So recently Time Magazine put out a poll of words that should be banned, and "Feminists" came up as one of the entries.
Feminists lost their minds when "Feminists" topped out at a jaw-dropping 51% of the vote - thus, more than any other option, combined.
Mind you I think the word CONSERVATISM or TRADITIONAL VALUES should be on that list and tied for first place with FEMINISTS - since both are enemies of equality and individual liberty - but that's not the only problem with what's going on here.
The other problem is the reaction by men's rights groups.
Case in point, this meme that is now spreading around:

What's wrong with this? FOX NEWS.
Fox News is a huge bastion of misogyny (and racism, among other things). Recent case in point. There's no difference between them and Jezebel magazine except their target is usually women (and minorities, and everyone else that doesn't worship unregulated capitalism and traditionalist misogyny).
The core of the problem is that Fox News just doesn't evoke the kind of revulsion among MRAs that Jezebel does. But Fox News will gladly bring out their claws against MRAs over the issue of Selective Service if news got out that there's a Men's Rights organization, right now, that has a case before the Supreme Court to abolish it. Fox News will happily make fun of stay at home husbands and other "non manly" men.
Feminists have a point that misogyny hurts women, although they are ignorant when they say there's no such thing as misandry. There is such a thing as misandry, and it does hurt women. Fox News is the misogyny part of the equation and they definitely hurt men right along with women. MRAs haven't gotten the point logically, and it certainly hasn't gotten ingrained emotionally.
This will be to our detriment. You can't destroy feminist misandry without also destroying traditionalist misogyny. Sexism is a two headed snake - misogyny and misandry: sever only one head and the other surviving head will make the first grow back. Back to Square One the world goes.
Fox News is not an ally of the men's rights movement. Citing their content and cheering at the ass whupping they occasionally deliver to radical feminist extremists is like signing a Faustian Contract in blood. It feels good now but we all - men and women alike - pay dearly for it later.
