WeMen asks "Why men hate other men so much?"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Ever since I started taking active participation in men's issues and related media coverage, one question has stalked my mind like anything, "Why men hate other men so much?" The reason I ask this question is because surprisingly enough I have found stiff resistance from men about men's rights rather than women. Women, have been generally found to be understanding of the problem and empathizing barring a few radical male haters whom I anyways do not consider as women. They are just some non-males born to hate males.

Although I have talked about men's inability to communicate and men being unable to connect to their experiential domain earlier, today I will be talking about why men hate other men so much?

The counter argument to this can be, even women have more jealousies amongst themselves and this comes from the natural physiological behavioral pattern that "Opposites Attract, Likes Distract". However, there is a difference between dislike and hatred. When in hatred, you basically use your power against the hated to unleash your hatred. Currently this is happening with men.'

If I read this article correctly and got the point that the author was trying to convey, then I think I have a simple answer: Chivalry.

Everyone here is aware of how our tendency to protect women (usually from other men) gets in our way.

I didn't see this explicitly mentioned in this article, but it is one of the greatest obstacles that we face as MRAs.

if we ever find the key, it could probably be used to stop wars.

the most bitter fights between men have involved wars where
emotions played a BIG part.

Civil Wars (called by some the most bitterly fought wars)-
see relatives with blind hate literally killing each other ???

WW II- hitler instilled emotions and got otherwise normal humans to
put other humans into ovens. the Japanese fought fanatically for
an emperor they probably never laid eyes on.

in school we are taught that wars are fought by men because of
the desire to obtain limited resources, or something along those lines.

i know, for me, the "men" i detest most are the one's too stupid to
see how they are being manipulated by others, manginas we call them.
having myself served in the military, and working every day on a military base,
i see how countries instill blind allegance in troops to a flag, a cause,
a country if you will. and whatever that country does, no matter how vile,
like partial birth abortion here, or death camps in germany, or vietnam,
or north korea, or the killing fields in cambodia, it is somehow justified for the masses
to go out and follow the instructions of those privileged few in power.

as MRA's, many of us have had our eyes opened to the corruption of a system that
treats us like bonded servants. takes away our rights, our children and kicks us in
the teeth for good measure. we have had an educational experience thrust upon us
that we could never have imagined existed in our "great country". i am not happy
it happened, but imho it made me a better more truly educated man for the experience.
for a long time i hated those who looked down on me for complaining.
only by experiencing this vile treatment themselves will many of these manginas i now pity, become like us. maybe they hate us because we see their chivalry and servitude as two
faces of the same coin, and have NO respect for them. until they experience these things for themselves, and more and more will (our numbers are really growing), they will continue to respect and honor this corrupt system, until it bites them on the arse too.
or the whole shebang is destroyed by the shear weight of it's own greed and corruption.

from where i stand, the latter looks more likely.
