Disclaimer: I'm an anti-feminist, not MRA. So I know some of you hate anything "aggressive" sourced from an MRA. Well this isn't, but it's true anyway.
Seems we have posts all the time asking why feminists and MRAs can't get along. These people don't understand that feminism is directly opposed to equality and men's rights. But what if that were not true? What if one day a miracle happened and every single feminist out there suddenly had a Road to Damascus experience and realised they needed to quit hating men, and spreading lies about men, and creating discrimination against men?
It wouldn't change a thing about the movement, and here's why.
As MRAs begin to get their message out, ordinary men are beginning to realise the situation of oppression that they are in. They might not use that word but they are realising more and more that all this stuff about women being oppressed and men being assholes is all bullshit. They are realising that it's usually men who get the shaft, not women. Women get lifted up. And they realise that society is lying about all this.
What is their reaction? They are angry. They are going to be pissed off. Probably they will be angry with women in general, which is bad, and misdirected, and something MRAs need to try to carefully reduce. But certainly they will be angry at feminism, and that anger is actually accurate and the truth and will make them stronger for it.
But it does mean that feminism has to die. Because if these men realise their situation and then see MRAs making kissy with feminists they will simply disregard the MRAs too. Feminism's reputation is already too embedded and mixed up with women only and anti-male. The MRAs are not well known. If our society even tries to let feminism off the hook for all the evil it has done, men will CORRECTLY see this as society being complacent still about anti-male behaviour.
They will CORRECTLY see it as just one more example of how "women" can attack men and never get called to account.
There must be an accounting. So EVEN IF every feminist suddenly stopped hating men their movement must be destroyed (publicly repudiated and called a hate movement) so that men and young men especially can see this and be satisfied that finally there has been an accounting. Only then can they accept that society is maybe changing.
And frankly? If any feminist ever really did change then they would be the first to say this and understand that they cannot change their ways and stay within the feminist movement. Any time you see a feminist who claims to "get it" about men but is still a feminist -- they don't get it. They don't get it and they think their crimes and the crimes of their movement are very minor at worst and can be swept under the rug and get back to business as usual. They are more interested in saving their own skin than in addressing the inequalities they created.
