Why I'm not a big fan of the Men's Rights Movement

MRAs are fine by me. Even if we disagree about a lot, we're ultimately helping each other whether we admit it or not.

TRP is about social interactions.

I 100% agree with MRA from a legal standpoint. Men and women should be legally equal.

As far as fighting dirty. I will always suggest a man stuck with a kid he doesn't want expatriate. Rather then pay support.

I suggest doing some research. I lurk in both subreddits (and feminism) - there's only one of those three that accepts patriarchy as an actual thing. They 'pander to feminists'... What, by rejecting them and trying to expose the negatives of the movement? You do not seem to know at all what the men's rights movement is.

Wether you support MR or not is a choice, but if you're making choices based on false information, you're doing it wrong.

MRM is fighting an uphill battle, you can't just start preaching TRP straight up, your opponents will take it out of context and use it to discredit you. So they had to make compromises.

I would say MRA is what MRA is. Most of their core members despise feminism to their heart content. And lo and behold, most of time they bitch about feminism and outrage. Still, I got some good message out of Warren Farrell and positive male role models in life. That message is just a starting point for Red Pill and I urge all RP members to support this.

They're trying to fight fair against an opponent that is fighting dirty

I see them as trying to use the exact same tactics but hijacking the goals. Kind of a roundabout "agree and escalate" kind of thing that hijacks the different methods the feminist movement uses to support their ideology.

I think they're effective in a way, but have shitty focus and don't have a clear vision of what they're actually trying to achieve as a group.

I think it's good that they're a movement though. Some of them focus a lot on laws that are used against men so it's good knowing there are active numbers that want to apply pressure in those areas.

I like to think of the MRAs as the /r/srssucks to our /r/greatapes
