"Yay!" for our side.

The author makes a good point. Feminists would like to frame MRA's as antiquated good old boy racist/redneck/homophobes/etc - i.e. the "old guard" of misogynistic men.

By being polite in debates, non-violent, and avoiding the traps of close-minded prejudices... We can use terminology that people recognize ("matriarchy", "patriarchy", "equality", "misandry", etc) as our own, it forces them to realize there is something else going on - that we are a modern movement that is not made up of wife-beater-wearing-wife-beaters but intelligent humans who care about our families and society.

Disarm of them of their stereotyping/pigeonholing and their usual shaming tactics become ineffective.
