this page [reddit.com] is a relatively extensive FAQ about the MRA movement and what it is about.

And here is an upvoted comment from that same subreddit:

Brute strength is an advantage though. An immigrant coworker from a few jobs ago recommended that I beat my wife when I complained to him that she does little at home and earns no money. He told me the tale of how his wife wouldn't iron his t-shirts because she thought hanging them was enough, so he beat her. She called her family, and her dad came over, and he beat him, and then her brother came over, and he beat the brother too. Now all his t-shirts are ironed.

There is your MRA in full. Strip away the sad attempt at public relations in the FAQ, and you find some violent, hateful motherfuckers.

You want me to post some Men's Rights subreddit threads that talk about how rape needs to be legalized? I've got some if you'd like to see them, but my guess is that you've already seen them.

You can break all traffic laws at will for any reason at all, or even no reason at all.

And the funny thing, Lumpy, is that this is exactly what leads to the most dangerous part of police work: traffic accidents.

See, it turns out that the vast majority of on-the-job injuries to police officers come from routine traffic accidents. Not as part of high speed chases or driving their red and white '75 Ford Gran Torino through barricades while driving Huggy Bear to the crime scene, but rather by ignoring traffic lights on their way to Krispy Kreme.

RooshV is a PUA (pick-up artist), masculanist, and anti-MRA and has been for years

The funniest thing about MRAs (and it's a long list of funny things) is how they all hate one another.

"Excuse me, are you the Judean People's Front?"

"Fuck off, we're the People's Front of Judea!"

And the only qualification to join is you have to really, REALLY hate women.

I think your point is invalid: The old-school, "macho" ideal put forth by this website is a far cry from the MRA agenda, which is really more intent upon striking a balance in the pendulation of the equal rights movement.

OK, let's play a game:

You give me what you think is the most serious and important MRA website, and I'll bet you I can find rape and domestic violence apologetics no more than 2 links in.

Whaddya say?

It might be even better to focus on the problem of child poverty.

Yes, that is the real issue. I think the #1 thing that could help lift people, particularly blacks, out of poverty is an end to the war on drugs. It creates a vicious circle of poverty, violence, lost hope and a tragic waste of human potential.

Young black kid with no father (because he was in jail, or killed) has no positive role model. He gets involved with drugs because he's 18, and 18 year olds are stupid. Because he's black, his neighborhood gets watched by the cops more, and when he gets busted, he gets less representation and harsher punishments than a middle class white kid. Jail -> shitty job with no prospects -> no hope in the system -> back to drugs and harder crime -> felony conviction -> not there to raise his kids rights -> 18 year old kid with no dad mixed up with drugs.

The war on drugs destroyed the black family, and there are definitely writings that indicate that was exactly Nixon's plan. Fuck that guy.
