The problem of SJWs
I don't want to see MRA make the same mistakes that feminists made. But that's what I'm starting to see.
For example.
Feminazis are fear mongers. So are some MRAs.
Feminazis have a victim complex. So do some MRAs.
Obese feminazis expect men to change their beauty standards so they're attracted to short obese women. Some MRAs want women to change their standards so they're attracted to short guys.
Feminazis are typically young women in their teens or twenties who have depression and low self-esteem because they haven't yet achieved very much in life. Instead of pulling their finger out and making something of themselves, they blame their lack of success on the opposite sex. They even think the opposite sex is conspiring against them. This is compounded when depressed feminazis go onto web communities where they give each other support (which is good) and reenforce their biases (which is bad).

This is compounded when depressed MRAs go onto web communities where they give each other support (which is good) and reenforce their biases (which is bad).
On top this they also blame their lack of dating success on the opposite sex when previous generations of men put a lot more effort into finding a girlfriend.
I'm not condeming MRAs and I'm not condoning feminazis. I think MRA is something worth saving which is why I don't want to see MRAs make the same mistakes feminists did. I don't want MRA to become just as bad as feminism. I don't MRA to turn into a mirror image, gender reverse version of feminism.
Well, I've personally always though the MRA movement was counter-intuitive to what it actually wanted to solve, which is identity politics. MRA's in my opinion can be just as cancerous as feminazis, just, as you mentioned, for the opposite reasons. Instead of ending identity politics by making rational decisions about someone regardless of their race/sex etc., they've just switched it around in the opposite direction which at the end of the day doesn't really solve the problem.
Anita Snakeesian will soon bring an end to the Tropes vs Women in Video Games video series with one final video.
"It’s never been about video games," she says. "It’s always about social justice. It’s always been using feminism to talk about these things."
She may never have spoken more honest words. Good f*****g riddance. Unfortunately she's going to be doing a new show on current events. I'm sure so as not to fall into irrelevance as she did after Gamergate essentially accomplished its goals and rendered her largely irrelevant in the video game world. I loved seeing her just pretty much disappear out of the media and out of my recommended Youtube videos in regard to her video gaming related stuff because nobody cared about her anymore. I did some quick Google searches on her now and most of the stuff that comes up are from 2014 and 2015. Brings a smile to my face.

Concerns raised over students' unions' anti-Israel stance
She told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme she felt physically intimidated when other students hijacked a speech at London's UCL given by a former Israeli defence force officer.
She said she was pushed against some doors, jostled and shouted at by protesters.

Students demand stores stop selling ‘ponchos and sombreros’
Students at the University of New Hampshire are calling on local stores to stop selling “items like ponchos and sombreros” to prevent cultural appropriation at Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
The demands were crafted by a student group calling itself "All Eyes on UNH," which has been posting photos of white students wearing ponchos and sombreros on social media to highlight "the normalization of racist behavior" on campus....
“Cultural appropriation at UNH continues the normalization of racist behavior that is already an issue on campus,” a press release accompanying the demands states. “As a majority-white campus, the Cinco controversy has shown that most students at UNH do not understand the importance of cultural literacy and how cultural appropriation contributes to the growing acceptance of racism and xenophobia.”

f**k that. I buy them because they make excellent rain gear when waiting 1/2 hour for the bus, not for cultural appropriation. Now they are trendy? I have always as an adult been made fun of for wearing them.
What next banning the name Wrong Planet because aliens if they exist will be offended by the humamogarchy?

But you can't use them for protection from the rain unless you understand the cultural struggles of the Mexican people, according to SJWs.

Just when you thought you were safe from sombreros, a new menace appears: minority students at the University of Michigan are oppressed by wood paneling:
Some minority students at the University of Michigan have apparently felt intimidated by the interior wood paneling found throughout the historic Michigan Union building.
Anna Wibbelman, former president of Building a Better Michigan, an organization that voices student concerns about university development, stated at a student government meeting in late March that “minority students felt marginalized by quiet, imposing masculine paneling” found throughout the 100-year-old building, the meeting’s minutes state.

I'm surrounded by SJW's in my city who regularly protest now every week, in a city where the majority already agree with them. There could be not a more purposeless, revel in feel goodism, self masturbatory virtue signaling activity then gathering regularly to stand around and do nothing in an area where most of the people you might encounter will already think the same thing you do.
My perspective on SJW's comes from close interaction with them over 2 years volunteering leading up to the presidential election. I could not identify what exactly was wrong with these people, I was always a liberal, but they were something much stranger. I tolerated and swallowed my true thoughts to avoid driving away volunteer labor and after my candidate didn't get it, I immersed myself in understanding what I had just witnessed for 2 long years, the psychology behind it and discovered that the SJW was already well known and well studied. SJW's I've seen range from the well intentioned to those who hold a malevolent ideology. I've become sufficiently convinced they are more dangerous than the far right, but I'm not certain if I'm biased by having a lot of them around me and my self selected viewing choices on the topic. I will give them credit, I had a lot of holes in my thinking, illogical views that I left unchallenged without meaning to and that they helped me question and test the validity of my beliefs which I think it important to always keep developing my ideas and knowledge. I recommend Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin and Sargon of Akkad on youtube if you enjoy learning about this topic, or volunteer for any "progressive cause" and you can observe them in person

Prof To White Male Employees: ‘Please Quit’
A professor wants universities to “stop hiring white cis men,” according to her May blog post uncovered by Campus Reform Wednesday.
“If you are a cis white man (meaning you identify as male and you were assigned male at birth) you almost certainly should resign from your position of power,” wrote Piper Harron, a temporary assistant professor at University of Hawaii at Manoa....
Harron, who is black and teaches math at Manoa, informed readers that “actual solutions require women of color and transgender individuals,” noting that “having white cis women run the world is no kind of solution,” referencing the 53 percent of white women who voted to elect President Donald Trump.
The professor said universities should “stop hiring white cis men (except as needed to get/retain people who are not white cis men) until the problem goes away,” telling readers that if they “think this is a bad or un-serious idea, their sexism/racism/transphobia is showing.”
Harron addressed education recruiters in the blog post, saying they should “think long and hard” before hiring white men, asserting recruiters who do hire white men are “not innocent” and that female students of color cannot emulate white men.
