MRA's (Mens Rights Activists) are extremely critical of feminism.

With all due respect, you are only able to tell us what YOU are for and what YOU are against. It is presumptuous to tell us what feminists believe (since you have only one datapoint) and doubly presumptuous to tell us what MRA's believe (since you have zero datapoints).

If you are against injustice in family court, wonderful.
If you are against people dying in the workplace, terrific.
If you are for intervening in domestic violence situations before it escalates into injury to the woman, that's awesome.

In my experience, the feminists on DU are evenly split on the most fundamental issue; Is feminism about equality or about advocacy? Unfortunately, the individuals asked tend to change their minds depending upon the framing of the question. I've reached the conclusion that it's advocacy, and that "equality" is marketing.

Evidence? The Equal Rights Amendment is very clear, explicit and succinct. The National Organization for Women no longer supports that language because equality isn't really the point.

Essentially, no one can even speak for the feminists on DU. You of all people should know that even the small subset of women who identify as feminists *here* don't think the same thing.
