...and I've warned them that the far-right will gladly adopt their talking points and assimilate their movement. A lot of them think that feminists and "SJW's" are the real authoritarians. I have furnished quotes from Nazis about the subjugation of women, but they just engage in historical revisionism. The usual crap about how the left are the "real Nazis" and how the Nazis were "left wing".

Always felt that MRAs should be included in lists of far right and hate groups.

I haven't done this in a while because since Twitter and Reddit came along, my point has been made for me. Nazis have absorbed the MRAs. Any MRA that thinks he is not far right must be batshit nuts at this point.
