Most of the issues that mensrights complains about that are legit issues are in fact created and enforced by the patriarchy.

Lets show some examples.

1. Circumcision

Created by a patriarchal faith out of some misguided sense of “god inspired” hygiene and perpetuated by a male dominant medical field.

So patriarchy created and perpetuate this problem.

2. Child custody

Most (85-90%) couples choose their own custody plans.

About 15% go to family court. Women typically get custody due to the fact they have been the primary care givers.

Men, when they seek custody are often awarded it. (70%)

So this problem don’t real.

3. Selective service

Women aren’t forced into it because men consider women unfit for the battlefield, women are not allowed in combat units even if they volunteer for service.

So the patriarchy and misogyny are behind this.

4. Bias against men in divorce courts

Again most men don’t fight for custody, and when they do they often get it.

This problem don’t real.

5. False rape claims.

False rape accusations are bad, but very very rare. What more often happens is a woman is raped and not believed by law enforcement. Rape culture is a real thing. Most of the people who rape are men. Over 90% of the people who rape are men. A lot of men will even admit to rape in surveys as long as the word “rape” is not used. A lot rapes also go unreported and many many victims are shamed into silence or intimidated into silence.

False rape claims are not a men’s rights issue due to its rarity and the fact that when you ask most MRA’s what they want done about it they say something along the lines of making false rape accusations illegal. Well it it already illegal under filing a false police report and possibly perjury so i don’t know what they are really asking for here.

6. Vilification

MRA’s Claim “Men are regularly vilified and demeaned, both in the media and by feminist and government groups. The primary example of this is the widespread belief that men are the only gender capable of committing domestic violence, which comes with the corollary belief that women who do commit domestic violence are simply defending or empowering themselves.”

But if we look at this the idea that men are more violent than women it is simply a social construct created by the patriarchy, see my points on selective service. Women are seen as the “weaker or lesser sex” in our patriarchal society so seen as less likely to commit violence. While this may benefit some women in certain legal battles the source of this attitude is still misogynistic and sexist against women. Women and men are equally capable of both good and evil, violence and peace. Our society however creates a construct different from reality altering the perspective of those who do not yet understand feminism.

7. Education discrimination.

MRA’s claim “While there was massive social outcry over a previously perceived education gap for young girls in science and math, there is little social concern over the growing education gap for males. Young boys are being outpaced and disregarded in terms of literacy rates, which has a huge effect on overall learning ability in all subjects. Additionally, women have made massive leaps in post-secondary enrollment rates, and now significantly outnumber men in most post-secondary institutions. While female specific scholarship plans were implemented to support women in post-secondary education, no such programs are being implemented to now encourage men, and no plans are in place to repeal the no-longer-necessary female-centric scholarship programs. This is further evidence of discrimination against men.”

The study this comes from also says

“While boys’ success in several academic domains lagged behind that of girls, it is

important to point out that there were contradictory findings. For example, on the SAT/Verbal Test, no differences occurred in the performance of males and females in any ethnic group, except among African Americans (Coley, 2001). On the SAT/Mathematics Test, males in all racial/ethnic groups scored higher than females (Coley, 2001).”

And in this article http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/curriculum/2012/06/evidence_persists_of_stem_achi.html it is shown there is still a clear gap in favor of males in the STEM degrees and while more and more women are getting undergraduate degrees men on the whole earn more than women due to the higher numbers of male STEM graduates.

The causes of these gaps are clear gender stereotyping within classrooms. Math and science are often perceived as “masculine” subjects because they lead to success in “masculine” fields, such as medicine and engineering. English and history, on the other hand, are often perceived as “feminine” subjects because they are more closely aligned with “feminine” jobs, such as teaching or care work.

As we established before this attitude is patriarchal in nature and inherently misogynistic. The fact that the “masculine” subjects pay more is a pretty clear indication of patriarchy.

So in conclusion I have yet to see a legitimate case of misandry.
