Yeah, I'm kind of on the fence there. Feminists claim that having a men's rights movement is redundant because feminism is all about equal rights, so they're for men's rights, too. Men's issues are so different, though. Dealing with female rape doesn't solve male rape, because women are raped by acquaintances and men get raped in prison. Dealing with violence against women doesn't help violence against men, because most anti-female violence is domestic and most anti-male violence is non-domestic.
Sorry, hope I didn't derail the thread too much. X-D
Both movements have really good issues that we'd all like to see addressed. But for some reason, they care more about slinging shit at each other for internet points than doing anything that might actually benefit their causes.
