When you compare two google searches...

I've noticed that too. Specifically I find it interesting that if you just google "Men's Rights" you usually get a mix of "good" and "bad" mostly bad. However, what really surprises me is that the term "Men's Rights" should really bring up sites that have a lot of inbound links, relevant articles, new updated material, metadata, etc...so you would think that a sight like "A Voice for Men" would automatically come up way up in top. Usually you may get a specific article from AVFM on the first page but that doesn't happen.

I really suspect either Google is purposefully penalizing AVFM (because of their anti-feminist content) or possibly a lot of people are emailing google reporting AVFM as Spam, etc.

This doesn't really surprise me but also doesn't bother me as feminists and the men's rights movement have entirely different approaches. I use this movement as a way of informing myself of the risks I could possibly face and how to guard against them and I'm happy with that. Feminism is used as a loud shouting post for a minority of people so of course it will look like it has a larger footprint but in reality this exposure is condemning feminism to implode.

First feminists reacted to our movement like "men's rights? Men don't have problems", to now saying, "men might have problems, but they too are caused by patriarchy." Another recent anti MRA talking point is claiming that MRAs aren't doing enough "real" activism. That argument is sort of a tacid admission that we're right. I hope this movement continues to grow.

Might the ~~Google Memory Hole~~ Google Knowledge Vault have something to do with this?

Google appears to be using sources like Wikipedia to do our critical thinking for us. "Don't be evil" my ass.

I don't think there is any conspiracy. Most mainstream media is anti-MRA and, I think, google puts higher weight on sites that are more visited, aka mainstream media.
