The giant, overwhelming problem with the whole "Men's Right's Movement" is not that they don't have some valid complaints, it's that they utterly and completely fail to recognize that all of the things they complain about: false rape accusations, lack of equality in custody battles, lack of support for men in difficult emotional situations, the portrayal of men in the media, etc. etc. are all the result of patriarchy and have nothing at all to do with feminists, feminism, or even women.
The people who MRA's should be trying to convince, are men. The minds MRA's should be working to change, are men's. The structures and practices that MRA's want to change are created and maintained by men.
If a person is genuinely interested in improving the lives of men in North America, they should be working with feminists and every honest Men's Rights Advocate should identify as feminist.
To do otherwise shows that a person has no idea what the hell is going on in the world and is, frankly, an idiot.
