Terrence was born in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1968. He’s a retired First Sergeant from the United States Army. He served from 1986 to 2018 with 12 years assigned to the Michigan National Guard. The character of his service was that of a special operations soldier. Popp was an Infantry Soldier, Airborne Ranger, Paratrooper, and a Green Beret. His service covered three formal wars in which he twice almost lost his life; he participated in several operations that will never be printed on the pages of history. Over 30 years, he traversed the circumference of this earth twice by foot while carrying the sum combined weight of a dreadnought battleship upon his back. He was frozen in the Arctic, baked in the hottest deserts, and boiled in the deepest jungles.

This video is one of 120 videos published for the sixth International Conference on Men's Issues (2020), a conference originally planned for Sydney, Australia, but later turned into a virtual conference due to Covid-19.
From #metoo to the American Psychological Association’s guidelines pathologizing “masculinity” as harmful, to Gillette’s razor adverts blaming all men for the actions of a damaged few, ideologically motivated groups have used unchallenged narratives of female victimhood to promote damaging stereotypes about men and boys, masculinity and men’s relationships to each other.
More than ever before, recognition of men’s issues is needed. Men and boys deserve compassion, they deserve consideration for their unique needs, and they deserve our support.
Men and boys also deserve respect for their unique contributions to society and an end to the promotion of unkind stereotyping of being harmful, abusive, toxic, selfish and hateful. We would not tolerate this stereotyping directed towards any other group.
We are in an era of unprecedented ideological conflict. By reducing men’s ability to take a positive identity from their masculinity we are encouraging young men to pursue ever more radical ideologies to find a place to belong. In turn we are also encouraging young women to embrace an identity as society’s victims rather than its equal co-creators.
International Conferences on Men’s Issues (ICMIs) have been held annually since 2014, with the exception of 2015:
- Detroit (2014)
- London (2016)
- Gold Coast, Australia (2017)
- London (2018)
- Chicago (2019)
Playlists of all 100+ presentations at the conferences are here, as well as playlists of the presentations at the Messages 4 Men conferences in London (2017-19) and the (UK) National Conference on Men's Issues, “Domestic Abuse is a Men’s Issue, Too” (2020):

Ian was a computer engineer (1983-2003) before becoming a separated father. His experiences in the family court and fighting for custody of his son led him to retrain as a family law Solicitor and to gain custody of his son. He then helped other separated fathers cope with the system both by supporting them in and out of court, by running the local Families Need Fathers group, and with his legal knowledge and experience to represent them in proceedings. He is now retired but still providing occasional legal advice and support to Justice for Men & Boys http://j4mb.org.uk and others fighting institutionalised anti-male discrimination in the UK.

Anil was a co-founder of the Save Indian Family Foundation, an Indian Men's Rights Organisation. He started at a time when there were only 70 men's activists in an online forum in 2004. In the next couple of years, he played a big role in the rapid growth of the men's movement in India. He also contributed to development of the men's rights philosophy with local contexts and its positioning in media.
In the last couple of years, his team has started fielding candidates in state assembly elections in India. Indian media has published more than 10,000 articles about the activities and demands of Anil and his close associates . The government of India has now stopped mandatory arrests in cases of domestic violence, however the domestic violence laws still exclude protection for men.

In this episode of the Messages for Men (M4M) podcast, Elizabeth & Max speak with evolutionary psychologist Johan Nayar. Armed with his master's degree from Brunel University and a creative gift for neat analogies, Johan is well-equipped to discuss everything from the evolutionary psychology research on sex differences, the tabula rasa ('blank slate') theory and both sides of the Nature versus Nurture debate all the way through to The Google Memo and whether peacocks are being particularly honest.
