View submission: Men’s Group
I feel like that's where "failure on all our parts" comes in. It'd be unfair to expect the mods to do all that work for us.
As a community though, I feel we're capable of putting in that 1% action to create some kind of guideline for cultivating healthy IRL spaces. Those who already attend in person groups probably don't need the assistance finding more; but those of us who lean on online spaces could use that initial push.
The only thing mods would need to do is approve and pin a final product.

Honestly I think even that is a lot of work that doesn't fit everyone. The more I attend and try to create men's groups, I find that there really isn't a "guide" and I think what people are saying here is useful. There's no real specific way to do this. That's why I don't think there is a guide or needs to be or for the mods to make it. One it makes a weird space where MensLib become an authority on making men's groups (which I don't think they want that), also a bit of liability (which they wouldn't be prepared). Also if they don't care about all that, it wouldn't fit the same for everyone. People always ask these posts in MensLib and it's always good advice and it's malleable. I like that better tbh. I don't need MensLib to be anything more than discourse.
