Acronym for Mens' Rights Activist:
An angry male (typically White, straight, and single) who supports male chauvinism and misogyny under the guise of fighting for "mens' rights". MRAs have been closely tied with the broader alt-Right and White Supremacist movements.
Most MRAs are unable to face their own shortcomings and opt for scapegoating anyone who finds their archaic and oft-disturbing attitude towards women unacceptable; especially feminists (whom MRAs consider to be an existential threat to all men). This scapegoating most often occurs in the form of incoherent, misogynistic online rants containing liberal usage of the words “cuck” and “SJW”. Many extreme cases have been documented, however, in which groups of MRAs have resorted to cyberbullying, harassment, doxxing, and sending rape and death threats against anyone who challenges their views.
MRAs routinely deny the existence of sexism, and actually claim that it is men who are victims of oppression by women around the world. They and their supporters have been historically dismissive of issues highly-impacting women such as equal pay, sexual harassment, and assault. Some MRAs have even called for the legalization of rape.
