When they make up a large portion of feminists, it's a general problem.
I dont think its as large a portion as youre making it out to be.

"Equal" means you look at all the rights that one sex has over the other, and vice-versa, and make sure both sexes have the same rights as one another.
I don't think it particularly helps calling oneself a feminist or a MRA, as both terms are gendered which puts a spin towards that gender, even if you don't do it consciously (i.e. feminist groups are going to address more "women are less advantaged" issues than they are "women are more advantaged" issues). Egalitarianism is the way forward.
I have a sister and a mother and have met heaps of women in my life including my partner. I know how easy I have it compared to them.
