I think you have a misunderstanding of how Red Pill philosophy is connected to the MRA. One thing to note is the word, "philosophy". i.e. the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence. The Red Pill philosophy is a way of seeing how the world works. How you act on this understanding is another story.

Now let's look at the MRA, or Men's Rights Activism. Note the word, "activism", i.e. the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change. So if the MRA use the Red Pill philosophy as their way of understanding the world, and they are setting out to change the world through political or social change, how does that in any way make "TRP ideals...in complete opposition to men's rights"? If anything, the Red Pill philosophy is a way of identifying problems with society, and denying said problems is, therefore, counter-intuitive to Men's Rights Activism. Consider it the MRA version of the feminist "patriarchal theory" or "social power dynamics", if you will.

Just some food for thought.

They don't though. The MRM is in no way affiliated with TRP nor do they operate off of TRP philosophies. There may be RedPillers who say they are MRAs, but they're woefully unaware of whatever cognitive dissonance they've had to to undergo to hold both TRP and MRM beliefs.
