 The [[men's rights]] movement accepts anyone who wants to help us regardless of their gender, ethnicity, sexuality or any other characteristic they might have.  Every major men's rights organisation has had women in leadership roles. This is because those women were willing and able to fill those positions. Anyone who wants to help [[MRA]]s address the problems facing men and boys is welcome.

 Compare to feminist groups. Many exclude men from leadership roles and some exclude men entirely - calling them 'allies'. Some don't even want male allies. That's identity politics.
