Showing Original Post only (View all)A Glossary of MRAs feel free to add [View all]
MRA - Mens Rights Activist. Can include all of the current mysogynist/rape enabling culture but at its least offensive just mean men who feel hard done by because women are fighting back against rape, coercion, underpayment, business discrimination and laws that restrict womens freedom. These men believe that women are now protected by a misanthropic the legal system (I face palmed as I wrote this sentence). These MRAs are, essentially, whiners who want to go back to the good old days of the 1950s when pipe smoking real men with ties protected the little woman from all harm, could give any girl a friendly slap on the bum and men were not emasculated by the culture.There are a few women who support this load of
Red Pill Redditors - MRAs with leet computing skillz, they believe they have taken the red pill of the Matrix and can see through to a reality where women are the dominant force in the real world. They tend to be much younger than the general MRA crowd - but also much nastier. It is these little boys who organise with 4-Chan to spam, troll and dox women who have offended them, perhaps for terrible crimes like blogging about how women would rather not be trapped by unknown men in a lift in the small hours of the morning and him wanting to go back the woman's room for coffee.
It is unknown how many of these guys long for some large Laurence Fishburne or muscular Carrie-Anne Moss to come along and take them under the wings of a leather trench coat before whisking them away to a small dirty room where wonderful things can happen.
Incels - The most pitiful of the MRAs, Involuntary Celibates. They bewail the fact they lack the social skills to approach women, talk to them, share normal life and then, maybe, investigate the idea that the relationship might become sexual. In the mind of the incel they are the only guys in the world, over the age of 10, who have not had sex. As far as I can gather they seem to approach women and ask for a pity fuck straight out.
There is a (very) faint chance that these boys might grow to be emotionally mature before the age of 70, get a spine and become useful members of society.
PUAs - Pick-Up artists. If Incels are spineless worms PUAs are peleagic ooze - slime. They believe that date rape, coerced sex and intoxication rape are consensual acts which they are entitled to perform. The less said about these predators the better, they are not funny.
