It'd help if those same men (and I say this as a cis guy) would stop bringing up men's issues only and exclusively as a whataboutism in response to women's/trans rights/issues.
If you cared about these issues so much, you wouldn't have weaponized them to this extent.
Exactly, like you can't say "The social expectations and gender roles put on men are bad for men's mental health" without some incel climbing of the sewer and saying "Yes cus men are oppressed and I HATE woman."
Like these mens rights guys are literally a hinderance to men, they make everything about how they hate women. Mens issues should be a part of feminism, not a bigoted attack against feminism.
No one says that. Especially in this context. I've spoken with MRAs for years and not a single one frames men's issues as a matter of one sex oppressing the other.
"Mens issues should be a part of feminism, not a bigoted attack against feminism."
So when feminists are the ones initiating bigoted attack against men, they're just supposed to suck it up and take it in order to provide for feminists and maybe get some benefits as a trickle-down effect? Way to challenge the traditional male gender role you just claimed to be against. Also, there's nothing inherently bigoted about criticizing feminism. They don't get to use an entire sex as meat shields just because they claim to represent their best interest.
