1. Excellent read. But I think they do have an 'action' group now, the Open Carry group.

I'm sure you've seen these links before, but I'm passing it on to people. The article in the OP does go into forming a groupthink and blaming others but not on their rights as men.

The ones acting out with legal permission are hiding behind 'patriotism, freedom, liberty' and their 'second amendment rights.'

The fusillade of abuse women receive from them isn't about those issues. It was painstakingly nurtured into pure poison, and it's ruining young men who fall into their groupthink:

Sorry if these have been posted before, but I think they both, particularly the second one, show what most have suspected but have not seen explained so well. The MRA are not about the rights of men except their right to use and abuse women which is not even a worthwhile effort to most people.
