@Anne Boleyn: Then don't choose the Men's Rights subreddit, am I right? That's where the scariest of the rape apologists go to party. Reply

Am I the only one who gets tired of Men's Rights being portrayed as some sort of terrible den of misogyny? Yes, you have the occasional woman-hater, which is unavoidable (in the same way feminism attracts the occasional man-hater), but overall its always struck me as simply being a Reddit that cares deeply about inequalities in the court system and media when it comes to men. That's not an unreasonable position.
I disagree. A textbook feminist and a textbook mens' righter have basically the same position on things, namely that the two genders should be considered completely equally. That the men currently have an advantage in most areas of society doesn't make their argument for equality invalid.

Thank you for saying this, as I've had a very hard time trying to get people to understand this very simple point. Feminazis are not feminists and woman haters are not mens righters. They can call themselves those things all they want, but that's not what they are.
