My post had no replies when I edited.
I removed that reference because I felt it sounded like I was accusing you of being against men's rights. That wasn't my intention.

Definitely. However, when the solutions that third-wave feminists put forth further disadvantage men in areas like unemployment and education—or, to be more diplomatic, when someone passionate about men's rights feels that way—it's completely reasonable for them to respond with their objections.

Many people who passionately oppose third-wave feminist activism also oppose discussion of politics on HN, period. So they don't consider this to be a platform for their political views unless they're responding to activism already on the front page.

Notice the word equal. I really believe that feminism deals with men's rights as well when there exist inequities that favor women. True men's rights.
