But the thing about the internet is that the loudest, most abrasive voices in a group tend to draw the most attention to themselves. The end result is that we all see MRA's as a bunch of neckbearded misogynists and we all see feminists as a bunch of shrill, man-hating harpies. The reality of things is that most people are neither of those extremes, but nuance doesn't work in a culture that only wants to pay attention to quick, 20-second sound bytes or messages that can be summed up in a quick meme.
I agree, our species, on just about every issue under the sun suffers far too much binary either/or thinking, and reality is much more messy than that.
