Now, as to why MRAs won’t help men? Simply put it, they are just one of many idpol groups whose sole purpose is to divide the working class by pointing to men’s issues without addressing the systemic factors underlying it in favor of culture war-type sloppy narratives that demonise feminists and women but not the capitalists that make men’s lives (as well as women’s) miserable.
Indeed, their portrayal of feminism as all-powerful has been discredited with the repeal of the Roe v Wade by the SCOTUS where feminists were largely incapable of stopping the various state-level anti-abortion legislations. Another discrediting factor is that most MRAs, due to their right-wing proclivities, are often incapable of genuine economic critique as most chuds are, so they often resort to spooks like feminism and boomers and sometimes “woke” to explain away the general degradation of living standards for men of all races
Sure, they may be spot on as it pertains to how society favors women more than men, but apart for a left-wing minority, most MRAs are just chuds so their solutions either amount to “reforming” the stuff they shit on like marriage and family, but not once they ever challenge any of those patriotic institutions that make men’s lives miserable, instead pretending that patriarchy would be good without “gynocentrism”.
Ofc some of those chuddish MRAs do acknowledge how a patriarchy often reconstructs the very things they hate, but they’ll support the right wing anyway just because they find the left “icky” both because the left is pro-equality and because of chuds’ general inability to question their own priors. Indeed, many of those white MRAs turn into MeToo-supporting feminazis whenever news of brown-on-white sex or rape is brought up.
Indeed, since angry young white men get nothing out of voting for right-wing parties, it wouldn’t be wrong to describe them as the battered wives or the cucks of the political spectrum because, as much as African Americans are admonished for overwhelmingly voting Democrat for decades, at least the latter gets something out of it in terms of secured civil service jobs. Angry young chuds get nothing at all in contrast.
Basically: MRAs can diagnose the issues with society’s mistreatment of men of various races (despite the overwhelming focus on white men), but their focus on idpol shit and shifting blame from porkies to women and minorities makes them complicit in putting young white men
