Man up.

Guys, this is most likely a troll, don't give them any ammo about how we're all a hate group. Just ignore it.

You're 17 years old, dude. You think you know it all, and that life has nothing left to teach you.

I was 17 once too.

Looks like a troll but:

Feminists will bitch, to use your word, about the tiny matters like being oggled by someone they didn't want to be oggled by after having deliberately dressed to show their feminine charm, or because of some doubtful statistic. MRAs are complaining about a number of much more serious matters:

The law of presumed paternity
Affirmative action only for females and even where females are already in the majority
Biased criminal sentencing with women getting far smaller sentences for exactly the same crimes
The attention that is paid to the alleged glass ceiling with hardly a whisper about the glass cellar.
Single sex conscription along with equal rights for volunteering
Default custody for mothers in divorce situations
The legality of paternity fraud, it is not even a misdemeanour.
Bias against boys in schools, particularly primary schools
Consistent and persistent portrayal of men on television as being incompetent fools.
The failure to protect men from false allegations of sex abuse by penalising those who wilfully make false allegations
The refusal of anonymity for men accused of rape while rape accusers are protected often when the claims have been shown to be false.

These are not small matters, nor are they based on lies like a good deal of feminist writing (lying about the alleged wage gap, the prevalence of rape etc.) It is necessary to right the wrongs as soon as possible.

As a young man, you should be aware that trying to take a female-sensitive stance will not make you popular with women. They can see right through you. You will earn their respect the same way you will earn mine.

No. We are the mens rights movement and we declare in one voice that we will not be forced shoved and shamed into your "man box".

Are you familiar with the condescending wonka meme?

It's easy to say that when you're a 17 yr old who hasn't been raped, told you deserved it because you're a dude, had your kids taken from you, because men can't care for kids, and been beaten to shit by a women, and told you couldn't defend yourself because 'women are frail'.

In summation,

Eat a fucking dick.

Go fuck a goat

You are of course absolutely correct. But you'll get insulted for it.

There is absolutely a place for men's rights concerns. But there are a lot of people here who actually go so far as to think men overall are worse off than women.

Perhaps it's true in isolated aspects, and they absolutely need to be addressed, but that still doesn't change the fact that as a white, American male, I readily admit I belong to the most entitled group in the world. I am given endless advantages, and the world is mine for the taking.

To suggest otherwise is ludicrous.
