The reason there is no national organization is because its very hard to fight an idea.
Right now there is no blatant disregard for men because that would be too against social acceptance.
Google Misandry.
Fathers get shit on in this country and around the world. The family court system is crap.
Women treat most men like shit if they can get away with it. Same for men, but women have more of a right in courts for several reasons. All cards women play (weaker sex, the male is abusive, women getting out of tickets or troubles with police, in domestic disturbance issues men always get the blame, women aren't as aggressively prosecuted for rape, when women make up false allegations on men.)
I'm not saying men don't do this either, but there is much more a prevalent stigma on men being, pedophiles, abusers, rapists, etc.. than there are women.
Raising boys like we do girls.. The public school system is not really the most conducive to boys, more young boys are diagnosed with this "ADD or ADHD" then girls, and many higher institutions of learning can have ratios of 75% to 25% girls to boys, respectively.
Men are now looked upon in society as dumb, ignorant, sex fiends and undeserving and is perpetuated by TV show's that point this out. (King of Queens, Family Guy, Simpson, Two and a Half Men, etc...) and are no longer a fatherly figure in the eyes of society, such was shown in 50's sitcoms.
Lifestyles have geared towards "equal employment", not quite sure where all this is affected except that men or more likely to be laid off, or unemployed than women.
Making fun of men is all "socially acceptable".
You hear tons of stuff about breast cancer, how much about prostate cancer? It kills just as many.
Like I said, it's hard to fight an idea.
Most men don't know about this. But take a look at media, it's all about empowering women, and dehumanizing men, I don't actually think I have seen an empowering of men besides the typical, "women, tools, sports and beer". It seems the media and society in general would have us believe that men are only learned on an issue if it is over tools, sports, picking up women, or beer.
