She has now entered the world of video blogs or Vlogs as they are commonly referred, possibly due to the influence of Karen Straughan who camped out at Bettina's home last month also. (She was amazed at how clean Bettina's home was given that she is always on her phone or laptop) Karen of course is known for her Girlwriteswhat vlogs on Youtube and now usually produces more videos than written blogs and tweets.
Bettina recently announced that she is putting all her other business ventures aside to focus solely on Men's Issues which is so exciting for the Men's Rights movement. Now this is going to impact her revenue, as there is no paying job for men's issues. (as opposed to the thousands of paying jobs for women's issues) So, Bettina has also entered the world of Patreon where her loyal supporters can sponsor her videos every time she posts one. It's a great idea and starts as low as $1 per video, and higher pledges get added privileges such as notifications, newsletters, monthly shout outs and Skype calls with Bettina herself. It's a great way to be part of her work and also be interactive with our national patron for men's issues. (I made that title up but it's accurate) I signed up this morning and I encourage all of you to click on this link and check it out.

If you follow my posts you would have seen the hoo har this week regarding my tweets to Julia Gillard and Beyond Blue asking why the suicide rate of men is not being made a point of when it is 3 times that of the female rate. Whenever women dominate a statistic, it's all we hear about. Such as Domestic Violence deaths, we all hear that a woman dies every 6 days from DV but we never hear that a man dies every 10 days. Feminists accuse MRA's of whinging or ignoring the female death rate when we point this out, but they fail to see that we just want to see it mentioned alongside the female statistic. Something like ...
One Women is killed every 6 days due to Domestic Violence
One Man is killed every 10 days due to Domestic Violence
Bettina created a media stunt video when she was on the Gold Coast to bring awareness to the suicide rate of men. After media saturation regarding a beached whale and the outpouring of empathy for this stranded animal that couldn't be saved, it annoyed Bettina as she knows just how hard it is to get any media attention on this very serious issue affecting so many men. She arranged to have 6 men in body bags all lined up on a Gold Coast beach to illustrate the fact that 6 men suicide every day in Australia. Take a look. Bettina - Beach Stunt
Hats Off to Bettina Arndt and please support our patron saint :-)
