Ah yes, when a movement that works on fixing legitimate issues is used as an insult.

Also, I'm a feminist and the push for that movie was downright insulting. Female leads shouldn't be the entire selling point, and it shouldn't be an excuse to weasel out of unrelated criticisim.

Ah yes, when a movement is actually about misogyny...

As much as I would like to try and believe MRAs are the real deal, it's all too often they degenerate into, well, some rather nasty misogyny.

Do you know what I have observed types of misandry? The fact there aren't changing station in men's restrooms as a standard (because OF COURSE men can't care for babies, hurr), or when people assume men can't cook or take care of their homes or do their own laundry.When men don't get guaranteed paternity leave (because why would the father want to stay home and assist his spouse in caring for their new child? /sarcasm) When boys are raped and people laugh it off ("If I was sixteen and my teacher wanted to fuck me, hah hah" because boys must always want sex amiright?), when boys have to grow up with this terrible mindset that they're not "allowed" to cry or feel upset or show their emotions. Prison rape jokes, gay men being treated like accessories for straight women, men being forced by societal to "suck it up" instead of acknowledging mental issues, and this includes male victims of PTSD, who often don't seek help because it's considered "weak"

That's misandry.

But everything I've heard from MRAs seems to involve them spending a whole lot of time blaming women for their own personal feelings of rejection, and even mocking men who actually want serious issues addressed. ("You want changing stations in the bathroom, sounds like your wife has your balls in her purse, hurr hurr, try and reclaim your manhood!")

I do think Western society is unequal in a lot of ways, and I think men do get the short end of the stick sometimes, but I don't think most self-proclaimed "meninists/MRA" actually care. They mostly seem to be young white men who have found out they're actually pretty average in the Real World and want things to go back to the 1950's, when they didn't have to compete.
