There are very positive men's groups that aren't toxic wastelands.

They usually have a powerful message of non toxic masculinity especially for youth. I've been thinking about this lately, there needs to be a strong distinction between the two, because MRA's use abhorrent tactics and get far too much traffic, while the men's groups that are about positivity and forward thinking, don't get near the publicity, and they are the ones we want our youth to hear.
