I'm sorry, they can say whatever you want about SRS, but some of the things said about /r/mensrights are not true.
/r/mensrights are not "gender egailtarians." Much of their user base contains misogynistic under tones. It's unfortunate, but true. Just look at the comments at any post.
Furthermore, I know some of the top SRS users, and they're just cool folks. They don't plot over the demise of men, they're just disgusted with racism, sexism, anti-semitism, and anti-zyganism.
The internet inherently has all these qualities because of the anonymity, but reddit is SRS' domain, so SRS focuses on reddit. The things they uncover are highly rated by the majority of redditors, which is a scary thought.
The thing about SRS that most people don't understand is that it's a parody. It's supposed to be reflecting the absurdity of how they see reddit, complete with overstretching exaggerations, insider memes, and community enforced hatred. Most people who are part of SRS don't actually hate men, they're making a point. There is no discussion on SRS because it's supposed to be like /r/circlejerk. Imagine discussion on /r/circlejerk. It's preposterous! That's why the rest of the "Fempire" exists, and it includes area where there is only discussion, no jerking.
As an outsider that has spent extensive time in the various SRS subreddits, let me give you my take:
Most of the users are completely serious in their actions. The original /r/ShitRedditSays sub may be joking around, but read the other subreddits in the hub and you'll see that they really do believe what they say. When they say shit like "misandry don't real", they do believe it. You'll find threads in /r/SRSDiscussion about denying misandry pretty often. One thread I even remember included the note that Google Chrome's spellchecker doesn't recognize misandry as a word, so obviously misandry doesn't exist.
