Antisexism
This community is about Antisexism, a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against gender stereotypes and all sorts of gender-based discrimination.
Here you can share useful materials (articles, research, statistics, opinions...) on gender-based discrimination against men, women, and nonbinary people, and participate in common discussions and activities.
Rules:
1. No promotion of patriarchy (or matriarchy)
Systems based on dominance of one gender harm everyone, including, often times, people in the dominant group. They are intrinsically sexist and therefore strictly forbidden in this community.
2. Be civil and listen before you speak
The issues of gender equality often come as contentious. Remember - there are no enemies here! The purpose of this place is to discuss and find solutions together.
3. Respect personal experiences
All of us have different history and issues regarding gender stereotypes. Every experience is valid! Don't try to belittle it.
4. Everyone is welcome!
Antisexism is about everyone: men, women and nonbinary, cis- and trans-people. Every group and every person individually have unique experiences that we need to address.

Short answer: because feminism is primarily for and about women, and what it does for men is mostly collateral. As men's rights issues are not the centerpoint of feminism, the respective issues can easily get drowned and ignored - not out of malice, but out of misaligned priorities. Antisexism is a wider term that includes feminism as a part of it. It aims not to pick sides, and is equally about women and men. Antisexist perspective is one of equal treatment of gender-specific issues, and equal attention to all.
Long answer: what other folks said.
