Men's Rights Activist (MRA)

Men's Rights Activists or MRAs are a subset of extremist misogynist culture that thrives in the online "manosphere." The movement initially emerged as a reaction to second-wave feminism and the belief that men are being victimized by employment and family law, among other things. In recent years MRAs have adopted a victimhood mentality similar to incels and have committed targeted attacks. In June 2020, Roy Den Hollander, a self-described "anti-feminist lawyer" and MRA, carried out a fatal shooting at a New Jersey federal judge"s home before killing himself.
