Male Exclusionary Radical Feminist. (Sometimes Radical is replaced by Realist), Acronym based on TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist). Lesbians who do not accept male allies in the fight against patriarchy. Feminist separatists. Lesbians who do not accept that trans-women (male to female) are women. Some users of the word MERF have a problem with TERF in that it excludes trans-men (women to men) who, according to gender critics, are still women. MERF only excludes trans women and all other men and so is preferred.
"We don't exclude trans people. We exclude males. We are inclusive of trans men since they are females. The correct terminology is MERF. Male exclusionary radical feminist. TERF is a slur because it isn't factual." - cbucksrules (from Twitter). October 2021.
"I am not a terf; trans are not the enemy. I am a merf - male exclusionary radical feminist" - sberesford4 (from Twitter). October 2021.

The orgin of merf came from a 25lbs siamese cat named Oba in 1989. This cat would make the sound when happy, sad, being lazy, or just walkng around.
The group of kids around Oba started to mimic the cat in saying merf and it spread from there as a nonsense word that can mean anything, yet nothing.

Male Exclusionary Radical Feminist
It's the type of radical feminist who thinks men are unable to sympathize with women's issues and/or grasp feminist theory. They, just like anti-feminists, agree that all male feminists are either sexual predators or just seeking approval.

Male Exclusionary Radical Feminist. The only true branch of feminism which focuses on the liberation of females from male oppression aka “The patriarchy” (I.e females rights to own body,men using their biological advantages against females to “keep her down”, etc ) They recognize that Only females can be feminist, males can only be allies.
TwitterNeckbeard: Shut up Terf!
Merf: Actually I’m A Male Exclusionary radical Feminist. I believe Mediocre males pretending to be extraordinary females is a mockery to sports.
