Where as feminists traditionally came across as?

Fair point
There's a lot of misdirected anger sloshing about around the whole thing.

There are nutty feminist activists
There are nutty MRA people
The latter are probably a higher proportion nutty, though. There are plenty of perfectly reasonable and sane feminist activists.

yeah
I think if it made sense to judge any type of movement on the basis of its ability to retain people on the annoyingly clueless - complete mentalist spectrum, there wouldn't be any valid approaches to life left to choose from.
The problem with nearly every MRA thing I've seen is that they're anti-feminist. If someone wanted to actually address the minor but still significant disadvantages that men run into in society, they'd drop the flamboyantly ignorant anti-feminist stance, recognise the massive struggles that other rights groups have had to overcome, and take pointers from their work.

People who care about such things
have International Mens Day, Movember and all the related guff - these tend to cover real male-specific problems without misogyny.
MRA people seem to just hate women. If they seriously think men are a marginalised group, then they are bonkers.
