Anybody who claims a "cabal" of women have a goal of subjugation of men, or that standing up against sexual harassment has resulted in a "witch hunt" atmosphere has their credibility drop to nothing. These aren't merely extraordinary claims. They're claims for which there isn't any reasonable way to provide evidence for support or refutation due to the presentation in the form of "men's rights" activism. The goals always shift with these claims. "Witch hunt" will just continue to take on different meanings until it's impossible to refute. The "cabal" will have a shifting constituency, agenda, and methods until it's more or less any woman or male who supports their goal of equal treatment and respect.
"Many men now feel like “there’s a gun to the head” to be better about gender issues, said Rebecca Lynn, a venture capitalist at Canvas Ventures, and while “there’s a high awareness right now, which is positive, at the same time there’s a fear.”"
Men should feel great pressure to be better about gender issues. The gender imbalances that exist currently are driven primarily by men in a society in which men exercise almost all the power. The "fear" described seems to me to be a fear of losing that power. There's no need to fear. My wife and I are equals in our relationship, and I haven't feared her a day in my life.
