I know you are being ironic, but I do believe that's probably the basis for most of that nonsense.

Shame you can't say that about 'real women' conducting themselves with honour, discipline and intelligence.
I think alpha male unwittingly showed why we need feminism and not mras. If a man generally conducts himself okay, things do work out for him. A woman has to do that and waaaay more, because she also has to fufill societal expectations of femininity as well.
There are some shocking stats out there. 5% of fortune 500 CEOs are women. That's why you need feminism and not mras. Feminism is about more than egalitarianism, it's about correcting thousands of years of sexism that lead to many of the imbalances in society we see today. Since neither the history not nor the imbalances exist for men, there is no need for MRAs.
Men get harsher sentence for assault? Well no shit. Because it's way worse to be assaulted by a man. It's going to be a more violent experience 98% of the time. The history of mens rights activists is a gross and unsettling one tied to a lot of right wing unpleasantness and more than ever today.
