Do you really think it was the Right Wing that did this to you guys?

Good point, the left has become so misogynistic I'm not sure the MRA ideology can be branded exclusively as a right-wing one anymore. And I feel politically more and more homeless...

I think that's one of the reasons the MRA/TRA got a foothold so easily. Liberally political radical feminists trusted the left to have our backs and the moment men wanted something they shoved a knife in it.

I liked the left because they seemed more compassionate and didn't deny science the way the right did. But now I've come to realize that both sides will deny or embrace whatever science pushes their agenda, and neither side is compassionate.

the radical feminist movement originally grew out of women who broke away from the Left as it was in the 60s and 70s because of the misogyny. There are quite a lot of us who know the Left have never been our friends.

In fact few men on the left would help us to achieve equality, so we never relied on them, all the reforms women got, women got by themselves and it was a very hard slog which is why women are so determined not to lose those rights now. Show me one man in history who fought for women's rights? There is'nt one and men should be ashamed that they happily held power over women...really ashamed and have never apologised in any country for it.
