    I am sure the comments on this meme community post in a niche social media site will not be filled with butthurt men’s rights activists.

      You could have at least used the term “misogynist” so as to not imply that men’s rights are a bad thing.

        Hey, we found one!

        Not seriously, “men’s rights activists” are a specific group of people that only exist to complain about and hate women. They don’t care about men’s rights, they are anti-feminists.

        If you genuinely didn’t know this, then I’d love to know what Internet rock You’ve been hiding under. If you’re trying to concern troll, fuck off, MRAs are fucking scum.

        -signed, a man.

          I’ve definitely heard of misogynists, and of misogynists disguising themselves as legitimate men’s advocates, but I’d never heard of “men’s rights activists” as a specific group of misogynists before this.

          Without this explanation, had someone said “men’s rights activists are misogynists,” I would have thought they were a misandrist, because it sounds like a general descriptor and not a specific group.

          So what do you call it when someone who’s not a misogynist advocates for equal treatment in the areas where men get the short end of the stick?
