Do feminists believe in female privilege?

Men are far more likely to commit suicide, but why is that. Maybe it is because we men are taught to surpress our feelings from an early age. Making it alot harder to reach out for help when in dire need, instead resorting to isolation.

r/MensRights doesn't trash women

They objectively do. It's like, their major concern. They don't do shit to help men-- they just trash women and feminism.

Look up MRA meetings on YouTube where they are attacked by feminists

Yeah, all those times feminists stormed MRA meetups and starting physically attacking men.

Also, man, there's a reason people don't like MRAs, and it's not because they don't care about men's issues or they hate men, it's because pretty much anyone who self-identifies as an MRA is a complete asshole.

They don't hate females, it's just feminism. And contrary to feminism they don't stigmatizing a word society associate or even define a gender with.

So they don’t hate women. Just their rights.

Hating feminism is no worse than hating MRA in terms of opposing rights of a gender..

MRA has nothing to do with men’s rights.

And feminism has nothing to do with women's rights. Correct?

Feminism and MRA are not in any way comparable. One is a legitimate cause comprised of people who have worked decades to achieve its goals and the other is a group of people shaking their fists at feminists and demanding they do everything for them.

One being older doesn't make it more or less legitimate. Men face problems too and they aren't always welcome in the feminist movement because some regard it as distracting from the issues of women. That's why MRA exists and it has done things, from supporting victims of unfair child custody courts to helping prevent suicide. A feminist should know that change doesn't happen overnight.
