> In that sense at least we are all feminists and men’s rights activists, but nearly 100% of everyone reading this would have felt some emotional recoil from being called at least one of those two things. Why?

I guess I fall outside that range. Do most people actually find themselves having emotional recoil here? I personally feel very much a pro-women and pro-men rights supporter. Do most people not feel like that? But see it as a women vs men and not a equal rights for all kind of thing?



I can't help but react negatively to "Men's Rights" the same way I react negatively to "White Power" or "Corporate Welfare".


It's the label, as both of the labels sadly have very negative connotations now due to echo chambers.
