The mrm isn't supposed to be all encompassing. It's supposed to advocate for men's issues.

Specifically the ones ignored or caused by feminism.

The first few protests on that list were against CAFE or the Canadian association for equality.

They state right on their website FAQ

Is CAFE a Men’s Rights Group?

CAFE is a human rights group that advocates equality for all members of society. Our focus is currently on men and boys because that issue receives much less attention than equal rights for women. We do not consider ourselves a Men’s Rights Group because discrimination against men also adversely affects many women including the daughters, mothers, sisters, partners and friends of male victims. Inequality can affect anybody and should be everyone’s concern.

They are very all encompassing. They were protested because they spoke up about mens issues.

I don't see anyone else backing your extremist ideals up? Why haven't I been flooded by down votes? Trolling trolls is a hobby but it's not my goal... I prefer compromise and understanding as it teaches me the most about myself and others. Obviously you disagree, which is fine. Every now again while having meaningful and respectful conversation with my fellow redditors I run into a troll (naturally) - Today it's you. My special little snowflake troll... You're so precious and full of fear. Most people label the troll and write them off; end of the line with no further engagement. But I think each troll is pretty unique. Some are just having a bad day, others just some fun, and many many other reasons. Trolling trolls is a more symbiotic relationship to me. We both get something out of it, we both get attention which is nice (I'm sure you'll agree) and I get to see what makes you tick in pursuit of better understanding my fellow man and you get to feel like you're upsetting me. So now that we are clear. Shall we continue?

It would be a complete disservice to judge this sub on this post alone, though as the votes on the post itself would prove, it really isn't something that a lot of people here agree with.

Honestly, while I consider myself moderately antifeminist, you must realize that feminism itself is becoming so diluted and widespread that even the core concepts are not something that all feminists agree on. I have nothing against you calling yourself a feminist and working towards giving women the same choices that a man is offered, but I do have a question about that.

What choices are men offered that women aren't in todays society?

What I consider much of mens rights to be is the notion that men haven't really been "offered" any real "choices". It's more along the lines of being forced to fulfill duties and obligations. The notion of actually "choosing" what to do with your life is something very recent in our culture actually, both for men and for women.

I don't accept the premise of your question.

The premise of the question is basically how you say the world is, I would just like some examples of it. I wouldn't think my self so quick witted as to have a retort for anything you say, I'm not really a good debater in that way.

Why don't we reverse your original question and why don't you tell me the things that feminists say that you think are absolute bullshit?

Well there's the wage gap, which is in itself kind of a sexist notion, then there's the idea that in the modern western world we live in a patriarchy. Then there's the sexism = power + prejudice deal of course. Pretty much everything that has to do with "he for she", the entire concept is just cementing tired old gender roles.

You could basically say that the whole empathy thing you mentioned is the big problem, I don't mind people advocating for womens issues nor do I deny that they exist. It's the fact many feminists claim that they care about mens issues as well but when you really get down to it that's usually less than an afterthought.

Well that's what I got off the top of my head.

Now I'm not going to think about this anymore though, have a Merry Christmas.
