Are basically a hate group with a sorta-catchy name. I've seen a lot of people try to trip over themselves to make it clear that there really are some issues that affect men (and there are), and say that it's just a large number of members of that "movement" that ruin it.
I made a mistake and took the time to read some comments, and now I think it's a bit different. There was never any concern about "men's rights" from the start. They don't focus on any actual problems on their end, they just spend all their time saying that women's rights aren't an issue, that women's complaints don't matter. That's... basically it. To be clear, I'm saying every time they talk about a "men's right" issue it always includes something along the lines of "women's complaints are irrational and wrong".
So yeah, I don't think there actually IS a real "men's rights" movement. It's basically as though the KKK had named themselves the "White Defense Council for Change". So I'll just say it here, they're a hate group.
Sorry, the bile just reached a certain point and I had to vent a little.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
