View submission: Why antifeminism is necessary for egalitarianism
Why does "banding" together matter? I never said activist groups of men. These are systemic inequities fostered within patriarchal societies. It wasn't a feminist judge that told me men can't care for a child as well as a woman. It wasn't a feminist cop that told me he wouldn't take my assault report because "women can't assualt men." It's not feminists that brigade comment sections of articles of boys raped by teachers saying "wish I had teachers like that when I was a kid." Blaming one group for men's problems is short- sighted and unproductive.

I understand your point and generally agree, but feminism/feminist or policies influenced by it aren’t immune to fostering their own biases and stereotypes. For example, the Duluth model often portrays men as perpetrators and women as victims. Thus, to use your example, a police officer, regardless of their feminist views, might be influenced by these biases and still dismiss a man’s claims or simply believe the woman over the man.

Fathers were initially given custody by default. Guess who lobbied to change that?

But it was feminists who pushed for the Duluth model which states as much. The Duluth model is used by law enforcement.

But it was feminists who defined male victims out of rape stats. Which is a huge part of why stories like that never call it rape.
Blaming one group for men's problems
Blaming the group that has created and exacerbated these issues is 100% warranted and necessary if we want equal treatment.
