Why does there seem to be a stigma attached to advocate for Men's Rights?

Not "supposedly", it most certainly does. My post was in reference to how prisons report their rape statistics.

I like rights. I think everyone should have them!

Men shouldn't have them!

It's probably been said in the last 11 pages, but I'll reiterate in response to the original question: We seem to perceive human rights as a limited resource, meaning that if someone gets MORE rights, there are fewer rights remaining for the rest of us. Which doesn't make any ****ing sense, but that's how we act about it. So people respond to men's rights issues as if men, asserting their rights, are trying to take even more rights away from groups of people with too few of them.

Men's rights by its very definition just comes off as whining majority of the time.

The MRA movement just seems like it was started to be the counter to Rad Fems.

Whether or not I agree with the MRA movement I'll give them props for being about facts over feelings, unlike *cough* the hardcore left.

Hey now, the right does it too. Fear is still a feeling.
