The Men's Rights Movement: I Just Don't Get It.

And I'm wondering why you think that is, at a functional level: can you name another special interest group where the expectation is that they'll take up causes based around literally the opposite of their group? Do racial equality groups need to start solving the problems white people have? Should gay rights groups start dealing with straight person issues?

By and large, feminists are concerned with men's equality too, because as a group their goal is gender equality, which requires... you know, equality among the genders. But they're a specific group too, focusing on specific issues based upon a demographic that has a history of unequal treatment. That said, solving one set of problems doesn't obligate us to discard our interest in all others, it just means we're doing something else right now. Besides, given how many of the areas that men are disadvantaged in have, at their core, basal assumptions that feminism is trying to correct, I think you'll find that a properly applied feminist agenda solves many of them by default.
