"Men's Rights" cracks me up.

[Lyric]

110. Gay rights, women's rights and other minority rights are just that

minority rights. Men are not a political minority. Frankly, there has never been a bigger, more powerful, longer-entrenched political majority in the world than the male one. It's even older and more powerful than the cabal of the wealthy--and the two are (and historically have been) deeply intertwined.

Men's rights is the political and moral equivalent of "White" rights. Are there issues that men face regularly? Yes. Are those issues related to a longstanding oppression and/or denial of human and/or civil rights, perpetrated by a powerful political entity onto a minority that holds less power? Nope.

Even rich people have problems--but those problems are not the fault of the poor. They tend to be the fault of OTHER rich people. And the same is true of men. What always amazes me are the false equivalencies that the MRA movement draws. We all know that the rights of women have always been oppressed by the men in power. We all know that the rights of racial minorities are oppressed by the racial majority in power. So when "men" start having issues, they automatically adopt the posture of the victim and assume that someone MUST be oppressing them too! Except...the culprit there is usually men TOO. Women aren't the ones committing the vast majority of rapes against male victims in this world--that is oppression by other MEN. Female judges are still much rarer than male judges. When custody is awarded unfairly, it's often a MALE judge, using outdated social norms invented by MEN to control and corral WOMEN (a.k.a., women ought to stay home and raise babies), who made that call.

The stuff that MRA's complain about is, when you strip away the hysteria, evidence that men can be victims of the entrenched patriarchy too. Women aren't oppressing guys. GUYS are oppressing guys. If they were even slightly sincere, they'd acknowledge that fact. However, many of them don't really seem to care much about getting to the root of their issues. They like being able to blame and hate women, and nothing will ever deter them from that line of reasoning.
