"Disturbed individuals"? Did you read the articles? The people being describes are the leaders of the "movement", like Elam. The "movement" obviously encourages the behavior being described -- meanwhile, groups like CAIR work hard to address the popular image of the terrorist Muslim. Where is the CAIR of "men's rights" I wonder

FYI, CAIR is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. It's a dangerous organization.

There are some Muslim leaders that express disturbing things as well. Once again, this does not make them the voice of mainstream Islam. If you actually visit a large men's rights community, like http://reddit.com/r/mensrights, you'll find that some women participate in discussion as well and the men are not the rape-happy bugaboos that many paint MRAs in general to be.

Oh hey look the top story is someone "cherry-picking" a paragraph from an article one person wrote, about rape. Glad I took the time to visit

It's almost as if movements in general - feminism and the men's rights movement included - are prone to partisan sensationalism.

I'm confused; "feminism" isn't a singular movement at all

Mainstream segments of the movement, if you will. The mainstream of any movement is where a sense of tribal identity emerges that's likely to engage in partisan disparagement of other movements seen as opposition.
