MRAs: More Radical Misogyny?
Article here. Excerpt:
'Gender equality, now wouldn’t that be a fine thing? Well that’s what feminists for the past two centuries have been saying. Women across the world have been protesting, demonstrating, shouting and striking in the name of gender equality, but apparently we’ve been doing a rather bad job of it.
That is, if you agree with the views put forward by the Men’s Rights Activists. The movement that first emerged in the 1960s has recently had a global resurgence and now enjoys a growing internet presence, too. When a University of Warwick Men’s Rights group was recently established on Facebook, feminists and anti-sexists on campus instantly opposed the idea. So what exactly is the Men’s Rights Activism movement, and what does is mean for gender equality in 2013?
...
Great, so Men’s Rights Activists are working with feminists to address these issues for the betterment of society, right? Wrong. That is exactly what Men’s Rights Activists (or MRAs) are not doing. In fact, the label “Men’s Rights Activists” is about as far removed from the truth as it is possible to be. They’d be better off branding themselves “Feminist Baiters of the World” or “Misogynistic Pigs United” because at least then we’d have a clear idea of the mind-set of these activists.'

"Misogynistic Pigs United"
LMAO!! Sounds like a UK football team name, doesn't it?
It's too good. Maybe it needs to be on T-shirts.
