Does that mean that the men's movement has to be misogynist?
Are you saying that I can't despise contemporary feminism without also hating women? Because I reject that concept.
No. Your comment could lead one to believe that you were saying "if they can do it, why can't we?"
Defining contemporary feminism by those who take the stage to say stuff like "stop mansplaining", "men can't be raped", and "men should be paid less to reduce the gender pay gap", would be like defining conservatives by those who call out to "shoot immigrants at the border", "Arbeit macht frei", and "you're just a snowflake".
Or defining the men's rights movement by those who say "women are the problem", "she's just a plate", "you're such a soyboy".
If that is the only lens we use to describe others, we will see enemies everywhere.
False equivalence, because the former are things definitely said and defended widely by feminists in positions of power. E.g. "men can't be raped" is literally what Mary P. Koss said, who is behind the statistics published by the CDC and used by for example RAINN to completely dismiss the issue of men being raped by women.
Nobody serious within the men's rights movements says those things. Again, false equivalence. And please don't confuse TheRedPill with the men's rights movement.
