The MRA's are using biased methods like research to achieve their goals! Burn them!

Hmm...

faced with the rise of a more palatable men’s rights movement in Canada, it might be time to dispense altogether with the term “equality” in feminist discourse. For it is indeed this language—of freedom of choice, of equal opportunity—that has allowed the men’s rights movement to advance their misogynistic cause within a broader community. If we want things to be truly equal, organizations like CAFE argue, then we ought to provide everyone with the opportunity to succeed upon the individual paths they have chosen; securing an advantage for certain groups is not conducive to this project of equality.

Err... ya. Doesn't sound quite so misogynistic to me. Just an excuse to ramble about patriarchy:

By co-opting equality in this way, men’s rights groups have found a way to normalize one of the most troubling arguments voiced by the movement: patriarchy is no longer (and perhaps has never been) a force we need to organize ourselves against.

She talks about women's groups having trouble getting government funding as some sort of unfair hardship in comparison to men's groups gaining charitable status without government funding.

Some animals are more equal than others I guess.

Chivalry is dogshit.

Oh, look. Yet another site that has no idea what it's talking about. Do they even try anymore?

My favourite parts were the micro-rants about how male equality undermines feminism..
