A lot of people who “support men's rights” are really just supporting the (sometimes former) status quo (which isn't great for men, either!), and trying to push back against the idea that women should have rights. They should be distinguished from the people actually trying to solve men's issues – but then again, it's not hard to tell the difference.
Agreed, but one can say the exact same thing about support for women's rights. Arguably, the attitude discussed in this subthread could be seen as a case in point.
Now that you mention it, a disturbing amount of activism in general falls into this trap.
