Interesting. I've never really got the impression that Men's Rights Activists ascribe to any specific notion like that. To me the movement seems to be about shedding light on the injustices of our legal systems where men get screwed over: divorce court, custody of a child, alimony, punishments seemingly not being equal between the sexes. I guess they also have an element of fighting against social injustices such as false claims.
I might be wrong though. I might simply be seeing only the things I care about in their movement, since I see it so rarely.
- bluGill 8y agoIf you follow the men's right movement you will notice that they regularly have to spend a small amount of time shutting down those going beyond "divorce court, custody of a child, alimony, punishments seemingly not being equal between the sexes" to those who want to put women "back in their place". Most seem to be the former, but the later does exist too and they want to join the group.
- belorn 8y agoThe feminist movement has their share of misandry, but society tend to ignore that minority of the movement and focus on the social issues that the movement highlight. In the end it doesn't matter if either movement has bad apples. What matter is if we want a society that make abortion illegal or a legal system that base judgement on gender.
