And so what should they call themselves to distinguish themselves from misogyny?

  It's not the name that's the problem. Even just advocating for things like more resources for male domestic violence victims, is seen as taking away resources from female victims. So it will be viewed as misogynist no matter who does it. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_against_men#Legal_activism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_against_men#...

  the feminist movement had and also continues to have a lot of misandry. Hatred is wrong on both sides.

  Something other than "mens' rights activists", because that name is already taken, by a malign group. It's a bit like how you, if you were ran an electricity network, you wouldn't call a committee set up to improve public safety warnings and protections on your pylons the "Committee of Public Safety", because, while that might seem on the face of it an innocuous and descriptive name, they did do the Reign of Terror. There are groups who sincerely advocate on mens' issues, but they typically use different names.
