What does Men's Rights mean to YOU, outside of an end to sterotypes?

Not total equality. Total equality can only come at the expense of forcing the greater to give to the lesser until all advantages are shaved off and all disadvantages shored up. Total equality necessarily comes with stagnation, as noone can be permitted to "shine" or "fail" according to who they are.

I don't know about other people here, but my ideal would be equality of access and opportunity, of rights and responsibilities, and to allow people to rise or sink to their level of talent and effort accordingly. I suppose better than "equal" would be "equitable", that is a state where everyone feels fairly treated. I expect that's an impossible dream to achieve and I have no idea how to get there from here, but that would be my wish.

To me, men's rights is recognizing the fact that men have feelings, they suffer, and they deserve to fight against that suffering as much as women do. It's also just eye opening to me.

Men's Rights means an end to the "women are the victims" and the "men are the victims" shit. I believe if you were raped, you were raped. No matter what gender you are or the gender of the attacker. I believe that spousal abuse is wrong. I don't care if you are a man or a woman. Women's rights focus entirely on what men do to women. Men's Rights focuses on both, I have noticed.

I want equality before the law. Legislation is easier to change than people's bigotry and I don't care if feminists hate me, I only care if they are enabled by the courts to put that hate into practice behind the shield of the law.

If men's rights can even manage to be acknowledged by the world then that's it needs to be successful. That's what it's about to me right now, it's a fight for legitimacy

Law and law enforcement is blind to gender. No significant bias can be observed in the execution of the law, outside a margin of error.

For me it's being able to talk about instances of men being discriminated against without being shouted down with any of the following "Check your privilege!" "Boo hoo we've suffered far worse" "When men are discriminated against it's usually legitimate" etc etc etc.

It's about men gaining equal rights and protection under the law, and women gaining equal responsibilities/obligations/duties and punishment under the law as a first step.

To me, "Men's Rights" means: *fighting against the psychotic and unrelenting scourge of Feminism, a movement that uses propaganda and misandry as tools to gain power and money for women *advocating for fairer treatment of boys and young men in schools and university (ending the brainwashing of children and society that all boys and men are potential violent rapists while women are always victims - which is having negative effects on boys' self-esteem) *promoting the truth about what 'safe spaces for women' actually are and the fact that they are not needed *advocating for more adult male presence in schools *combating misandry in the domestic violence industry and banning the Duluth model *advocating for fairer distribution of resources in the domestic violence industry so that abused men are supported (and not assumed to be perpetrators) *advocating for a fairer distribution of health resources and ending the breast cancer monopoly *arresting the erosion of human rights and dignity of boys and men in every aspect of life, which includes the right to speak out against misandry without fear *combating the hate propaganda directed at boys and men *advocating for fairer outcomes for fathers in Family Court
