He can see the issues to a low level, but he chooses to deny reality. That being, that women are the problem with the 'man code', they encourage it, and that men have little choice but to engage with it. Most men and boys think its normal because females encourage it.

He had an article published in The Guardian last week and the comments ripped him a new one.

The cause of men’s very real unhappiness ...[is] their own efforts to live up to an impossible masculine ideal....Big boys don’t cry. No sissy stuff. Be a “sturdy oak.” “Be a big wheel.” “Give ’em hell.” Being a man, in other words, is defined by divesting oneself of anything remotely associated with femininity (like kindness, sensitivity, intuition, empathy). When heterosexual masculinity is defined by violent obtuseness, these “guy rules” rob boys of their chance to develop emotional skills to thrive in relationships with others.”

Where the hell do they get this stuff? Seriously? Did I miss the memo where great men were suppose to lack empathy and kindness?

The only way that these people can attack constructive masculinity is by redefining it into something it isn't, mainly a behavior of cruelty and destruction.

His understanding of Men's Rights is, like Amanda Marcotte's, either the results of profound lack of listening and reasoning skills, or a calculated effort to dismiss the issues as unimportant. It would be the equivalent of a higher-class businessman in the 20's telling a suffragette that she doesn't understand this world, and that if she would just let her husband take the decision for what's best for her, everything would be great.

Finally even women are exposing the hypocrisy of feminism
