Welcome aboard!
  

Some things we'd like you to know before you begin.


If you are divorced, seeking custody, abused, an abuser, someone needing help or know someone who needs help, remember that we are not online counselors. All the information we know is on the web site, especially in our Crisis, Links and Resource sections. If our web site is not helpful in your case, please contact a crisis center, mental health center or therapist in your local community. Many of these resources should be in your local phone book.

If you are working on a school or university project, we support your learning, but won't be able to email you any information beyond what's on these pages. Thanks for understanding our limitations.

Visitors have called us "Easy on the eyes", "Like reading a good book". At Menstuff®, we keep our graphics to the minimum so you can load pages faster, get to information quicker and be saved from the constant scrolling offers and flashing banners. We figure people come here for information, not to sign up for a credit card or refinance their home. (The exception happens if you use one of the search engines where we have no control.)

August 1, 2016 starts our 21st year on the internet. We have never accepted compensation to place any ad on the menstuff.org. And, while we get millions of hits every month, I have turned down some lucrative offers from advertisers in order to keep this web site an information based web site.

After that explanation, I need to add that menstuff.org would not exist today if not for those of you who have made your book purchases through us. Thank you.

Please send comments on our pages so we can better carry out our mission of ending men's isolation. Whenever you're ready to go to the homepage, click on (Homepage) (Disclaimer)

Overview of the Site


Menstuff.org is the starting point for information for and about men on the web. Menstuff is an educational web site which serves a diverse men's community (men's rights, mythopoetic, pro-feminist, recovery, re-evaluation counseling, and spiritual). Menstuff has 65 columnist reporting on a weekly or monthly basis. Menstuff lists thousands of on-site men's book reviews & covers, men's resources and hyperlinks and hundreds of events, periodicals and groups. It provides information on hundreds of men's issues regarding positive change in male roles and relationships (including aging, circumcision, divorce, fathers, health, kidstuff, mid-life, multicultural, prostate cancer, relationship, sexuality, spirituality, testicular cancer, violence, work, and much more.) We always provide the original source of our mateial. However, as weeks, months or years go by, many of those sources end. If it wasn't for Menstuff.org, much of that information would be lost forever. Therefore, if you find a broken link, realize that this is probably what happened. We leave the broken link there so you know the original source of the information.

Menstuff holds a 4-star rating with Britannica.com.

Linking to Us


If you have or know of a web site one men's issues, please let us know. One of the important ways we can help each other and those out there who are in need of our information, is to provide hyperlinks to other related sites. If you would like to add us to your site, please go to Link to Us. It's easy and will help us in our mission to end men's isolation. Thanks. (Homepage)

Scroll Down Our Side Bar


The first thing we suggest is to scroll down our left side bar to see all of the pages and options available. We designed it this way so that if you print out some of our information, you'll get full pages of information rather than a lot of listings, banners, search engines, etc. And, you'll use considerably less of your color cartridge, too. (Homepage)

Lenny


We don't have a lot of graphics or pictures, because they take you extra time to download. So, we use an icon that we lovingly call "Lenny", so you can access secondary information that may be of less importance to other visitors. At the start of many documents it is often used to give information or to provide a graphic pertinent to the issue. In the books by issue section, it calls up a copy of the book cover (example Men's Lives) next to the book review. In the books by issue section under Cassettes: audio or Cassettes: video, a click will reveal the pertinent j-card cover. So, when you have the time, click on the "Lenny" icon. It reveals something that Lenny likes. Check it out! (Homepage)


"Today's" Daily Thoughts


A click on "Lenny" icon or a click on "Today" on side banner will take you to our thoughts and issues for the day. At 12 mm, today ends and a new day begins. With it comes the opportunity to move backward, forward, or stay where you are in life. This section will also change, bringing you information and inspiration (depending on how you might look at it). Revisit to see what tomorrow has to offer. What a great way to start the day!

Events for Men in Your State


Menstuff® Events Calendar lists hundreds of men’s events through the next 12 months. To find what's happening in your state, go to the Calendar and click on the month you want to check out. State codes appear to the far left of the first line of each listing. If there is an event in the state this month, a click on the state code will bring up the first one. You will have to scroll down from there to see if there are other events in your state during that month. Or, use our search engine in the left sidebar. Type in the two-letter state code. It will bring up everything with the state code, including events and even your state representatives. Click on those months you're interested in where it says "Men's Events - (the month)". When it brings up the month, click on the state code. Event listings are updated at least monthly. You can also find events by type and by title. (Homepage)

Snippets


They are everywhere but are usually hanging on to the very end of a page. Some call them scratchings, which is Italian for graffiti. Evidence of snippets goes back to early Roman and Greek times. Ours don't go back that far but we hope you will enjoy them anyway. Share your snippets with us at Snippets. We love original ones, but your favorites come in a close second. (Homepage)

Underconstruction. Where this symbol is used, we are still developing that sector and can used information, resources, and books on the issue. (Homepage)

FatherstuffDirectory


This is a section of our web site that provides a site map for father's, their issues, and resources and books pertinent to their issues. Most men and father's organizations doing father's work are terribly under-funded and under-staffed. They are often the last eligible to get funding, if at all. Instead of men's work increasing, it is actually decreasing. For many years the work has been done by very few men, usually fathers who want to insure that someone was there for you when you needed them. For many of these hard-working men, men who have donated countless hours and many dollars out of their own pockets, the support hasn't been there and the fire has gone out.

For all of you who have received support from men, it's time to give back. It's time to commit to be there for those fathers who haven't asked for help yet. For, if you don't, not only may they not get the help they need, but there might not be anyone left if you need help again. Take this time to go through our Resource directory and find an organization that you could contribute time and/or money to. Or Volunteers. We all have opportunities, many that can be done from the comfort of your own home. Volunteer and contribute to men's work while these important services still exist. (Homepage)

Men represent 98% of firefighters, 96% of truck drivers, 96% of prison inmates, 96% of school superintendents, 96% of law enforcement officers who are killed (while only representing 89% of police and detectives), 93% of engineers (87% of new engineers), 91% of dentists (77% of new dentists), 91% of fishers, hunters, and trappers, 87% of persons arrested for offenses against family and children, 85% of doctors (69% of new doctors), and 78% farm workers (and 85% of migrant farm workers).
