I am aware that MRAs are contemptible professional misogynists and twist things to their foul agenda, but we also have to accept that, sometimes, absolutely anyone can be discriminated against and that just maybe men can be "anti-slut shamed" into not talking about forced penetrative intercourse with a woman because either nobody can believe that that would happen, nobody can understand why he wouldn't freely have sex with her, or they will be figuratively immasculated for admitting it.
MRAs feed from the the gap they percieve in feminism that anything male-related is only defined by negatives like "men shouldn't" or "this is trivial and mustn't be talked about."
Of course MRAs don't actually get anything they're saying right; they are ignorant of actual feminist works, and dedicate all their time to regurgitate the strawman anti-feminist bullshit that some youtuber they found posts. Most MRAs are confused whether they defend or protest against the patriarchy, what they are told however is that "feminism is undoubtedly bad."
Unless (public?) feminist discussion about male victims takes place, misogynists will feel free to grab actual victims and tell them "see? feminism hates you. I'm the one who cares" and hold them up to their followers as "proof" that feminism is bad because it fails to address them/hates them/etc.

Calling MRAs out won't really make them stop if the root from where they hang on to hate women and convince others to do the same is left ignored or not discussed.
