here, cause so much angst. People have to educate themselves on what these people say. And yes, I'm sorry, you do hear a lot of their talking points like the ERA will help men and hurt women.

Like men are oppressed by feminists.

Like there is no patriarchy.

etc etc etc

Sure you don't see graphics like the one in the OP, but that's because they will certainly get the ban hammer if they do. But they spout a bunch of MRA bullshit that seems to fly under the radar here.

It all comes from the same ugly place.
