Men are at a disadvantage in almost every aspect of the legal system, from sentencing to child custody. They are more likely to be victims of violent crime. Men are excluded as victims from many rape laws. Male genital mutilation is widely accepted for reasons that have been debunked time and time again.
Frankly, this kind of thinking (in bold) annoys the living piss out of me. If MRAs hate feminists and SJWs so much, can they stop using idiotic SJW-type reasoning to prove how oppressed they are?
From Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals:
#4 - Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
From my viewpoint, the tactic that MRAs are using against feminists is making them live up to their own rules.
Feminists love to go on and on about how "if you believe in equality, then you're a feminist." The men's rights movement takes this statement and throws it back in their faces showing all the different ways men are marginalized by society (in ways that women aren't) that feminism is noticeably silent about. And they use feminist's own language to do it.
Unfortunately, it can (and does) often come across as whining. But I do think it will be an effective tool to undermine feminism's credibility and show the hypocrisy in feminism to the masses.
