For me the real point of the Men's Rights subreddit is to waste time answering questions from close-minded, prejudiced trolls.

You forgot the \s tags.
I have the same rights as everyone else.
Nope, you have not.
Depending on the country, you have to do military service or be drafted.
In some countries rape is defined as a man penetrating another person, which means you can't sue a woman for rape.
Also there are differences in how the law is applied.
If you are beaten (or attacked with a knife) by your wife and you call the police, they'll more likely arrest you than help you, even if you have wounds and she's fine.
If you fight back, you'll go to jail. You'll get 1.6 times as long prison sentences as women.
If a man has sex with a 15 year old, he goes to jail, even if she lied to him about her age and had a fake id. A woman will most likely only get a slap on the wrist, even if she has sex with a 12 year old and she is her teacher and therefore in a position of authority. There are numerous examples of this that you can find in this sub.
However the world is skewed in my favour.
Not really, or at least you could provide evidence supporting your claim.
I'll provide you a few points that are evidence for the thesis that the world is skeded against your favour.
All the injustices of the law and application of the law I mentioned earlier
The school system is skewed in favour of girls. (female teacher all the way, male treats are demonized) There are numerous studies that show that boys get worse grade while at the same time do better at independent tests.
I am not at a higher risk of death,
You are at a higher risk of death. Men die earlier, men die more often of work-related accidents, men die more often in combat,
mutilation,
Male genital mutilation is common in the usa, FGM is strictly forbidden and defied by society. Women in the western nations have a way lower chance of genital mutilation than men.
abuse,
What kind of abuse do you mean? I'm pretty sure that the ratio is almost 50/50 between the sexes.
rape,
Men are raped more often in the USA, if you count prison population (which we should, since they are people too).
reduced pay,
The gender pay gap is a myth. Equality regarding the workplace means that two people with the same work related quality have the same chance of getting the job, and two people with equal work related qualities will statistically earn the same money.
The wage gap only exists, if you ignore that men work more hours, chose different careers (that earn more money), are less often ill, and other things. If you take notice of these factors, women will actually earn more for the same work.
objectification
Right... that's why the new prime minister of Australia is seen as just some hot guy in the media, while no newspaper would dare to write like that, if it was a woman.
I don't complain about objectification. We all objectify people around us all the time and that's okay. It's just stupid that women complain about objectification, while they do it themselves the most. Ever seen a womens magazine?
or ridicule than other people.
When a man is a virgin, he is shamed for it, while a women would count as pure and innocent.
When a man has lots of sexual experience, he is seen as an asshole by society, while a woman is a "strong independent woman" in this case
When a man fails school, he is just useless, if it is a woman, it's societies fault.
Where do you see women ridiculed? All my experience was that any person will immediately defend the women, but laugh at the man.
So what is the point of MensRights?
To educate people like you, and to change the imbalances and eliminate the biases.
I do not need a campaign to enhance the rights which I and other men receive gratis just for being a man.
How do you know that if you haven't even looked at what the MRM does? Usually, the only smart way to judge things is to look at all the point that are relevant, then think about them, and then come to a conclusion. You somehow skipped the first two steps.
It appears MensRights is yet another example of the loud and offensive scream of those with priviledge having it torn from their greedy hands
How does it "appear" that way? What made you think that this is the case? How do you come to your conclusion, and on what factual foundation?
