Trust me, I distrust and hate those movements with vision.

Reason nm1: Constant shitposting on any/all image boards I dare to browse.

Reason nm2: The overlap of "anti-misandry" with geniune misogyny.

Reason nm3: The hijacking of all "female/minority" problems that suddenly become white college-age male problems.

I shim-sham this issue well enough to see that, while I can agree with some issues with MRAs, it's mixed in with such hideous bullshit that I can do nothing but openly hate the movement and others like it. Note a crucial part of the previous sentence: I agree with MRAs on some issues. I'm perfectly happy with equality. What I'm not happy with is how it's blended in with TRP attempted women-manipulating and the demonization of feminism and feminists. Look at the comment I responded to earlier - the presence of feminism caused the poster to call out about "SJW Hubski". Could you please point out to me how that was deserved?

So yeah, vectors of hate. I'm going to give the members of the respective movements the kindness rarely given the other way and assume that there are some people in them that aren't bad people. That doesn't excuse the rest. It's not a silent majority, it's a silent minority.
