I found this very demeaning. Just because bad actors are the loudest doesn't mean the issues aren't valid.
How exactly?
No ot does mean it's not valid, because said issues are all literally just patriarchy, and yet whenever they're discussed in the context of men's rights it's always in the context of just trying to make the feminists shut up about feminism because "see it's bad for us too!" before then sitting back as if that helped anything.
Men not being able to express emotion? Patriarchy. Men having to be breadwinners? Patriarchy. Men being typecast for manual labor? Patriarchy. Men not being trusted with children? Patriarchy. Men not being believed when they speak out about DV? Patriarchy. Men being ridiculed when they act as a homemaker spouse or stay at home parent? Patriarchy.
Trying to talk about men's rights in opposition to feminism is impossible to do in good faith because either you're intentionally trying to shut down discussion of the actual issue at hand, toxic symptoms of patriarchal oppression, or you're a fucking moron so incapable of seeing the issues that your participation in the discussion is an active detriment to other participants in the conversation.
Men's rights kvetchers never discuss solutions, they just try to bring up ways patriarchy is bad for them too without acknowledging it's patriarchy so they can tell feminists to shut up as if that addresses anything, and then sit down without proposing solutions, because any solutions would involve dismantling patriarchy, and they literally just went to all the trouble of shutting up the feminist trying to do that.
Yeah it's definitely men's fault they're incapable of having a nuanced conversation with you....
