Are feminism and men's rights activism extreme ends of a middle ground that many people already acknowledge?

Numerous surveys in recent years find that only around 16% of western society identifies as Feminists - though I’m not aware of similar surveys specifically inquiring about MRAs, responses from the former strongly suggests their numbers to be roughly equal.So we’re dealing with 16% Feminists, 16% MRAs, and 68% who opt for Egalitarian, Synergist, Humanitarian, or (at least) Not-a-Feminist.These same surveys find that 87% to 93% of respondents support unilateral equal rights. So, yes, it’s pretty much a given that western society considers equal rights to be a natural given.Feminists and MRAs share a common core in persistently grandstanding legitimate statistics independently of their respective contexts, though Feminists are far more prone towards blind adherence to their ideological ‘Gospel of Oppression’ - MRAs, at least, will acknowledge where their arguments are flawed and either adapt or abandon accordingly.Feminists are also far more prone to claim ‘systemic oppression’ for anything which even coincidentally involves women. It’s not enough to have women working alongside men in tech fields but, because women choose to wear outfits which bare their arms and legs (often accompanied by open shoes) while men are required to wear suits and ties, to also claim that https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/frigid-offices-freezing-women-oblivious-men-an-air-conditioning-investigation/2015/07/23/bdd1b4b4-30ae-11e5-97ae-30a30cca95d7_story.html!!Feminists also have a record for subverting unrelated issues (they’re now calling it ‘intersectionality’) in trying to claim legitimacy for their continued ‘struggle’. Actually get a Feminist to acknowledge that there IS NO ‘Gender Wage Gap’, they’ll instead rail about the educational attainment of women in third-world countries where less than a quarter of the population even has electricity. Or they’ll rail about some culture aborting 6 million female fetuses (while, at the same time, praising the 28 million female [plus 26 million male] fetuses aborted by western women since Roe vs Wade).At least the fact that 82% of divorced women win child custody can be substantiated, as well as the fact that two-thirds of http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2922347/ is committed by women (overwhelmingly by divorced mothers). Yet, supposedly, the courts are “acting in the children’s best interests”. (Meanwhile, Feminists are up in arms over the increase in ‘manimony’ - professional women forced to pay alimony to their former husbands.)

When we define Moderate as the mainstream (by which I mean not the ‘actual’ moderate but what is perceived as moderate by the vast majority of the population, as judged by the Overton window) social activists actively challenging the status quo tend to be regarded as more extreme than those either blindly accepting, or quietly complaining about, the status quo. Activists will always be seen as more radical than those who are passive to the status quo, by definition.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window

I would like to think this is the case. But from my perspective it seems it is not the case. One salient example in my mind is in the US we have many many political candidates that espouse, implement and defend feminist issues and platforms but very very few candidates if any that do the same for mens issues, or I am not reading/watching the right news sources. (BTW… I don’t think Trump counts as a mens rights activist.)
