Not all Men's Rights folks are horrible people.
Most of them are just normal every day people who just want equal treatment from the society after getting the short end of the stick so many times in their lives.

I mean shit like equal child custody and equal funding for screening and research for prostate and testicular cancer.

And men's mental health issues that pretty much no one wants to deal with because "all men are strong enough to fix that on their own".

You haven't gotten the short end of the stick because you're a man.

Also, equal child custody is a pretty regular thing so long as one of the parents isn't a documented piece of shit. All of the divorced parents I know share equal custody of their children. Even in the case of my wife and her ex, he's got equal custody despite not having a job for the past 4 years and not holding a full time job for the past decade.

As for men's mental health, the US' culture has changed significantly. Still improvements to be made, but that's true of mental health care in general. I work with men that labor all day and don't ever hear someone shit talking about someone who's in therapy or dealing with their mental health issues.

That's anecdotal obviously, but I think your worries about men's rights are off and you're blind to the fact that men are generally at an advantage over women in many avenues of life. Much more so than any perceived disadvantages we may have to deal with.
