If they needed one before this, why had no one brought it up before the internet-fed MRA movement became so loud?

Disagree. I think there is a need for support services for men. There are a lot of angry dudes out there. Regardless if you or I think the origins of the anger are wrong or misplaced, it still needs to be dealt with.
I believe men still statistically outnumber women in substance abuse and suicide rates. There are certainly enough escalating problems among young men to justify the existence of a support group.
I would also suggest the present small existence of such groups has more to do with our current and historical normative views on masculinity than anything else.
