Since complaining is inherently unmanly, it seems to me that any sort of men's rights movement has a severe disadvantage from the start. What do you think?

The distinction is in who benefits. A man fighting for justice is fighting for others. Complaining about what you're due, or getting what you deserve, or whatever, is a different thing.

When there's a house on fire, men go inside. When there's an attack, men defend -- at their own risk. When the boat's sinking, we give the seat in the life boat to the women and children. Men are (appropriately, I think) socialized to sacrifice themselves and their rights for others.

This puts them at a disadvantage. Women clearly have no problem with demanding their own rights. Men do, and that's not going to change.
