Unfortunately, their bile manages to seep into public consciousness.

A great example is in education--MRA's love to say how the same education system that actively and openly discriminated against girls and women and refused to even allow them admittance is heavily biased against men because now that girls and women are allowed to participate at an equal level, they're surpassing men in achievement.

What happens next?

You start seeing articles about how it's unfair to expect boys to sit still in school and how the very same education system that didn't even admit girls and women at all levels is for boys and men to fail.
