Every feminist has an agenda. In this case it's female supremacy to the point of maligning. This thread should rightfully be titled the BENEFITS of the men's rights movement (in the West's present feminist dominated political environment).
The liberal feminist states:
"Manism aims to prove that men are somewhat superior to women and seeks to oppress women by throwing claims like how it was better in the past, when women had no votes and no education. They resent a woman who works, and try to put down all women who do as those who do not care for their families. Some of them, come across as educated and claim fake titles as a means of explaining away feminism to women."
Wow. What an ignorant, disingenuous, mischaracterization of the men's rights movement. But then, we've certainly seen that behavioral trait from liberal feminists before so this should come as no surprise.
I believe Rational Wikipedia posits a much better definition:
"The men's rights movement (also known as men's rights activism (MRA), masculism or 'The Men's Human Rights Movement') is a movement that believes that social, legal and economic discrimination against men is present in society to the extent that fighting it deserves an organized effort mirroring feminism. Its membership is primarily male , though some women also identify with the movement and are sometimes known as 'fMRAs.'"
Men's organizations such as 'A Voice for Men' typically describe their movement in the following manner:
"The Men’s Rights Movement (MRM) is a grass roots, unfunded and loosely associated collection of human rights advocates focused on opposing the marginalization and vilification of men and boys in Western society. The MRM is a non-violent, non-political movement comprised of men and women who believe, based on a growing body of evidence that the human rights of males are being systematically removed by activists, lobbyists, politicians and academicians who cling to a misguided and wrongheaded belief that masculinity is fundamentally violent or harmful. This persistent myth is often referred to as cultural misandry."
A very typical mission statement for men's rights organizations can be found at 'A Voice for Men':
"The Men’s Human Rights Movement (MHRM) is a complicated and often misunderstood social phenomenon. We address a wide variety of issues that affect men and boys — and ultimately women, as well as the culture as a whole.
Additionally, there is a great deal of disinformation about this movement on the internet and in the mainstream media.
With that in mind, we suggest some or all of the following reading materials, as a simple mission statement is not sufficient to fully explain our purpose and objectives."
Indeed there is "a great deal of disinformation about this movement on the internet and in the mainstream media" and liberal feminists like Rachel are contributing to it.
In reality, these groups state that they align with 'The Equal Rights Amendment', written in 1923, to make freedom from discrimination based on sex a matter of Constitutional Law in the United States. Its wording is as clear as it is brief:
•Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex;
•Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article;
•Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.
Obviously, liberal feminists like Rachel are disingenuously and deliberately maligning a movement that seeks to correct a blatant feminist imbalance in Western societies in which feminists agitate for a supremacy that is hurting both men and boys.
