What should men's rights activists fight for? What's the biggest injustice that needs to be addressed?

Well I'm not really an activist of any kind, so I'm not keeping tabs on this, but the biggest one is without a doubt children and custody. In most cases, custody goes to the mother (with unwed couples it's virtually impossible for the father to receive custody, unless the mother is very clerly unfit for parenthood, like some kind of a homeless drug addict), and in the cases where men do have custody, they receive less child support. I also find it highly disturbing that according to this site, ~80% of women want sole custody, while only ~40% of men demand joint custody - that's some really archaic gender role horse shit going on there.

Those stats are pretty old (from the 90s), but I couldn't find a more recent decent source. (Many articles by women's rights kooks, a couple by mens rights kooks.) This one seems pretty impartial in how he presents the data.

An obvious one is military service, which in many countries is compulsory for men, but not for women.

False rape accusations and public shaming, like the whole mattress girl fiasco.

I don't understand what you mean by this; can you elaborate?

I mean, is it okay to push 1 person in front of a bus if it means 10 other people will live? (Otherwise the 10 people die, and the 1 lives.) It's also a quote from Star Trek.

That's how incentives work, by disadvantaging perfectly innocent white people for the sake of the "greater good". Racism for the sake of dispelling racism. I'm also starting to sound like a philosophy major because it's very late here.

I disagree with that kind of thinking - choices usually aren't binary, and you shoudn't wrong people for any reason. There are other ways to increase black representation in the workforce than discriminating against whites.
