    I still genuinely don’t understand how this is any different than basically any other ideological affiliation.

      Which is why you should choose your affiliations carefully, especially for a fledgling movement that is still finding its ideological footing. I think men’s lib is something that should be seen as closely aligned with, but distinct from, feminism.

        The men’s liberation movement ranges back from the 60s, developing pretty much at the same time as second-wave feminism. The movement as an official legal entity isn’t a thing now, but it used to be openly pro-feminist. The men’s right movement literally rose from a chunk of the liberation movement that left because of exactly this.

          And then we abandoned it to the Andrew Tates of the world. Because it threatened feminist moral supremacy.
