(46,192 posts)even as a male, i'd choose the feminist even not knowing who they were every single time.
on average, feminists are more progressive, more supportive of civil rights for everyone, more supportive of government and people taking care of children, protecting the rights of minorities, and the rights of men, working men, working poor men.
Not always, but MRA's often are conservative, advocate for less support, less child support, and see the rights of women as a zero sum game, so that if the condition of women (and often minorities) are improved, the men of means are left with less.
and i have to say, over the course of my life, women have been better advocates for the weak, for me and for others than men. it's sad to say really. there are exceptions, but on average if i have to choose who will advocate better for me and for others, even as a male, if all i know is that i can choose either an MRA or a feminist female, i'll take the feminist, female every time.
might not always be better, but based on what i've seen, it will almost always be the more tolerant person and the better advocate for me, a white male.
