Men’s Rights activism makes no sense to me because it’s like, what are the rights that are kept from me because I’m male? Particularly when our society makes things more accessible in general to males? and I don’t have to buy costly hygiene products every month? or be considered a joke or sex toy because of my genetalia or baby feeding practices?
Well I understand your confusion, seeing you tagged this as patriarchy. When you use a patriarchy lens its hard to see men’s problems.
To help you understand, lets start with MRAs biggest talking points.
Circumcision.
It is genital mutilation, but in the west it is legal. MRAs take issue with this because people think that it has benfits, and that FGM is way worse because it is done for sexual repression.
Circumcision was also done for sexual repression:
http://www.historyofcircumcision.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=0
“ It is interesting to note that, although Kellogg acknowledges that circumcision probably did as much harm as good, the evils of masturbation were judged so great that it was always justified as a treatment in these cases.”
Female mutilators have the same mindset, yet the law protects females, and not males.
Education.
Boys are doing the absolute worst in schools due to the ‘feminisation’ of education such as more coursework, and the lack of recess (playtime in UK) which boys desperately need to be able to learn properly.
This happens in almost all western countries.

This is an MRA issue because by putting the system in women’s favour it blurs the right to education, and could be considered systematic sexism.
Due to failure in high school, it means that an unequal amount of men can get into university, which again, blurs the line of the right to education:

Fatherhood.
This comes in two parts.
Firstly, a man has no right to parenthood. A woman can abort his baby without his consent or knowledge. If she keeps it, she can give it away without his knowledge due to safe haven laws. This means that men have their chance of fatherhood taken away from them, which is a man’s right.
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/paternity-registry/396044/
A the article says, the only way a man can get his child back is through the “ responsible father registry” which barely any men are ever told about.
If she keeps the baby, but he does not want it, he is forced to pay child support. This is an MRA issue because he was forced to become a parent, but the woman was not.
The second part comes after a split.
The USA, Canadian, UK and many more courts favour women. This may be seen as sexism against women, but what would you rather have? To be presumed a fit parent or to be presumed an unfit parent? It is another cause of systemic sexism against men. This means that men don’t get to see their children, which blurs the line of the right to parenthood.
Imagine only being able to see your own child for four days out of a whole month, but still have to ‘foot the bill’ for it. This, along with being jailed for not being able to keep up with huge alimony payments can lead to mental health issues and suicide.
There are many more issues but this post is long enough.
To understand the MHRM, you cannot start with a patriarchy lens. If you do that, then you will ignore reality and see everything to be biased against women. Hope this helped.
All hail @ima-fuckingt4ble for this concise post.
Indeed, looking at men and their issues through a patriarchy lens will only ensure that you see their plights as negligible, their personhood as problematic, and women as all victimised.
Not an mra but damn

I’m FUCKING HOWLING I’m watching season 3 or s/t of America’s Next Top Model and there’s this lesbian (I’m in love with) and it’s like night ONE and already like eight girls are in this heateed argument and it just shows the lesbian girl for 1 second for no reason in the middle of the fight as she says “who wants cookies?” and she already has another fucking model sitting on her lap on night fucking one like PLEASE tell me how to get on her level???? ??
Dammit I forgot to bring my pineapple to class
Fun fact: One time in my English class, this dude walks in like 10 minutes late. He’s carrying a pineapple with him. I figure he needs it for something later on in the day so I don’t think anything of it. Well about 5 minutes after he sits down, this dude pulls out his pineapple, starts turning it around in his hands, stares at it, and STARTS EATING IT. SKIN AND EVERYTHING. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW PINEAPPLE SKIN WAS EDIBLE. I don’t think I had ever been more confused in my life. I wish I still had the picture I took of it saved on my phone.
Oklahoma is a strange state
You have no idea
Reading that was an experience
i found the pictures
OH MY GOD
there are some stories on tumblr that are too weird or extreme sounding to be true. Sometimes there’s like, one picture, which could be something else out of context with an elaborate story tacked on.
but then there’s this shit and. there’s just. there is absolutely no way for there to be any contest over whether or not that man actually came to school and ate a whole pineapple. There it is. There he goes. There’s no way for anyone to argue this. That boy honest to god is just eating a fucking pineapple at school.

What r u serious
I FUCKING PISSED MYSELF
Give me a heartwarming Christmas movie about Satan traveling around the world every Christmas to deliver presents to all the young kids and kids with learning disorders and disabilities who misspell “Santa” on their Christmas letters every year
And Santa’s all like, “You know, I can handle a few spelling mistakes, I got this,” and Lucifer is like “They’re addressed to me, fuck off, I’m doing it.”
Lucifer being protective of his fanmail is ceaselessly entertaining.
Lucifer: hey big guy I need your list because I don’t know what these kids want for christmas and you’ve got all the info. Santa: this isn’t your holiday Lucifer: yeah well james here doesn’t fucking know that so give me the list, he asked for Satan
i’m fucking dead at this white woman demanding to know why this bear is interrupting her afternoon

This is at least the 5th time around. Forever reblog.
The police walk in and you’re wearing the one on the left. When they tell you he’s dead you gasp daintily, excuse yourself for a moment, then come back in the one on the right.
IS THAT PAULA DEENS FACE ON A RAW CHICKEN
Things that need to stop
Romanticizing illnesses and disabilities you don’t have
I can romanticize depression as a coping mechanism to make myself feel better
But if you don’t have depression you trivialize our struggle by saying things like “maybe suicidal people are angels that want to go home”
If someone who struggles with suicide says it about themselves it’s different because they know what it’s like to be fighting their own brain chemistry
But don’t presume to speak for us, and pity or romanticize us
