A major problem with Oppression Olympics, for me, is that it undermines the drive for effective activism.

Feminists have an incentive to not significantly reduce rape statistics, because they like to have a dramatic number to shout at people (indeed, they often make such numbers up, and then complain that women are scared).

MRAs might be reluctant to solve all men’s issues, because they know the moment they do they’ll be attacked by the “misandry don’t real” brigade and not have anything to defend themselves with.

The group with the most unsolved issues wins, and so groups who solve their issues get punished and treated like they never had any in the first place. This sort of competition is poisonous, because if people are starting to invent problems which don’t exist to win, you can be sure they’ll be hesitant to solve the ones which do. No wonder real activism is so rare in this community.
