saying both women and men have certain expressions or roles and i don't think we should be trying to feminise men or make women more masculine.

I actually find this video extremely disturbing. Can anyone tell me why every person in this video is a "minority" in the racial sense. I would be nice to see people of all spectrums in a video like this. I would say that we are all to blame in the powerlessness that people feel when Genderized and I believe that this is video is playing to racial sterotypes.

i do not believe women have rights Rights are something that have to be eared and should not be a privilege bestowed by birth. Female privilege must be torn down for true gender equality to be achieved.

[ZimbaZumba]

Frankly watching these men prostrate themselves and issue subservient, gushing and apologetic statements of collective guilt for who they are as a gender is nauseating.

I real man would find out the truth behind Domestic Violence statistics and not act as a toady for those who benefit from their exaggeration and denial of any female complicity.
