"You guys are just going to have to hold your Rage Management group meeting later. To be honest, we don’t feel safe sharing a room with a bunch of rageaholics. One of you guys might have an “episode” and, I don’t know, freak out and smash a chair or something. We MRA’s need a calm, rational and civil environment while we tackle what’s on the agenda for today—discussing the logistics of firebombing a battered women’s shelter in protest of false-rape allegations."

The first time I heard of a MRA was a guy in the 90's giving out pamphlets about the difficulty of fathers getting part-time custody after divorce. All these straw-man assumptions and accusations about MRAs gives credence to the notion that feminism is simply misandry.

I don't see why because there is no necessary connection between criticism of MRAs (regardless of the validity) and feminism.

Are You Man Enough for the Men's Rights Movement?
Probably not, at least according to a growing army of pissed-off activists who are convinced that the male species is profoundly endangered by our feminized society. They say it's a woman's world now—that women have the upper hand in sex, in universities, in custody battles. And don't even get them started on all those bogus rape cases. It's enough to make a certain kind of man join a revolution. Jeff Sharlet reports from the movement's first national gathering and meets the true believers who want you to fight for your right to patriarchy

A good article about the movement.

MRA's are a bunch of sissies.

There are all sorts of ways you can be psychologically injured and it can be a lifelong affliction. I had a friend who killed himself after carrying on about Men's Rights for a couple of years. He was a good person and he wanted to love women. They just didn't want to love him. He wasn't a sissy, but he did have problems relating to women. MRA doesn't help. It is just the flip side of fanatical feminism and there is such a thing as that too.

It all depends on how we define "sissy."

I have encountered a few MRA fanatics and did find them to be the flipside of anything. Their basic premise is women are given privileges at the expense of men, and they have been personally injured by this. MRA is just another bunch of people who want to shift blame for their situation to someone else and deny their own responsibility for it.

I can imagine a man who carries on about Men's Rights will have trouble relating to women. Most of them will think he is either delusional or stupid.
