The Top 'Urban Dictionary' Definition of MRA is No Longer a Derisive Dismissal.

The best part is that this new definition makes all the other definitions below it look completely ridiculous and inflammatory to any casual reader

Well I hope y'all gave it an upvote...

"first they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.". I've seen the men's movement evolve substantially and I'd say there will be a day where it will be plain wrong to try and ridicule the movement.

That's awesome. I like the ratio of up and downvotes as well.

It's notable that on the first Urban Dictionary page there are seven definitions, including the now top one.

Of the six negative ones, four are from a single user. Unwilling to let their bias drip from a single post, they came back time and time again to retch vitriol and falsehoods. There's another on the second page, only pushed there because of the rising of the current top from who-knows-where up and pushing this users fifth vitriolic post into the second page.

Also note, this user hasn't been active since 2010, wrote 56 "definitions", and looking at the combined sum of all posts, appears to be Ides of idiotic fame as most professional of the professional victims.

Not such a bad definition, actually. I like the specific examples.

It's going to be a long slow uphill battle. But progress is being made. I just hope we break through before it's too late.

MonkeyCB · 2015-09-20T02:22:24+00:00

Until the next brigade.

Do they have no people scanning through this stuff for validity, or at least deleting utter nonsense? I mean, one of the first page ones is absolutely absurd.

Feminist scholars also have concluded that MRAs are actually crab people who intend to shove womin back into slavery (you might not notice too much of a difference), and then kill all the men and rule the earth themselves. It is thus suggested that you throw all MRAs on a grill and fry them to death. Do not eat them; the MRA carries many fatal illnesses such as stupid, herpes, and Feline AIDS (they are known to fuck their cats, just like New Agers!)

Really? And this person is saying MRAs have mental retardation earlier in their "definition".

Feminists argue that we live in a patriarchal society, and therefore men have male privilege, which is invisible to them. As a result, any issues men have are insignificant and are only a result of the massive privileges men have.

upvoted. It is clear, concise - but also pretty definitive.

Corn-Tortilla · 2015-09-20T05:05:35+00:00

Don't worry. Feminists will change it in the morning.

If you're taking Urban Dictionary seriously, you've really got a bigger problem than what definitions they use.

rg57 · 2015-09-20T13:03:14+00:00

How did this happen? Last time I checked (which was only months ago) reasonable definitions were downvoted to oblivion.

Even this one is good (for now):

AloysiusC · 2015-09-20T15:05:12+00:00

Yes and the other definitions have their downvotes catching up. A few years ago it was much more one-sided. Now they have downvotes of well above 50%.

morerokk · 2015-09-20T18:12:48+00:00

I love how all the other definitions were made by the same guy. He must have been really butthurt.

Let's add a rebuttal to the definition of feminist that takes up about 1/2 of the text.
