The PETA effect is when an individual or group of individuals rally for a cause that would have almost 100% support yet their toxic methodology causes so much hatred that their efforts actually become detrimental to their cause.
Did you see a female politician in Texas proposed a law to fine men $100 for masturbating as a way to show how absurd some proposed laws towards women are? If that is her attempt at strengthening women's rights it is going to have the PETA effect.

Get the The Ray-Ban Effect mug.This is the feeling you get when your around a person you are just starting to get to know on a deeper level. Its the warm fuzzies inside, the "everything is good with this person" feeling..and it makes you think of nothing else but that time right then and there. The honeymoon effect is something you want to last a long time..but your afraid that soon it will dissapear...which ushually it does, and subsides to a deeper and more knowledgable love of the other person. When the honeymoon effect is gone...it just gets started, and gets better!
My soon to be boyfriend told me "see..they call what we are experiencing the honeymoon effect"..and I think he was secretly wanting this feeling to last forever.
