Also I understand it was a joke even if you agree with the sentiments.
I agree with certain MRA points, but mostly because I think the social pendulum that was previously on the misogynist side (before the 60s I guess) has swung too far to the other side to an extent and, at least in the marketplace of ideas, men's issues are largely ignored or marginalized. However I do not think that that equates to inequality, but just an equal and opposite reaction that is temporarily shafting men in some ways.

But in general the MRA's that I've seen are butthurt whiners.

Nah, Republicans are like post-grunge to conservatism's Nirvana.
