Because few of the haters even have a real name that anyone knows and none that I know of are authoring any papers that any policy makers are referencing. The idea that these people are somehow behind the curtain pulling the levers seems pretty remote. There are some men's rights groups who are getting laws changed, but they are not on the SPLC list and from what I've seen the laws they are getting changed are ones that are biased against men which means they are actually moving towards a position of parity and not rolling anything back.
