Its recruitment for like-minded people, by which I mean the very "societal dropouts" the article mentions. While I am not sympathetic to MRA at all, I understand why this article is aggravating to them. From their perspective, anything that tells them what they need to do to integrate back into the work/family/debt system is based on society's interests at the expense of them as individuals, the same old societal pressure to "be a man" just wrapped in a different ideology. The result (to them) is the same, immolation of self for the social and economic benefit of others. This is in fact one of the reasons they don't see feminism as compelling, as since in the past Patriarchy would have explained the subjugation of the male to society, as feminism's influence has increased, their lives have actually gotten worse and they still are being harangued to join back into the workforce, but with drastically reduced incentives. We could argue over if it's really feminism's fault or it's just that it coincided with the inevitable loss of these jobs because of the changing economy (this is the article's starting premise) but they don't see it that way in any case. I did also notice several comments that wanted a return to traditional family arrangement and employment, but they seemed to be the minority.
