Feminism debate.

Feminism, while based in decent intentions fully excludes the other side of the coin (men) by coming towards the issue from the presupposition of female oppression. As such, to this day, it all but completely ignores the rights of men except in so far as they relate to the rights of woman. Today, women hold more rights under the law than men (having every right a man does and then some). As such, there should not be a focus on lifting oppression against women but instead balancing the laws.

Most of the modern feminist groups are not only excluding men, but also women. For example women's issues in the middle east, Africa etc. are almost never mentioned in any of the big conferences / talks.

It's a warped movement that is made for people who agree with each other rather than for people who are willing to discuss things with an open mind. The issues they pursue almost never have anything to do with feminism, women's rights or anything of that sort. Its just a big pot of mixed niche issues (fat-shaming/acceptance, trans toilets, and anything and everything anti-white-male).

It doesn't handle gender equality, it doesn't handle any kind of equality, it just pushes agenda of people who are unwilling to deal with reality and therefor chose to scream at everybody else who does.

Whatever movement feminism was in its roots, they have been ripped out and a new seed of hate and irrationality has been planted by people who don't know enough about anything. Regardless, it is bound to fail and fade into obscurity, its a self-destructive movement that has no future.

However, many feminists believe in Patriarchy Theory, or even Kyriarchy Theory. These theories are based on the concepts of privilege - male privilege in the case of Patriarchy, and intersecting privileges in Kyriarchy that account for gender, ethnicity and other factors. While there may have been an argument for male privilege at one point in time, many within the MRM do not believe that male privilege is a universal truth of modern Western societies. Many within the MRM will therefore oppose the form of feminism that demonizes men and claims patriarchy and male privilege is the source of our society's trouble.

From the FAQ on the sidebar

Women have all the legal rights men have, but men not all that women have. For example

bodily integrity (circumcision still legal)
right to equal custody of children
the right to vote (yes you heared right, in a hyperbole way men don't have the right to vote (in the us))
no reproductive rights
right to due process
sentencing gap (the sentencing gap between men and women is 6x larger than between blacks and whites)

And there are many many other social issues men have too.

If I may ask, what brought you to this sub to ask this question?
