I'm fairly new to the topic overall and was wondering what some people thought about an argument I've heard repeatedly, lately.
The argument goes that because feminism is for gender equality (I'll accept this as a majority view for the sake of argument - I believe it is probably true but I don't actually know), that the Men's Rights Movement is unnecessary.
To me this seems like a double standard based on one's preference for one over the other. If both are defined as being for gender equality, why is one unnecessary while the other is required? Does this argument make sense that I am not understanding? Is the MRM full of misogynists who only work to oppose feminism rather than compliment it? (I've seen this claim a lot as well)
I will qualify my own beliefs: I believe that there are both advantages and disadvantages to both men and women and that to pretend one side has issues while the other does not is dishonest.
