It is reactionary, i.e. its MO is to paint "feminism" as monolithic and dangerous. If these men really cared about gender inequality and the problems they face as men, they would see that many branches of feminism, like radical feminism, offers solutions where everyone comes out the winner. But that's not what "men's rights" is for.

This is coming from a man who has learned a lot by listening to women instead of constructing male echo chambers.




There are men's rights practitioners that support the egalitarian aims of feminism. Equality is what reasonable MRAs and feminists want. Unreasonable MRAs and feminists, however, are more interested in having someone to blame.


"egalitarian aims of feminism" keep demonstrating you know little about what the word "feminism" refers to, go on


The popular understanding of feminism is that it aims for equality between men and women. You've more or less said "you don't understand feminism" without explaining how, exactly, feminism doesn't aim for equality. Not very useful if your aim is to increase understanding of your viewpoint.


Maybe men's rights advocates mostly fight about unreasonable feminism then.

If you have any links to reasonable feminism, I would be glad to receive them. I am still looking for examples for that.
