The truth is that as white men have to share more power with women and minorities they feel like they are losing power. Some of them also had an outsized assessment of what they were capable of, and assume that if they aren't getting what they deserve it's because they are being held back. So they are losing power and feel like they are being held back, and along comes a men's rights organization to tell them who the enemy is.

That doesn't justify it in the slightest; thinking about the issues in any serious ways reveals the truth; white males actually have it pretty darn good. But it is understandable.
