A handful of stories about the MRM as a growing movement, official representatives and activities. Stories on legal battles to revoke female privilege and protect men's rights in paternity and level the playing field of affirmative action so men have equal opportunities.
Some garbage saying Men's Rights Activists should help Terry Crews, as if we are a massive national organization capable of putting weight behind him like feminism and the MeToo movement that said, "sorry, no boys allowed".
A quick hit against Henry Cavill for voicing a fear we all feel, some of us even faced. The balls on that man, seriously.
A sloppy slandering claiming that a fast-mouthed and crass politician is guilty of misogyny while one of his rivals is a quaint little angel who thinks well of men. (There's a spoiler in there; she's just as bad as him) To top that off, the Guardian further attempts to claim he's a men's rights-aligned politician, just for pointing out misandry when he sees it. Regular political mudfight with the MRM shoehorned in by word. Also, incels and PUAs are a part of our group according to them, so yeah. No chance they're just trying to smear a civil rights movement. A hit against a different, very well-mannered fellow for becoming a real representative of men's rights in Australia, where it is indeed needed.
A well-designed site called E-Flux having a hard time understanding that France has its own defined standards of courting and expressing sexuality and they are rife with boldness, coming from both men and women, not seeing how MeToo provides a hard smother against the more wild and cherished amorous culture the country has enjoyed. Some good points were made, but France and some of its subtleties and raucousness seems to remain alien to them.
A Metro news piece about how a politician was fined for protesting against male genital mutilation (circumcision, polite shorthand). Disgustingly little empathy was shown, his quotes were used but he was ignored and instead he was ridiculed as a minor public nuisance. What we can learn is that protesting in small groups leads to a brushing aside, protesting in large groups can lead to either success or a smear as rioting.
A piece sympathizing with a woman who after reporting a rape admitted she lied, and subsequently saw jail time. Exactly what Henry Cavill is worried about, not even two days after he came under fire for saying why he's worried. My eyes rolled a full 360 more than once, even being used to seeing feminists be so entitled to their "women can do no wrong" mentality.
There's a few more interesting articles, but I'm sure you'll have yourself a good read regardless.
I'm seeing a lot of hit attempts that hit a feminist foot into a feminist mouth. A lot of smears that just show anyone who isn't brainwashed that feminism is not for equality. A lot of cause for people to understand that feminism is indeed oppressive to men with its increasingly malign actions. A lot of ways to see feminist ideology shrieking like a cornered rat.
A lot of cause for hope, everyone. Stay strong, stay informed. We're quiet, we're few, but the word, the knowledge, the feeling of realization is spreading. I think we might be setting a stage to change the world for good sooner than it looks.

A lot the news on men's rights are still looking at the whole thing with scorn and contempt, thinking we're all incels etc. Also, why is it when someone becomes famous after starting to speak about men's rights or anything that goes against the grain of feminist dogma, a hit piece of always put out saying "MRA's, incels and right-wing trolls have found a new hero". Why do they always have to attribute it with a negative connotation? They never do this shit to their feminist friends. And people still say the media doesn't have an agenda.

Yes I did. My point is that these articles will never question who supports that person if that person were a feminist idol.

I wasn't being specific with my search. I googled men's rights and clicked on news. This was what I got. Even the other results that weren't so anti male still had a negative connotation to it: That there are some aspects of the group that want to take away women's rights etc, or sometimes implying that men's issues should be considered but from a woman's perspective. All I'm saying is that you don't see this kind of skepticism for feminism. You will never see feminist articles talking about the questionable parts of feminism every time feminism is brought up, mostly they are very friendly with the idea and they talk about women empowerment or workplace or social issues etc. It's like a normality for them now, the controversial parts are rarely put into the spotlight by popular organisations. They just take it as it is and expect their readers to have the same view. But in most articles about MRM, they always feel the need to mention "Oh btw, some MRM's are known for this and that and they're extremists blah blah blah". These things can be questioned, and should be questioned, but do they do the same for feminists? I don't hate the skepticism, I hate the double standards. That's how I view the situation. I think the way society views these things seep into these articles that's why feminism is always shown as a positive movement that can't be questioned.
