I could be wrong. But men's rights sells a message of victimhood that will never appeal to the masses of men. Certainly not the masculine men that ROK targets.
What's interesting is that guys often are willing to wage political campaigns based on victimhood.
Minority guys will on behalf of their race. They'll play the race card, that is pose as victims.
White southerners and rednecks will pose as victims of Washington and northern liberals.
But guys aren't willing to accept the role of victim specifically for just being men. The two concepts - manhood and victimhood - are in inherent conflict.
But the alternate way of framing these issues - by talking about in terms of explicitly denying women certain rights - won't sell either. Not anywhere in the West anyway.
So the feminist onslaught continues.
