That is the real world. Also in the real world these guys have helped no one. Feminism at least takes positive action to help women move towards a more equal society. Ironically most of these guys just seem to bitch about stuff.
Also there is almost NO intellectual base or history for it, compared to feminism, which has whole sections of philosophers and academics that goes back more than a century. Mras seem mostly to be made up of angry neckbeards on the internet.
A rare moment I agree with alphadouche a real man can take care of his own shit.

They aren't those two things though. Look at the history of the two groups. Feminism has a deep and rich intellectual history that goes back to prominent philosophers like Simone de Beauvoir and has a heavy academic history in universities around the world.
MRAs?? Not much of any of that. And today they are heavily tied to the alt-right. Listen to Milo hammer on about men's rights makes me roll my eyes. These guys seem like they know very little about how to actually be a man.
