  Small terminology gripe on the fifth paragraph—“men’s rights activist” is, as far as I know, that group’s nomenclature of choice, while very few feminists would self-identify as “radical”. Comes off as slightly non-neutral.

  I don’t think these statements are entirely vacuous. Even when their content is little more than a tautology, their actual meaning is something else entirely, at least in politics; they represent that the speaker is aware of the jargon, willing to use it, essentially moderate/​”pragmatic” and prone to maintaining the status quo.
