I don't necessarily agree with every point either, but I thought it was, as usual with him, well written and thoughtful. Surely nothing deserving to go totally unnoticed in such a thread.

Pretty much my opinion on all such movements.
MRA, feminists, whatevs...
It usually just ends up with totally hypocritical fingerpointing.
Address and work on actual issues, not this broad we-are-discriminated-against-and-therefore-mad-and-everyone-owes-us stuff.
Once again, no offense to people who engage themselves in such movements. They often did change things for the better. Surely more than I ever did or will do.
