There are men at the top. What is the demographic at the bottom (garbage workers, manual workers, farm labor). Which sex goes to prison more, commits more suicides, dies in war, and loses custody battles the vast majority of the time?

Have you heard of the term toxic masculinity, weaponized incompetence, patriarchal, misogyny used? Are women discussed the same way? Are women ever misandrist?

I'm also skeptical of MRA simply because I do think they are resistant to many feminist arguments that are actually applicable primarily to the working class. I'm in total agreement, I think working class men often suffer a great deal of the blunt of exploitation, but to say that women in similar economic positions don't have their own struggles is also faulty. Anyone who truly wants to change society should recognize that a social movement must involve the concerns of men AND women, white and black, etc. and not be some sort of cheap identity politics that re-enforces the norms of victimhood ideology, and as far as I can tell MRA does fit into that category--but I could be wrong.
