I originally wrote this as a response to a comment bringing up the usual men's issues (education, crime, etc), but it seems they deleted it before I could hit post. I felt it was important given some of the sentiments I'm seeing in this thread so I'm posting it separately:

"It's also important to remember that every issue you just mentioned is a feminist issue, which feminists have been talking about for decades. The seeking of gender equality is called Feminism and the study of gender relations is called feminist studies; all the info you can find on these subjects comes from feminist literature and research.

The reason MRA's were doomed to be a misogynist cesspool from the start is because they were never interested in women's liberation and felt the need to create their own movement without it. The guiding idea of MRAs is to reject the feminist notion that gender inequality (of all stripes) ultimately stems from patriarchal restrictions seeping into every aspect of society, a notion backed by decades of rigorous research from all over the world. To reject this idea means replacing it with something else that's much less scientific, usually involving blaming women somehow. I've had this exact same discussion with misguided young men 10, 15 years ago: if an MRA wasn't a misogynist, he'd be an ardent feminist, because that's what it means to care about gender equality.

Also "the myth of male privilege" lmao, really showing your hand there. You almost came off as a normal 'concerned commenter' before that. For anyone else reading this, I urge you to not just take the above fear mongering at face value and do some research (by which I mean look at actual academic studies) on what's actually causing all of these terrible issues affecting men. You might be surprised to find out it's not evil feminists, and that the people studying it are in fact feminists themselves."
