what exactly are we fighting for

What's important to you vis-a-vis gender issues?

There's a fair bit of focus on protecting children and their interests (e.g., 'intactivism', reformation of the child support racket, ensuring a child's relationship with both parents is maintained, etc.) that's beneficial to men's rights as a knock-on effect.

That segues into addressing various problems with current approaches to domestic and sexual abuse (e.g., women will routinely be denied help they need to stop abusing their partners and/or children due to the gender bigotry of the Duluth model and derivatives, rape victims may be forced to pay child support to the rapist, etc.)

Which relates to the large gender disparities in criminal law enforcement and proceedings that denies the victims of female perpetrators not only justice but often even recognition.

Fatal occupational injuries, suicide rates, lower life expectancy, real poverty rates, homelessness, general exploitation of male productivity, military conscription, etc. are topics in need of "awareness raising".

But mostly see the first question. What are you willing to fight for?

First off, thanks for bothering to learn a bit instead of just claiming to know all about it.

Second, what we fight for is true equality. Not, "Give women more, they deserve it." That's not equality. What we want is for men to have a say in whether they're circumcised or not, have people stop falsely accusing men of sexual assault/rape, make it so that men can share their emotions without being harassed, have people stop viewing all men as potential rapists, etc.

Based on your posting history, you're a lonely teenager aimlessly dicking around on Reddit. Most of us have been lonely teenagers, and most of us are still aimlessly dicking around on Reddit, so you have my sympathy. I do think your mother is doing you an enormous favor by restricting your Internet access, especially your access to pornography, which is particularly damaging at your age.
