Is it normal, my issues with mra's?
I'm a female who is aware of and actually involved in men's rights but I think a majority of MRA's are doing more harm than good.
My issues with MRA's:
-twisting statistics. This is harmful because, while there may be some truth in some statistics, twisting the facts makes you look ignorant, unreliable (causing a shift from focusing on the actual problems men face and reducing it to just destroying your argument), alienating others from becoming involved, causing men to "give up" out of fear (especially true with fighting for custody of children...MRA's paint a false picture that courts are unfairly biased and men don't stand a chance, so "don't even bother, bro")
-turning issues into contests like "more men are raped than women" or that men and women are equal in domestic violence. Sure, males face these issues but it's so obviously not on the same level as women. Trying to say it is is just idiotic and petty and in my opinion...NOT the way to bring awareness to the issues.
-the prevalence of misogyny...you can go for men's rights without tearing down women at every turn.
-the high rate of complaining to a low number of actual, productive solutions
-a lot of spiteful reactions. It's clear that many of these MRA's are not looking for good solutions but rather eye for an eye type of "justice". They're not out to help men, they're out to hurt women.
Please comment. But bear in mind, this is a discussion about MRA's and such...NOT about feminism. Responses about feminism's flaws are not relevant so stay on topic please!
