One of the most obvious problems with this argument is that the National Organization for Women has stood in the way of alimony reform (http://www.flnow.org/press%20release%202013-4%20alimony.docx) and supports the Obama administration's expansive Title IX interpretations, both of which are harmful to men. If this author's ideal pro-male feminism does not exist at NOW, then where can it be found, and to what extent is it actually relevant to a discussion of real-world social movements?

I would also point out that to a great degree, the public face of the feminist movement is Jezebel and other such mainstream sites. The author you quote essentially claims that these feminists aren't True Scotsmen ("public, academic, or otherwise serious"), but on the other hand he or she has no problem judging the men's rights movement by its most grating voices.

What are the best voices for the men's rights movement?
I haven't done a ton of reading on the movement, but I can point to Warren Farrell as a thoughtful author who has important things to say about men's issues.
