Left wing Male advocate or left wing mra, isn't the same

Right now, if you refuse the feminist theories, you are labelled as alt right.

It dramaticaly expanded the political spectrum of people, considered as alt right. By exemple Tim Pool who used to partake in occupy wall street has been qualified of alt right.

In the future, alt right is destined to become a large group encompassing every non sjw personnality from reactionaries, conservatives, libertarians, moderates and socialists.

So I think the problem we're facing here is that this sub is mainly American based, and their 'left' is most other place's 'liberal'. The Democrats are socially centre-left, economically centre right. This sub is not really leftist, but it's very difficult to find leftists who support MRAs or criticise Feminism at this current point in time. Because of the liberation movements narratives, it's assumed that it's mostly men who are the ruling class so if you're a rights activist for 'men' you are-somehow, we don't assume this with any other movement but whatever-shilling for the ruling class males and therefore cannot be a comrade.

That said, there are some leftists here, and a lot of pro social democracy liberals-who are generally a minority in other MRA groups.

As to the difference between MRA and male advocate, well that can mean one of two things. Either

i) the 'A' in MRA stands for Activist, and this designates that MRA is a more professional and public commitment to service to men and boys than male advocates, who only need to 'speak up for men and boys' (many regard this as social media slacktivism)

ii) you find the cohort typically identifying as 'MRA' problematic so refuse to adopt that label [generally but not always Men's Lib dudes do this, but so do ex-feminists like me]

The MRM has a more codified set of theories on what it means to support men than being a mens advocate implies.

The MRM has an ideology, whereas an advocate need not necessarily have one and also need not care about all mens issues, they could be a mens advocate in a narrow and specific issue.
