Despite the sort of characters who might get involved in such efforts, there is nothing wrong with MRAs in principle. Every group has the right to advocate for its own rights in society.
Of course. That doesn't, however, mean that every cause is equal. Given the length and breadth of male social dominance, there seems to be a big mote/beam factor not being considered by MRA groups.
I agree with Thump.
And I'll just add that: IMO, despite the fact that there's nothing wrong with supporting the rights of men in principle, because it's indeed a truism that everyone deserves equal rights... it certainly is about priorities. And a men's rights group is as silly as a White Lives Matter movement.
Some things are true but so obvious they aren't worth uttering. Like, when Kernel writes his posts about complex mathematics... if I quoted him to say "I just thought you'd like to know that it's certainly true that two plus two equals four as well. Don't forget that." it would of course be a joke because some things are true but so obvious they are pointless stating or arguing for.
Such is the case with: "Men's rights are important." and "White people matter" too... obviously these things are true but they are pointless talking about.
