Problems in life are a stepping stones to empowerment is an age old psychological pep pill. They sharpen you provided you view the obstacles as steps to empowerment. However, it is an uncomfortable state of mind wherein one needs to train oneself to be comfortable in uncomfortable areas or basically expand one's horizon of comfort.

Coming back to the context of men's rights, the entire scenario here becomes all the more difficult and uncomfortable primarily due to 2 predominant social memes:-

1. Emotional Castration of men - discouraging men to share their problems.
2. Social hardwiring - expecting men to sacrifice more than women.

And in this context, the entire concept of men's rights itself becomes uncomfortable and to make it comfortable becomes a greater challenge.

It actually reminds me of Albert Einstein here and his famous statement. Before going into the statement, let me be straight here that thinkers like Einstein and Copernicus have always been at receiving end both alive and posthumously. When alive they received brickbats, when dead they received accolades because they thought ahead of their times. And they were lunatics while alive and genius after death. As it is, it's a rule of Nature that "Every genius is a lunatic till he is successful and every successful lunatic is a genius". Hence, when the thoughts of these lunatics turned reality after their death, they became geniuses.

Now I will come to the statement - "No problem can be solved at the same level at which it was created" - was what Albert Einstein had told.

What does it mean?

In men's rights context it simply means that every victimized man (a man who has realized he is a victim) should not see his victimization as personal problem or his failure. It's rather the manifestation of his system around him that has somehow targeted him - may be due to sheer short spell of misfortune.

Quintessentially it means the man needs to empower his vision of the problem and rise at an altogether different level to have a second look at his problem and then solve it. If he tries to solve the problem at the same level at which it was created he may/may not get success and that too it may come expensive.

However, the moment he sees his discrimination as a system malfunction (at an elevated level, rather than it being his personal problem) he not only becomes a leader and a commando unto himself but also solves his problem effectively.

A different flavor of the same essence has been captured in Internationalize Your Personal Problems wherein Gandhi actually elevates the level of his problem by multitudes and brings about a revolutionary change. So, "Empower your Vision; Accomplish your Mission".
