Damnedest thing, I never thought the subject of my MRA would come up, but here's what it looks like. It's my right arm too.. You wouldn't believe how many girls believe that it stands for My Right Arm. :think:

Had to look up what MRA meant at the Urban Dictionary.

Based on the definitions I saw, there must be either a ton of butthurt women, or they must be completely ignorant of how bad it is for men out there.

tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. -Plato

For the lazy: MRA = Men's Rights Activist.
A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

Thanks.  I read the article and still didn't know what it was, so I followed the thread advice and looked it up in the urban dictionary, and still didn't know what it was.  Finally, I just shrugged it off.  I guess I have a limited tolerance for the use of obscure acronyms in writing.  Usually, an acronym of this nature, will be identified at least once near the beginning of the average article.  You may have to reread to find it, but it's usually there.  If it's not, I assume the writer doesn't care if his audience understands what he's talking about.  And if he doesn't care, why the Hell should I?

WTF?  I can't quite imagine the white men of America banding together to demand the vote and request service at Woolworth's lunch counters.

In this neighborhood, the only way you can get white men to band together is football. Or barbecue.

I think it's primarily guys who have to pay child support and don't like it. (boohoo) But like my dad told me and I told my son,  "Watch where you stick your dick boy. Penicillin doesn't cure babies."

I take it you didn't follow his advice. My dad said to me: "woman, you can't live with them, and you can't live without them, so fuck them!" Solitary

I never got hung with child support payments. I raised my kids. I never said I didn't do my share of fucking, but I didn't fuck to many snakes with tits either.

At times like this I remember some information imparted to me by a crusty old chief petty officer shortly after I joined the Navy.

"Son, remember one thing, women just don't think like people."
