I guess my problem with feminists fighting male issues, even if they're rooted in the patriarchy, is that they don't actually address the male issue. They're more interested in uplifting women, which is needed, but doesn't actually address the issue from the male perspective.

My other problem is that while the patriarchy is a useful lens to view gender issues in, it's treated as the only way to view them, when they have much more nuance than just that.

I mean, it's technically a feminist issue, but feminists aren't doing much about it and will likely never do much more. So for practical purposes, it isn't and needs another group with different goals in mind to address it.

THIS THIS THIS!

You're talking about the mra, aren't you. or the "Equalistst"/"Egalitarians" right?

DA but I don't think those groups are doing a very good job of it, and they're antagonistic towards women, which isn't helpful.

They fit the criteria "a group with other goals in mind", but for the most part I don't think either group has been particularly productive in addressing the issues they're concerned with.

The MRA is counter-feminist, not pro-man.

I know. But that doesn't mean people don't keep trying to promote it as pro-man.

You know, I don't really have a horse in this race, but it always seems remarkable to me how many arguments against the MRM are just recycled arguments from the early feminism days.

"They don't care about women, they just hate men"

There are similarities in the arguments against, but not really in the organizations or their styles or causes.

Reminds me of the University of York, where on the International Men's Day last week, a group of "feminists" basically wrote an open letter about why noting this day (which is a day dedicated to tell people about things like high suicide rate among men etc.) would be sexist and evil and basically managed to influence the University into officially ignoring it. One of the arguments in the letter basically burned down to "The International Men's Day does not address women's issues enough and therefore is sexist" another was basically "they didn't ask us women how we wanted to talk about it so it's bad" - in both cases it was a clear example of "we only care when it's about us, if not, literally go kill yourselves".

This was all one day after a male student committed suicide there.

address the male issues...?

directly refuse one to obliged, that's why.

is there differences of conception of the issues? was there
repentance of that regards?
