“On the websites we examined, it was very often feMRAs – female men’s rights activists – who were the strongest critics of rape culture, with activists like⟳ Straughan (2013), Fiamengo (2014) and Barbara Kay (2014a, 2014b) taking the lead⟳ in contesting feminist arguments.”

“Lauren discusses these issues with FeMRAs – female men's rights activists – something that seems like⟳ a completely foreign concept in a book about saving feminism.”

“At the same time, ‘good’ women who actively participate⟳ in MRGs (‘feMRAs’, or female men’s rights activists) are (a) held up as evidence that men’s rights activism is not anti-women and (b) enrolled to ‘legitimize claims that would likely be viewed as being clearly more offensive if put⟳ forward⟳ by men’ (Gotell and Dutton 2016: 74).”
