There's a lot of effort from the anti-feminists to get feminists to do non-actionable things to make things better and more fair, like pointing out inconsistencies, fallacies, and double-standards and hoping they'll take note. I know I'm doing the opposite of preaching to the converted, but I thought I'd give this question a try anyway.

Realizing that the silly squabbles and petty fighting that exists on this forum are just that - petty and silly - and challenging people to fight the good fight in the real world is the most positive lesson a person can learn.
We all need to focus on the real attrocities that exist and set our priorities straight. Take our considerable energies and work to secure basic freedoms for women in other parts of the world before fighting for the minor disparities that exist in our Western society.
EDIT: Apparently Anatol (poster below me) believes he is a woman, and a good one at that!

Though deemed generally "smarter" than men, we fall into the same category here. The actions you speak of above haven't helped the "worse" MEN, yet. So, although women could get more/all women to do something faster than men could get more/all men to do something....individuality will be the ultimate obstacle.

Here are some things:
1. Join http://www.americanwomensuck.com Men and women are invited! This is a good site that promotes a return to traditional values.
2. What I do is actually scold any feminist I see. I will rebuke and punish a woman publicly if she is way out of line. Don't let fear stop you. Observe the law fully but give it to her good!

Stop attacking others whose opinions are different that yours.

Or pretending they have false medical degrees like Happy does and post statistics that he finds in his nasty sites.
I think that as men fighting the feminist movement that perhaps your own accountability should be brought into question and you shouldn't sit back and watch your gender stoop to name calling, harassment, impersonation, lies, and character assasinations. That hardly lends any type of credibility to your cause.
It is so tiresome how they trot out female murderers to prove women are bad when far many men kill. The abortion debate when how many men kills their pregnant wives. Scott Peterson for one Turan Cocelli of Toronto, Canada, etc.

Every time a woman's issue is brought of for discussion we have to listen to the men whine about their issues. Does that ever create constructive diolgoue. No never and when a anti feminist loses a battle he attacks with insults and nastiness.
Maybe the men who want women to be accountable should seek that in their own sex.
By the way Feminism still is a diverse collection of social theories, political movements, and moral philosophies, largely motivated by or concerning the experiences of women, especially in terms of their social, political, and economic situation. As a social movement, feminism largely focuses on limiting or eradicating gender inequality and promoting women's rights, interests, and issues in society.

Better yet, what are some actionable things good men can do to make horrible men cease war mongering, whore mongering, raping, pillaging, plundering, subjecting people to slavery, murdering, using their greed to ruin our environment or taking hardworking individuals life savings by purposefully trumping up earnings in the stock market or by maliciously causing rolling blackouts that killed elderly people in California.....

Its impossible for women to set examples for other women. There are different women who will always have different roles and will suit them since they are from that culture and upbringing. It will be the same in the next 100 years was for the past 2000 years and will be right now. Bye

dude... first of all, it isn't women's responsibility to change "bad" women. If you don't like some people, men or women, don't associate with them. But don't hold all women accountable for the actions of others.
