Do radical/extremist feminists create men's activists?

Wheres the "I saw how inherently sexist and unequal modern feminism is and that drove me to think a means of counter advocacy."

I never would have thought to seek out communities like this if I didn't have rather extreme circumstances.

I had an ex falsely accuse me of abuse as social cover for cheating on me to win our mutual friends back to her side. I was arrested, and when the female prosecutor convinced the female judge that my witness who knew about her scheme was to be disallowed from testifying, I was toast and had to take a plea deal.

I went to see two therapists to deal with the trauma, and both of them berated me, told me I had to sit and take it as justice for all the women who never get justice.

Yeah. They absolutely do create mens activists.

It’s common nowadays for one extreme of a spectrum to give rise to its polar opposite. Look at politics, perfect example.

By and large, in all aspects of a given point of view, most of us are somewhere in the middle, sharing views from both sides. Yet the polar extremes are what gathers views and attention, thus giving an impression of strict tribalism and sharp dividing lines in which you’re either on one side or the other, no exceptions.

I'd actually say that I would have considered myself staunchly feminist until I saw how feminists refused to apply their principles to themselves.

Participating in feminist or feminist-adjacent spaces has done more to "radicalize" me than participating in an MRA group could have ever done.

Feminism is, and always has been, a hate movement, disguised as equality. The primary target of their hate is heterosexual men. It therefore is difficult to understand how an individual who aligns with the feminist movement or identifies themselves as such could, in good faith, be an advocate for male interests. It seems more like a Trojan horse, or wolf in sheeps clothing, etc

I never identified as a feminist, and continue to not identify as a feminist due to the unfettered misandry in feminist communities. Couldn't find any that don't have at least a healthy dose.

I had a feminist upbringing with a violent mother. It was not something I chose it was forced into me. Also a lot of public policy in Sweden revolves around it so it’s difficult to know which parts come from where. I think like a man hating feminist but I don’t want to as it’s damaging to me as a man. I’ve done therapy for about 6 years but it won’t help. I hate both women and feminists for this reason. I’m also sort of an older incel which was one of the outcomes of the trauma (I can’t do intimacy) but I have settled for living with a sex doll so things are sort of ok.

Great question! Growing up, I always considered myself a feminist just because of all the machoism and inequality I saw around me. Of course I had no idea about the feminist philosophy or the feminist movements. Then one day, I got attacked by internet feminists by daring to say something like not all men are rapists (#NotAllMen!). After that I started to note the toxicity of feminism basically everywhere. I stumbled upon r/MensRights but after a while I was repulsed by the often thinly veiled misogyny and alt-rightism of that sub. For some time I thought maybe I am the only one who rejects feminism and misogyny at the same time. Thankfully I found this sub :)

What is the point of this?

Radical feminism is not a synonym for extreme feminism.
