What do you mean by SRS vehicle? As in feministic? That's sort of the point of the sub.
If you mean the brigading, low-effort type of stuff, I doubt it will turn into anything like that. You've got to realize SRS is essentailly what happens when extremely grumpy people, a circlejerk, and poe's law all fuse together. Actual social justice subs tend to not turn out like that. Even other subs that are heavily critical of anything not SJ (like /r/circlebroke which I am a poster at) don't end up like SRS.

I agree. This sub was not created to be a new mensrights subreddit. It essentially is here to discuss men's issues, without having to blame feminists for everything bad happening to men. Some users here also feel that feminism isn't just a movement, it's literally a way to view the world (or something to that effect, still don't understand what they are talking about). I personally want to talk about issues that have affected me without a feminist coming in saying that it's because of patriarchy we as men are all oppressed, or an MRA coming in and saying that feminists are brainwashing me. I want to discuss things like male rape, parental rights, boys' declining graduation rates, and other things that affect us. I want to do it rationally, with an open mind to new viewpoints and without feeling like I need to conform to a certain group's mold and mindset in order to post.

1. There is no way to lobby for the liberation of men from gender roles without being in dialogue with the feminist movement. There is no way to be neutral on the subject; either everyone gets to be free from the gendered constraints placed on them, or no one does.
2. /r/againstmensrights is not against men having rights. It is against the "Men's Rights Movement" which is not, in reality, a movement for men's wellbeing, but a movement advocating the codification of male privilege and traditional gender roles.

Neutral in what way?

In the sidebar it says that the sub is a place for people turned off by MRAs. The sub is explicitly not neutral.
Edit:
This is the paragraph I was talking about: Think that men sometimes get a raw deal, but don't want to associate with outright misogynists? Want to discuss men's issues, but feel like the MRM shoots itself in the foot by obsessing over feminism and SJWs instead?

Political neutrality is an impossibility. If you ally with the status quo, you side with the current oppressors.
It says in the sidebar that this sub is explicitly pro-feminist (or at the very least anti-anti-feminist), so naturally it would make sense to network with the Fempire.
