The fact that the men's rights movement is controversial is shocking, tragic and proof it's needed.
Feminism, especially, third wave feminism, hasn't actually necessitated a men's rights movement but it has been a catalyst that's awoken men to a few truths. Third wave feminism has become a laughing stock that no intelligent person can take seriously, no doubt much to the chagrin of old school feminists and genuine women's rights campaigners.
Privileged Western women screaming bogus facts hysterically and blaming petty first world problems on men in vitriolic tantrums of misandry have got attention; some are making lucrative careers from it in their newfound professional victim status, examples include Jessica Valenti, Anita Sarkeesian, Jonathan McIntosh, etc. Such media whores have massive followings as they play Pied Piper on social media in a narcissist orgy of gender studies fairy tales and pseudo-intellectualism.
But some have smelt a rat. Indeed, many have questioned the ethos of third wave feminism, or whether one even exists. The success of #WomenAgainstFeminism has proven that many, perhaps most women have been really pissed off by snooty princesses being their mouthpiece and advocating utter drivel that has scored own goals and led to a near gender war.
Feminism has been on the offensive and both men and women are its casualties. Like all warmongers, the bitches of the gender war have profited from human misery, injecting their venomous propaganda into every tragedy possible such as blaming all men for shooting rampages and inventing a rape culture. Demonizing male sexuality and lobbying governments to expand the definition of rape has left a lot of men scared to approach women and made a lot of women lonely and frustrated.
And chivalry is dying. Women once enjoyed the positive attention from men with unquestioning cultural traits like "ladies first" and all manner of privileges. Feminism has made men question that and there is a growing number of young men who don't see why they should put women first if their masculinity is "toxic".
The response to feminism shouldn't be a men's rights movement but sadly it is necessary. Men can now see they've been had; they always do the shitty jobs, they are virtually insignificant in family law and they feel reduced to the role of sperm donor and ATM. I think the majority of women don't want it that way and would be much happier with more traditional gender roles as nature intended; men would too and wouldn't complain if feminism hadn't screamed and thrown mud in their faces.
If modern feminists cared about women, they'd listen more instead of pursuing their authoritarian indoctrination and they'd realize that most of the world neither wants feminism nor needs it. There are, however, places in the third world where women do need help but they're not getting enough thanks to feminist hysteria in the first world. I wonder how many women and girls have died due to third world misogyny while the shameless feminist slags are too scared to leave their ivory towers or cozy posh apartments.
