Not a fan of social activism, especialy of the "I'm X and therefore an X rights activist".
I know stuff like that sometimes changes the world for the better, but I personally like to stay the hell away from it. No offense to those who like to involve themselves in something like that.

Until they have man colored tampon boxes, there will be no justice for MRA.

Gonna avoid my first response for fear of getting banned.

Semi-obvious point being, you wanna take the chance of stitches at the end of your dick while trying to take a pee? Janz, tell me you are not against flu shots...

Good points I guess.

Goofle, what exactly constitutes as men's rights that wouldn't fall under basic human rights?

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Alot of activist tend to gravitate towards parenting equality and rights with regard to the birth of their children. Parenting equality is something I could see being a hot topic.

Well, I guess I could make the argument that the women (unless problems such as mental instability or criminal record exist) should have rights to a child, given the whole being pregnant thing.

I used to identify more with the feminist movement and saw the MRA's as a joke; now while I still believe many MRA's are just angry misogynists, seeing both sides really made me see they had some good points. At this point I just call myself an egalitarian and call it a day.
