I love this:
" From job entitlements; family laws and rights; expectation of men to protect and serve women financially and emotionally, to disparity in suicide rates of men; male healthcare; and the increasing number of girls outperforming boys in education. It was clear men were under attack from all fronts."
That is a good summary of the most often argued MRA points. When you see them all together like that, you realize that they are either delusions or they are things that men are doing to themselves.
"Job entitlements" in a world where women make about a quarter less than men in the same job.
"Family laws and rights:" here's an interesting article about the fact that fathers, by and large, don't SEEK custody of their children. That's why they don't GET it. When they do seek it, they get some form of custody in the vast majority of cases.

"Expectation of men to protect and serve women financially and emotionally:" The major breadwinner in 40% of American homes is a woman. Another percentage has a woman as an equal breadwinner, and another percentage has a woman as a secondary breadwinner. There is no more expectation of men than there is of women to provide financially. And exactly how is it that woman are showing their expectation of men to "protect" them emotionally? This "protect and serve" nonsense is a myth made by men, told to men and believed by men. Women don't figure into it.
"Disparity in suicide rates of men:" because men won't go get help at the same rate as women. So, hey, men! Change that!
"Male healthcare:" Because men don't go to the doctor. So, hey, men! Change that!
"Increasing number of girls outperforming boys in education:" So, hey, men! Study harder! Though, really, you don't need to because, better educated or not, we women will still not make as much as you when we get out of school.
If men are under attack, it is by nothing other than the myths of masculinity they choose to believe and to tell each other.
