Is he failing in life? That seems why most men join men’s’ rights groups.

Have him focus on work place safety, men's mental health, men's rights in family court, men as advocates for their own health (prostate checks, going to the doctor), support for men who are abused or in toxic, unhealthy relationships, men's suicide prevention, men and education, men's substnace use and risk taking etc.
See if you can engage him in those kinds of topics where he can advocate and support men in ways that needed and necessary.
This. If he is saying stuff like "women shouldn't vote" you can ask him how that would improve any of these issues.

I agree - you'd be giving him an out in which he can work towards a good cause but detach from the misogyny.

I’d hate to think what websites he’s on. Is he MAGA?

It does go way beyond that, and is things like “women are xxx, and men should be able to xxx”.

I mean you raised him. Engage with him and inform him. Have the conversations.
If he doesn't want to abide by house rules... he moves out.
If you don't want to do that... well, then I see how he ended up that way.

Turns out that narrow, rigid, toxic ideas about gender and masculinity aren't good for men, either. Who knew?

My 22 year old son has joined a couple groups and is now a “men’s rights activist”. He’s an adult, I cannot change his beliefs, but I’m not sure how to deal with the constant talk about men’s rights when he’s at home around family or on the phone. Is there anything that I should do? I also have have 18 and 17 year old sons to worry about.
