The term "MRA" stand for "men's rights activists."
It is a backlash group against women's rights and feminism. Other backlash groups include the KKK and "white pride" who wish to reverse the rights of blacks by arguing that white people are oppressed. Similarly, MRAs want to abolish women's rights by lying that men are oppressed. Also, groups like KKK have been known to support violence against blacks, and MRAs are known for their support of violence against women. Both groups argue that blacks and women should stop "whining" and that racism/misogyny are not real.
An MRA will tell you how much "man-hate" there is in modern society while he insists
- that women should make him a sammich and then suck his puny genitals,
- that it is justified that women earn less than men of comparable qualification, age, education, tenure, and occupation,
- that violence against women is no biggie and women "cry" rape anyway,
- that the porn industry is all about "female empowerment," and
- that women are inferior because ... the Bible said so, Shakespeare, Moore, Hemingway, his uneducated daddy, his baseball coach, the media, and 99% of male internet users.

= Men Run Amok
The most screaming announcement of insecurity and masculine shortcomings short of two pit bulls in a lifted 4x4 truck with a "No Fear" sticker on the window.
They never live up to the āno fearā slogan though.
An MRA is always suffering from Little Manās Complex.
Hates women because they wouldnāt give him the time of day.

MRA, an acronym, stands for "Men's Rights Activist."
An MRA is a person, who can be a woman or man, who believes in equality, but chooses to focus on the issues and rights of boys and men.
Issues include male suicide, workplace deaths, paternity leave, paternity fraud, father's rights, male underachievement in education, the draft, and more. MRAs also want attention to be brought towards male victims (rape, domestic abuse, child abuse, murder, etc.).
There are many aspects of society in which men are oppressed and women are privileged. An MRA can either believe that men have it worse than women or that men and women have it equally bad.
Some people claim that MRAs are Christians (or other religions), but studies (sadly, there aren't enough) have found that about 70 to 80% of MRAs are atheist alone. The last 20 to 30% are other forms of non-religion, or are religious.
MRAs can be any gender, race, sexuality, religion/irreligion, age, or place. It has been estimated that around 1/3 to 1/2 of MRAs are female. I have no information on race demographics, however, there are many people of many races who are MRAs. MRAs can be any sexuality, from straight to gay to bisexual to asexual. I have found an estimation of about 20% of MRAs are LGBT.
The different types of men MRAs focus on are:
straight
gay
trans (Female-to-Male)
bisexual
asexual
other sexualities
white
black
Asian
biracial
other races
fathers
sons
male victims/survivors
all men
Sarah: I'm an MRA.
John: What's that?
Sarah: A Men's Rights Activist.
John: So you hate women?
Sarah: No. I believe in equality. I just focus on the issues and rights of men and boys.
John: But what issues do men and boys face?
Sarah: The male-only draft, no help for male rape and/or domestic abuse victims, underachievement in education, and more.
John: But what about the gender pay gap?
Sarah: The truth is, the gender pay gap is false. While men and women do make differing averages, men and women choose different jobs, men work longer days and take less days and vacations off, men ask for raises more, etc.
John: But how about how men are preferred in STEM?
Sarah: Women are preferred in STEM 2:1 over men.
John: B-but... feminism fights for equal rights!!
Sarah: How? If feminism actually fought for equal rights, instead of complaining about how warm air-conditioning is, how they spend more money, how they aren't forced into the military to die like men are, and more, perhaps everyone would think they're for equality.
John: B-b-but.....
Sarah: There are literally women in countries who get acid thrown in their face for being too pretty, who get stoned for being raped, who get murdered in "honor killings," who aren't allowed to drive, who aren't allowed to show their faces in public, and more, and yet you have the AUDACITY to complain that the air-conditioning is just a tiny bit cold for you? Feminists like you are DISGUSTING.

Confused, angry men who fear having to live in a society where their superiority is not automatically assured by their gender. Typically frequent forums and websites rife with misogyny where they claim that rape is a falsehood used to control men, that feminism is 'female supremacy' designed to hand the reins of power solely to women, and disregard women's rights issues, claiming that discrimination against women is a thing of the past.
MRAs - ALL of them, without exception - are living examples of confirmation bias, never venturing outside of their established groups, publications, forums, et al, thus surrounding themselves only with that which serves to affirm their existing beliefs.
Tend to subscribe to the belief that all feminists, worldwide, are exactly the same as that one stupid angry teen chick they saw on tumblr that one time.
As an MRA, I hate equality.
No really, I'm a rampant misogynist living in an idealised vision of the past

āMenās rights activistsā - a loosely organised internet collective consisting of insecure, privelidged white males, who didnāt receive enough hugs while growing up.
They will consistently (and predictably) cast the female gender as the cause of all their woes. Often using skewed logic or biased statistics to back up their claims.
Overwhelmingly lacking the ability to be introspective, they would rather blame an entire gender for their inability to befriend, date, have sex, coexist with women.
To these people, feminism is a social construct designed to repress and destroy their lives, and will often use a barrage of buzzwords learned from the most toxic places online.
Similar to the āincel movementā and similarly pathetic.
āListen to this MRA neck beard keyboard warrior, heās trying to blame an entire gender for his inability to get laid - what a fuckwitā

Message Response Anxiety
A form of anxiety triggered by by someone (the sender) having to wait a long time (5-7+ Hours) to receive a response to a text or DM. The person who received the original message (the recipient) is never at fault unless they consciously chose to view the message and consciously ignore it (a quick glance because of lack of time doesnāt count) however regardless of anything the sender does to fight the anxiety, the longer it takes to receive a response, the more anxiety, builds, ferments and rots away the senderās mental well-being as they begin to visualize increasingly worse scenarios pertaining to why they havenāt received a response
Person 1: Donny hasnāt responded to my invite yet. Itās been hours. Itās giving me serious MRA
Person 1: My Tinder match hasnāt responded to me since yesterday. Did they get bored with me or did I fuck it up
Person 2: Stop it. Thatās just your MRA talking
The sound you make when you're really full, but you still want pie.
"So full, but need pie! MRA MRA MRAAAAAH!"
