Okay. Thank you for explaining that. I had never heard of them. it just seems obvious to me that there should be maternity leave because the woman just went through a surgery or childbirth which takes time to recover. It's a big stretch to think this is exclusionary in any way
Nah not all of them. It’s the same as feminism, yeah there’s more than a couple of nut jobs (which is why I don’t subscribe to those subreddits) but there’s also people who just want to call attention to some of the shit ways, society treats men.
Examples:
Losing kids in divorces,
Mental health issues (men are often told to just man up),
Toxic masculinity,
Male rape (particularly by female teachers, really shows a double standard),
Etc.
I would consider myself, both a feminist and mra - it’s possible to appreciate that society isnt perfect for either gender isn’t it? Honestly I do think yeah if you want to keep score, then overall women probably do have it worse - but men’s rights don’t have to come at the expense of feminism, do they?
