A little self reflection.

Lack of unity and will.

Not enough strategic thinking.

A lot of MRAs tend to see an injustice and attack it head-on without considering how to be most effective.

Victimology and feminist copycat.

MRA often seems like it wants to be feminism by another name.

Men are victims too! Men get abused too! Blah blah blah...

Truth is, men get abused because men enter into situations that, had they been properly educated on (Something feminism does an excellent job of SUBVERTING) they would not have entered into.

But, chances are, your feminist mother and feminist teachers and feminist media told you some bullshit story about the patriarchy and why you need to feel guilty for being male and why (though they never say it directly) you need to worship women and hold them above you.

Baby boomer men did a HUGE disservice to themselves and to the generations that followed by allowing feminism to walk all over them. They should have educated the boys, but instead they said "Obey your mother!" And taught their sons lessons their wives would approve of, instead of the truth. Baby boomer men are the ultimate white knights.

Being a victim disempowers you, it says you can't do anything about your situation and you are at the whims of others. This mindset is very dangerous.

I see a lot of memes and talk that reflects a feminist mindset, but applied to men. I don't like it. So long as you can walk away, you are not a victim.

Yes, I realize this is like saying a girl in a provocative dress at a party is asking to be raped. You know what? Maybe she is. Maybe she prefers being a victim to empowerment. If she's a victim, she's entitled to special priviliges. Call that power, because I sure don't!

This is why I prefer lone wolf, or even MGTOW to MRA. The mgowish ideas are more about saying "I am NOT a victim, and I DO NOT have to play this STUPID GAME". I can walk away from it.

Of course, a man who can't walk away is a victim, but he's a victim of poor education. He wasn't clued in until he got the girl pregnant or interacted with the SJW without his phone set to "record", and by that time it's too late.

Focus should be on educating the younger boys about the true nature of feminism before they become victims. They aren't going to get that type of education from the schools or their mothers. That's up to us.

They should focus more on solutions. Also: be more present on social media and be more active (start for example demonstrations etc). They could also explain more what they refer to when they criticize „the feminism“. Give more definitions. Edit: grammar

Lack of high-ranking public figures.
