The problem with this subreddit.

I agree with you, really. I want to see less "feminists are insane and they should just stop existing" kind of titles and more about the issues men face in today's society.

When sorting for new on the first page is literally only one link with feminism in it. I think this subreddit is fine.

Women's rights are men's responsibilities. Men's rights are women's responsibilities. It's pretty difficult to separate the two. The question for both is, or ought to be, where does the proper boundary lie.

Radical feminists are an issue for men. They are the ones pushing for anti male legislation/policy. It not as 'harmless' as this manspreading nonsense, they've had a prolonged effort to deceive/misinform everyone on the realities of domestic violence, are undermining due process, and try to prevent men from discussing men's issues.

Almost everything here is about men's rights, but the stuff about feminism relates when feminism is actively trying to censor the MRM.

When men began speaking up about men's issues, feminists first ridiculed the movement, then reacted with anger and outrage. Later they've tried to co-opt the movement and redirect it from interest in legal and social reform to blaming men's issues on masculinity and trying to feminize men instead. Why? Treating men as human beings with equal rights goes against what feminism actually is; a gynocentric approach to genderless issues, one which advocates as though only women's experiences matter, only women's suffering deserves remedy, and only men are to blame for any gender issues.

Establishment feminism - the only feminism which matters, because it's the feminism which has real impact on the world - has spent nearly half a century agitating specifically for anti-male discriminatory law and policy. Their lobby is responsible for in some cases the creation of and in other cases the preservation of laws infringing on men's due process rights, discriminatory custody law, discriminatory property division in divorce, discriminatory workplace policy, and discriminatory conduct policy on university campuses. Feminist advocates have engaged in an ongoing, active dehumanization campaign against men the entire time, painting them as deadbeats, as abusers, as violent sexual predators, whatever it takes to keep the money rolling in and their preferred law and policy enacted.

That makes antifeminism a Men's Rights issue.

The biggest obstacle for men's issues being taken seriously is the empathy gap. Women's suffering is taken more seriously than men's.

Feminism both uses and reinforces this empathy gap. It is therefore vital to take on feminism.

People like you are the problem. You put feminism on a pedestal and consider it immune to criticism. We criticize feminism when it is in opposition to men's rights. Like how NOW opposes shared parenting...a perfect example of feminism's actions which impact the rights of men amd thei children.
