I think the answer was posted earlier in the thread but the reason these groups tend to be against things such as "men's groups" is because the groups are often thinly-veiled attempts to somehow "expose" the hypocrisy of th existence of women's groups, with very little effort or intention put into addressing the issues or supporting one another.
We actually had no problem starting one at UVic and the "feminist" group were actually a great source of support and resources for a bunch of dudes who didn't really know what we were doing.
This thread really isn't much different either. How many people in here actually care about these so-called men's issues and actively work to dismantle the problematic structures that are the causes for a lot of them? How many get involved politically or support the notion of more public funds being used to support more mental health facilities for men?
It's all well and good to say you're in support of these things but someone actually needs to step up and take the reigns.
