Those who interfere with meaningful discussion and actual societal progress would often argue that men’s rights activism is a zero-sum, man v. woman issue.

Obviously, we can observe that even women who dissent from the ideology fervently set forth by feminism will also be shunned by the current societal zeitgest, evidenced by slurs such as “pick me girl” and the constant barrage against a personal choice of adhering to a more traditional gender role, such as being a stay-at-home-mother.

As such, it is important to emphasise, especially to potential non-male advocates, that our advocacy is for rebutting and countering ideas, not people, right from the get-go.

I believe this is also a good conversation/topic starter to filter which individuals we can exert effort with sharing and discussing our advocacy with, as opposed to people who did not use reason to entrench themselves into the ideology, and therefore cannot be reasoned out.

This thesis could also be extended to the entirety of woke culture, which is in itself, is effectively just another radical ideological movement.
