It seems like you're frustrated by the hostility some mens' rights advocates direct towards feminism and apparent lack of action towards advocacy of rights.

Given that the core principle of all forms of feminism is anti-male, and feminism has directly contributed to perpetuating mens' issues (such as the Duluth model of domestic violence, Koss's influence on the definition of rape, and default mother custody of children), advocating for mens' rights necessarily includes antifeminism as a component.

Part of advocacy is developing the culture so that one can talk about these things. So talking about the issues, and collecting examples, is an accessible advocacy method that doesn't require as much capital as running a domestic violence shelter.

What would you suggest as something we can do to change society so that issues like MGM are no longer a problem? And can we do them without talking about it, therefore avoiding the criticism that all we do is complain?

This sub has little to no censorship for what contents can be posted. As a result people come up with different posts that may not be closely related to the posts you are interested in. Posts on top are always on topic though.

"Im prob just going to get banned because im not in it." Ironically, only the feminists subs are proven to systematically do that. That does not critisize any individual issue they point out, but is shitty in itself.

Im only here to vent mainly. I strongly disagree with many here, but mostly when it comes to physical violence of men and women towards men and how men and women feel when they see men getting attacked or suffer. Many simply don't want to overcome this.

By definition, MRA's are the only true feminists... we're just anti-pretenders

Here are a few examples:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/erhx4p/its_important_for_the_mrm_to_be_able_to_point_to/

Note how feminists tend to get in the way of this kind of progress. You can say not all feminists if you want, but that's where that hostility comes from.

MRAs fight for equal custody and then feminists organize a walkout to prevent the issue from being voted on. And then somehow we're the bad guys for complaining about that.

I totally believe we should have a place to rant and rave about our issues and what 'the other side' is doing, but the bitching and moaning has become so bad that so many people are just being retarded male feminists. Someone was upset today that its okay for baby cherub male fountain statues to be peeing but its weird to see a woman statue peeing. Like that is somehow oppressive. Meanwhile the feminists would argue the inverse, that its the females oppressed because their bodily functions are shamed whereas men are turned to art. It's a stupid fucking cycle and im tired of it.
