Men are not disposable
I’ll be the first to admit that the Internet is often adrift these days in sensational headlines and overblown claims, and that makes it harder to know for sure what should be given high priority and thus more attention, but this “situation” has been growing but getting little attention in our Lame Stream Media.
Ergo: What happens when not enough military people volunteer for something? I believe the phrase I am looking for is “involuntary servitude,” or some may call it “being drafted into service.” Are we beginning to see the first signs of the “disposable sex” being “involuntarily volunteered?” Hmm.
Germany plans mandatory postings for Lithuania brigade after volunteer shortfall.
“German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius will assign soldiers to a new brigade in Lithuania after too few troops volunteered, Bild reported on Monday.
The unit, which will include about 4,800 soldiers, is being built up in stages and is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2027.”

Of more local concern to Americans, “Is America about to get sucked into another European military conflict (war), this time through its NATO affiliation?” Hmm.
Something BIG just happened over Lithuania… NATO takes emergency action.
“NATO’s eastern flank faces rising tensions as Lithuania strengthens its defenses following a drone airspace incident. From emergency alerts and anti-tank barriers to Germany’s military deployments and a dangerous Russian frigate encounter with a Danish helicopter, Baltic nations are preparing for growing security threats. This video explores NATO’s evolving defense strategy, Russia’s pressure in the Baltic region, and the risks surrounding Europe’s most sensitive military chokepoints.”
And:
Poland braces for potential confrontation as Russia tests NATO defenses
“Sep 29, 2026. Estonia formally accused Russia of an arson attack on a robotics company this past August that it said was part of a wave of Russian sabotage across Europe. In Poland, leaders are warning that Russia is planning a major attack to test NATO. Malcolm Brabant reports from Poland’s border with Russia’s Baltic enclave, Kaliningrad.”
Given that men have historically been more than 99% of all military casualties in wars, if this is not news, then what is?
I have a genuine question to you,
what initiatives have you guys taken for UN to recognise CEDAM?
I am genuinely curious.
ICMB submitted their New York Declaration for Men and Boys to
UN secretary general Antonio Gueterres on 12th March 2025.
You guys wrote about male disposability
but do you know stoicism helps
keep male disposability intact?
Men not voicing out as the
norm of “be tuff” is what helps
confirm the rule-
Gender discrimination means discrimination against women only.
Also, awareness building about it is seen as “stripping away masculinity”
and seen as mellow.
If you dont build awareness regarding it,
mens rights advocacy would stay in the dark.
p.s- Do you work with ICMB (International Council for Men and Boys)?
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. You raise several issues that deserve careful attention.
Male disposability is a real cultural pattern, and you’re right that certain interpretations of stoicism can unintentionally reinforce it. When “be tough” becomes “don’t speak,” men are discouraged from voicing pain, discrimination, or vulnerability. That silence is part of what keeps harmful norms in place. Healthy stoicism—resilience, discipline, emotional regulation—is valuable. But enforced stoicism, where men are shamed for expressing legitimate concerns, absolutely contributes to the invisibility of men’s issues.
You also point out something important: when gender discrimination is defined as “against women only,” men’s experiences are erased by definition. That’s one of the core problems NCFM has been addressing for decades. Awareness-building isn’t “stripping masculinity”; it’s simply acknowledging that men are human beings with rights, needs, and vulnerabilities. Without that awareness, men’s rights advocacy *does* remain in the shadows.
As for ICMB, we support collaboration with any organization working in good faith for equitable treatment of men and boys. We have not signed every ICMB letter—some have been too broad, too political, or carried tones inconsistent with NCFM’s commitment to neutrality and fairness. But we remain open to cooperation when the work aligns with our mission and values.
Thank you again for engaging. Conversations like this help move the movement forward.
We are a ICMB member and Carl Augustsson is our representative.
hey NCFM, do you have office in Bangladesh and Sweden?
In your last post, I saw name of two men with country name as Sweden and Bangladesh.
I dont understand what liaison is and
wish to know
if you are actively working for mens rights in those countries?
Thank You
NCFM’s international reach is strengthened by the work of our International Coordinator, Carl Augustsson, who holds passports from Sweden, Georgia, and the United States. Carl maintains a home in Georgia and travels extensively, both to support NCFM’s mission abroad and to cultivate partnerships. He has been working for several years to establish an NCFM chapter in Georgia, while also seeking sponsors for his proposed UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Men. Although NCFM previously sued the nation of Georgia over its discriminatory retirement system and ultimately lost, the case underscored the importance of global equal‑treatment advocacy. In keeping with our commitment to political neutrality, NCFM declined to sign the most recent ICBM letter to the United Nations because it was overly broad, unfocused, overtly political, and carried an implied anti‑woman tone inconsistent with our values.
Here’s a clear, friendly, and accurate reply you can post publicly. It explains the situation without overstating anything and keeps NCFM’s neutral, professional tone.

**Response**
Thank you for your question — happy to clarify.
NCFM does **not** currently have formal offices in Bangladesh or Sweden. What you saw in the last post refers to two of our **international liaisons**, not physical chapters. A liaison is simply someone who volunteers to help us stay informed about men’s‑rights issues in their country, share local developments, and connect with people or organizations who may want to collaborate. It’s not the same as having an official NCFM branch or office.
We do have members and supporters in many countries, and our International Coordinator works with people in Sweden, Bangladesh, Georgia, and elsewhere. That said, we are not yet running active, on‑the‑ground programs in those countries. Building international chapters takes time, local leadership, and sustained interest. Establishing international chapters is a red-tape nightmare laden with liability issues. nightmare.
We appreciate your curiosity and your support. International engagement is growing, and conversations like this help us understand where people want to see more activity.
well, did your liaison let you know that govt. of the country Bangladesh recently made death penalty for rape convicts?
Also, like USA, rape isnt needed to be proved beyond resonable doubt that it happened to get arrested?
Also, alimony laws, rape laws and other sexual violence and domestic abuse laws define only female could be the victim.
Did he?
Am eager to know.
Thanks for raising this. We weren’t previously aware of the recent changes in Bangladesh although our Liaison probably is, including the death penalty for rape and the continued use of gender‑exclusive definitions that recognize only women as victims. If accurate, this reflects exactly the kind of unequal, non‑gender‑neutral legal framework NCFM has been warning about for decades. We’ll look into it further.
