It would be good name, but there's no identifier connected with it. 'Men's issues advocate' - what would that mean? For that reason, it can't work.

'MRM' and 'MRA' have stuck, and it would be folly to change it now. Whatever name is chosen, it's bound to be attacked, simply because of the politics of the thing. So long as AVfM remains a voice for men, why is such distancing even needed? Right now, the only site with the arrogance to pretend it's the only place the 'discussion' is taking place is The One Good Man Project, a site read by women.

Besides which, the MRM is a rights movement. How does one talk about circumcision, false accusations, so-called 'positive' discrimination, sentencing disparities, censorship, etc. without talking about rights? It seems to me to be spot-on to put rights at the forefront. Obviously, there are related cultural and social issues that need to be discussed, but most people are capable of appreciating that 'Men's rights movement' isn't a commitment to only talking about rights.
