VarmitCoyote asks me a couple of questions. He is waiting to get his internet connection back in his home for a Skype conversation with me. I only answer one of his questions because I would prefer to address the other in the Skype vid.
SUMMARY OF ANSWER
===================
I can advocate men's issues without attacking anyone. I wish I did not have to fight at all, but this is politics.
I do not attack women, just feminism. The two are very different. It's okay to distrust an ideology that does not do what it says it does.
Feminism is institutionalized in journalism, education and government. It is impossible to not deal with feminism. People like myself face opposition from feminism even if we are good citizens.
"Not all feminists are like that?" And? Who cares how feminism is "supposed" to work when decision makers don't care? A small handful of feminists like Christina Hoff Sommers who actually noticed their own ideology go crazy have trouble
challenging fellow feminists.
Antifeminism developed out of a growing distrust for feminism, not out of a desire to hurt women. Antifeminists, both men and women, are unhappy with feminism. Accountability is one of our tools for getting neglected issues out the door and into the spotlight.

Examples of feminists abusing people who never set out to hurt feminism.
Some of the people abused are actually former feminists.

For completeness I include the other side. The below article claims feminism had nothing to do with Earl's death. My counterargument is that while some feminists acknowledge male victims, institutions with a strong feminist presence still have to answer for biased representation that contradicts the values feminism claims to have. MRAs are caught between a rock (men's issues) and a hard place (feminist control).

I am pro-choice. Doesn't mean it's right to go berserk over it.

My article on the WAM! campaign. I discover Facebook applies their mod policies evenly (kind of), but WAM!'s bias still stands.

WAM! targeted the following two posters that are critical of feminism, but not hateful to women.
