You are right to point out differences.

While the tinder that fueled Stonewall was about not being integrated and allowed to move freely in open society, the touchpoint was not even being allowed to segregate into their own society without harassment.

Many movements have also had a segregationist impulse to create their own resources and own society.

Its one thing when the majority state that they don't want you among them. Its another thing when they declare that they don't want you to succeed apart from them as well.

Of course our cause is more like that of the non-separatist Feminists than like that of most ethnic ( or even sexual ) minorities; because we aren't asking to be allowed to remove ourselves from society to create separate parallel communities of just MAAs.

The rights of others and youth, to choose their own company ( possibly including us if they wish ) is a necessary component of our struggle. And therefore we aren't just demanding that the Antis leave us alone, but that they learn to live with us as neighbors.

Of course all prior social movements succeeded on integrationist terms. And the history of Statism is one of intolerance of secession regardless of who is seceding or why. So the point is more theoretical than anything.

But its not as though Pedtopia exists ( even in microcosm ) nor an incursion into it will touch off a defensive reaction by its society.
