Re: It's that time again (non-fandom confessions)

along the lines of the manchild complaint up thread, I have a problem with how MRA has become the term to describe all awful men.

It just reminds me of how dickbag men use feminist as an insult.

Hey, of course some [member of equality movment] are asshole and are just in it to shit on [member of opposing group], but that doesn't mean the whole movement is flawed. They have some good points and there are some real problems that need to be addressed.

Just more of that "them and us" tribal bullshit.

I don't use it to describe all awful men, but when people self-describe as such, I know I probably wouldn't get on with them, the same way some people hear "I'm a feminist" and consider that a red flag. I feel like the movement itself is flawed, populated by a majority of people who use it as a weapon against women, instead of a weapon against sexism, and that the few good points it makes could be covered by egalitarianism or humanitarianism or anything else outside of the MRA umbrella.

And yes, I understand all those same points could be made about feminism. I feel like there's nothing wrong with pro-women non-feminists, because the movement itself is flawed. I'm a pro-man non-MRA, and that's who I want to discuss male right with.
