So Elon Musk recently tweeted 'Take the Red Pill' (could be related to the movie or political issues not the incel concept) and in one of the responses was this very anti-MRA account generalising the entire MRA movement as neo-nazi terrorists. I really fucking hate this stupid feminist driven reactionary logic. All MRAs are heterosexual incels but all feminists are pure warriors of justice? This blanket generalisation by reactionary feminists just harms our movement. I don't understand why are some people so adamant to make this gross caricature of a MRA, so that any MRA narrative is effectively suppressed. Also, I don't understand what did Elon Musk's tweet had any relation to MRA, but some woke feminists had to draw that conclusion.
The narrative these people are pushing is extremely harmful.According to them, we are all basement-swelling rapist incels who are also expected to tolerate the extreme anti-male drivel that comes from feminists. If feminists actually care about men's rights issues then why don't they do something about it? If MRA doesn't actually do anything for men, then by that logic feminism is the new MRA yet this isnt the case. I hate this blatant hypocrisy. What angers me even more is that there are loud and proud male feminists pushing for this particular brand of misandry in progressive spaces.

It's not far from the truth when it comes to the loudest people of MRA. Just look at this post where the topic is about being called gay for not sexually assaulting someone. Instead of talking about the problem, it's a bunch of idiots trying to hijack the post to make it anti-women and anti-feminism. Stop supporting these fucking idiots with upvotes if you want MRA to stop being viewed as an anti-feminists/womens group.
Going through your own posts, majority of the one's on MRA aren't even about MRA topics or discussing how to fix the problems. Instead, it's mindless bitching about feminists, women, people being "woke", etc. Not once is there a post that says "Let's hold a protest focused on child custody" or "Let's determine if the judge's sex/income level/education/location/political leaning impacts child custody rulings."

I'm pointing out something that commonly happens and is the exact reason why people see MRA as not a men's issue movement, but an anti-women/feminists movement. It happens on basically every thread. Never any discussion on how to fix the problem.

That isn't a strawman argument. The MRA movement is misrepresented because it doesn't spend any time discussing problems and finding solutions, but spending time finding new ways to blame women/feminism.

No, you don't. This subreddit spends more time complaining about women and feminists than it does talking about how to solve any MRA issue.

That's a bit of a cop-out since this is a forum built for MRA. What happens on it is very similar to what happens IRL.
Here's a fun challenge. Find a post on the front page of this subreddit that isn't complaining about women or feminists, but is seeking a legitimate discussion on solving a specific men's issue. If and when you find that, see if the most upvoted comment within it the post is complaining about women or feminists, or if they actual talk about how one might solve the problem.
