Treat it like a project, we're going to do some gap analysis on it's ass.
A. Current state as you see it
B. Where you would like us to be.
Then the real fun starts. 12 easy steps that we can all put into practice everyday, which will bring us from A to B, in X number of years. Try to include women in this too, what can they do (or stop doing) that would make you (and everybody who's not you) more comfortable?
The entire thing is a Matrix. The sensory signals are fed to us continuously by media, newspapers, society and conclusions are drawn using baised sampling statistical Methods. This is dangerous in any issue, not just in the issue of activities of feminists. We all know, how Americans and British are misled before Iraq war and how many all over the world are misled by weapons of mass destruction. How meaningful the discussions are in message boards when we allow ourselves get heavily conditioned by media. "American had a nice "don't care attitude" till the planes hit the twin towers."
Its not true that I had a lot of bad experiences. I have counselled a number of guys from Wipro, Infy, hp........who are harassed (continuously threatened) by wife's parents and relatives. Often, the threats are about locking the guy up unless he falls in line.
Regarding 12 point Action Plan:
How do you think things are moving without a roadmap ? How do you think, US State Department has written a warning on false dowry cases for Americans Visiting India ?
How do you think there is a bill in parliament to straighten the law for daughter-in-law to stop its misuse ?
For your reference I must give some citations:
1) In case of Divorce, the child custody in India is given to one of the parents. If the child (male/female) is below 5 years, it is always given to the mother. It has to be joint custody as in other countries. I know many Indian fathers who have not seen their child for 1-2 years. This is the famous Mrs.Doubtfire (Chachi 420) effect.
2) There is another effect called "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" effect. In this case, a woman continues extramarital affair after marriage while the man goes on protecting and financing her at his expense. In the end of the day, the woman puts him and his family behind bars for extortion of some money(often one million Rupees or more) for divorce before getting united with her Ex.
3) The laws of adultery in India are biased against men.(I can give details Later).
The famous people who got into false dowry cases include Chetan Chauhan(cricketer and MP) and Late. Nirupa Roy(Bollywood God mother of Dewaar fame).

The Matrix has to be broken. We anti-feminists are not againt woman or woman issues, we are only against the ugly methods used by Feminists. We want to stop an impending gender war in India. Because, if there is a war of Genders, everybody loses. The effect on children would be very high. The children who have single parents have a very great chance of being unbalanced when they grow up.
The situation today is not really dangerous. I say this in spite of 50,000 false dowry cases every year and Feminists sharing the extortion and bribe booty with police and other agencies. It will indeed get dangerous when domestic violence bill gets passed in Parliament. This bill is onesided which considers only women as victims of domestic violence (mental or physical).
With divorce rates of Techies shooting up (mainly due to increasing consumerism and related hike in expectation), soon people will start questioning the very process of marriage. With old people made to head towards old-age homes (forced by daughter-in-law Laws), people will start asking questions on the purpose and hassles of having children.
We are running with a phase lag with western countries. We can say we do not care till we experience some shooting in a park or a high school by some minors.
