Feminists I Like, and MRAs I Don't

I've run a couple posts so far critical of certain feminist positions or talking points. I want to be clear, however, that I'm not inherently anti-women's rights, or even anti-feminism. I probably give feminism more of a hard time than MRAs (that's short for "Men's Rights Activists" for those not in the know) since feminism is so much more popular and the not-totally-true things they say tend to carry much further, but there plenty of good feminists out there, like those at feministing.com, to give one example. And, it's not hard for me to find MRAs that I completely disagree with, and most men's rights sites are bound to have at least the occasional post that I disagree with, though I'll admit I can't think of any site that's popular enough to be worth linking (and in any case, if I linked to sites that I disapprove of, all I'd be doing is giving their organizers extra advertising money).

I like to think of myself as a "gender egalitarian": that is, I'm against sexism, period, regardless of which gender or sex it's against, and if one gender is discriminated against in some way, you try to fight against it. If that means that one gender gets more help, because they're more discriminated against, then that's how it goes. I don't see any reason to budget my non-discrimination, since it's basically a free resource.

I'd like to do more posts on specific topics, but just for the time being I wanted to apply a temporary corrective to how some of my earlier posts may have been perceived until, over time, I'm able to get into particular issues in a more in-depth manner.
