Sometimes? Many times.

They haven't "forgotten" anything. Its a purposeful decision to ignore it.

"Be a Man" leads men to internalize their problems

When boys show weakness, they're called crybabies by their own mothers. Its mostly the women who want men to not show their emotions and i don't see a single feminist telling mothers to raise their sons differently or women to be more receptive to their SO's feelings, instead its Men who need to "change" despite only facing negative reinforcement all their lives.

Just look at how MRAs are treated by most of Reddit, we're called Incels&Women haters just for saying that Men suffer from discrimination in this society. What chance does your average schoolboy have in getting his voice heard amidst the wails&shrieks of Feminists who have declared masculinity as toxic?

Men aren't all that different from women

All Men are different

What!? Male&Female brains are wired differently, to deny this is denying science. Men&Women think differently, you can't lump them both together as if they're the same type of people!

Boys are better at STEM

Those are the statistical facts, not stereotypes. This whole post is just Feminism Lite.

I am struggling to find some precision about where MRA and feminists overlap and where they diverge on this. Surely, even radical feminists would agree with some of these messages, but where would they stop agreeing? Male victims of DV as anything but a marginal problem - surely. Men speaking out in a way that could be interpreted as slandering women - probably. But how do they rationalise speaking out against the constraining effect of male gender roles, which we would all agree with, while at the same time using those gender roles to chastise men speaking out about their problems along the lines of male tears and, what, basement dwelling spoiled brats? Certainly it is not a matter of dismissing the gravity of mens problems, as feminist rhetoric is dominated it seems by the problems of a female, Western elite.
