There are actually some aspects of the men's rights movement that almost anyone should be able to get behind. Many champions of men's rights point to the need to help poor men with custody issues and raise awareness of male victims of domestic abuse. Unfortunately, these reasonable stances are drowned out by outrageous, aggressive, and delusional voices on major men's rights forums. Rape apologists and vitriolic blowhards who get their rocks off trolling Jezebel comment threads may not be the majority of the voices, but they are the loudest. For every thoughtful investigation into problems men face, there are three moronic pieces by authors claiming to have been wronged by "rabid feminists."

Sure, before the Internet, chauvinism and joking about aggression against women were commonplace, but only in the Internet age have treatises with titles like "The Necessity of Domestic Violence" gained traction. Major MRM sites like AV4M (Sample Headline: "False Claims Of Rape and Harassment Are Now Employed As 'Tools Of Social Change'") and Return of Kings (Sample Headline: "Women Are Incapable Of Solidarity") deliver this nonsense to hundreds of thousands of men a month. We definitely need advocates for men, especially the impoverished and marginalized among us. The thing is most legitimate advocates for men's rights want to stay as far away from the "Men's Rights Movement" as possible
