The California Men’s Centers San Diego is home to the
Coalition of Parent Support, PaternityFraudDNA, National
Coalition of Free Men San Diego, Mensbiz, and the Children's
Rights Initiative for Sharing Parents Equally (CRISPE).

The California Men's Centers began as the San Diego Men's
Center in late 2004. Within five years we hope to have centers
in other locations in California. Hence, the generic California
Men’s Centers, and in this case add San Diego.

The Center offers information, referral, mediation preparation,
individual coaching, support groups, and DNA paternity testing.
For a complete list see our “Services” page. NOTE: We are not
attorneys and do not give legal advice.

We are supported entirely by private funding, mostly individual
donations. We have no desire to seek federal or state grants
which if secured would necessarily make us part of the
problem rather than part of the solution. Even if organizations
such as ours could get state funding anti-male sentiment
drives the funding sources, allocating legislation, and provision
of services.

Men are discriminated against, especially in westernized
societies. Consequently, a plethora of various services exist for
almost any group other than men, particularly heterosexual
men, their families, and the women that love them.

For example, California prohibits the use of state funds to
provide services for heterosexual males and male children
over the age of 12 who are victims of domestic violence. This
example readily shows the depth of System discrimination
against males even when young and abused.

When talking about the California Men's Center San Diego
numerous people have asked if it's a gay rights organization,
which it is not, except in terms of equal rights for men, all men,
regardless of sexual orientation.

In fact, the primary focus of the Men's Center is helping
heterosexual men, their families, and the women that love
them, though we encourage others to become actively involved.
Consequently we started a Second Spouses Club primarily for
women. Many gays and lesbians are confronted with
discordant child custody; paternity, abuse, and related issues
and we welcome their participation as well. It's interesting that
so many people associate the word men with being gay, as if
heterosexual men and their issues are simply not worth
considering.

We will help anyone seeking our services within our ability and
resources; however, we reserve the right to refuse services to
anyone.

The Men’s Center intends to fill voids in the provision of
community services with innovative services and programs, not
replicate established ones. People seeking Men’s Center
services will be referred to established service providers as
applicable and appropriate at the sole discretion of the Men’s
Center.

Ask yourself, “Why raise our sons to be disposable?“

YOU CAN HELP
The California Men's Center
San Diego relies on the
benevolence of many. We do
not seek or accept
government grants. Instead
we rely primarily on private
donations though when
possible we will seek private
foundation assistance.

WE BELIEVE

Gender discrimination perpetuates ugly
stereotypes and should be eradicated.

Government and the judicial system must
ensure equal rights and choices
regardless of gender regarding paternity,
parenting, child custody, property
distribution, and protection from
relationship abuse and violence.

Government must require mandatory
paternity testing at birth and confirm
biological parentage before collecting
child support and obligating the wrong
person.

Children deserve two responsible
parents, preferably biological parents.

Equal parenting time should be the
presumption in establishing child custody
and visitation, and modified only by a
showing of unfit parenting substantiated
by overwhelming evidence.

Since the government coerces men to
register for selective service under threat
of prosecution and disenfranchisement,
government should so coerce women to
register; or, end the requirement to
register for selective service.

Members of either sex who make
malicious false accusations should be
prosecuted, especially in domestic
violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and
paternity cases.

Sentencing in criminal cases should be
based only on the severity of the crime
and the perpetrators gender should have
no bearing.

Special treatment based on gender in
education, employment, health, social
services, the media, and sports must stop.

Truth trumps Ideological hyperbole,
misinformation, and political correctness.

All the above is in the best interests of all
of us, particularly or children and future
generations.

"I want to see a man beaten to a bloody
pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like
an apple in the mouth of a pig."
