    Nature is behind it. Feminism exists because humans are hardwired to naturally care about women but not men, and it's because of how reproduction works. It had some good points in the past but we're beyond that now, and still no one cares about men. MRA exists because a few people are stuck realizing nature and society and life will always be shitty toward men, since our biological purpose is to be slaves of the tribe. This shouldn't turn them against each other. People should be willing to recognize that yes, male life is almost always shittier than female life, and it's just the order of nature. The least they could do is be more understanding.

    reproduction

    Being jealous of milk cows isn't very empathetic.

    edit: let's take the greatest book ever written, the Iliad. In it there are men and women.

    Men's lives are shitty. They have to fight, they die etc. Meanwhile women sit behind the city walls, because they're frail and precious.

    They sit there waiting for their children to be killed and for themselves to be taken into sexual slavery. The young ones, the old/ugly ones would be killed ofc. Except for Helen none of the named women in the Iliad have a happy life/death. I'd argue not even Helen, since she talks a lot about wishing she was killed at birth.

    Why would you be envious of that? Why would you desire that for yourself? Why can't you imagine that even if you do want to be in that position, other people don't? Where is the empathy?

    I'd rather be the lowest soldier rather than any woman in Troy.

    We don't live in ancient Greece, we live in the 21st century west. Even in ancient times though women had it better because their neurology and body and chemicals serve them better. Mens' are designed to make them good performers and fighters, which blocks pleasure and enhances pain and anger.
