Men having rights is not stupid. "Men's Rights" is stupid, because we already have them. Any man who has fewer rights than a woman in modern society is discriminated as such because of something about them other than their gender.

It's like fighting for the rights of drivers of passenger cars on the road, or the rights of cute puppies to be adopted from the pet shop. It's like owning the Extended Edition of Lord of the Rings and demanding a scene that was in the theatrical cut. It's like buying a cheeseburger at McDonald's and specifying that you want it to include beef. It's like playing Smash Bros against level 1 CPUs with all weapons on and complaining that you didn't get the hammer. It's like fighting for LeBron's right to play basketball; to wit, nobody's stopping him.

I'm strong enough in my masculinity that I don't have to pretend to be oppressed just to feel good about myself.
