"Male-rights activist" is so far from cutting it, it's like trying to cut it with a sponge.

I've come across MRA websites on the net, and they are scary, intimidating, nests of misgyny. You don't want to go anywhere near that label.

My own opinion is that you can't have a male equivalent of feminism. It's like having a white equivalent of the black equal rights movement, or a heterosexual version of Gay Pride parades. You can stand against gender-based discrimination, which can happen to men as well as women, but you can't have a male "equivalent" to feminism society isn't drenched in narratives which code men as inferior.
