MRA is important and it definitely serves a valid purpose. However, all we actually are is pro equality. The reason that we call ourselves MRA is because we understand that males face more discrimination and lack many of the rights that women have.

For example, the right to vote (military draft laws), the right to not be forcibly mutilated (circumcision laws), the right to equal prison sentences / belief as a victim of abuse (Duluth model, UK courts bias, India courts bias, domestic violence laws in spain, infanticide laws in Australia, Canada, and Argentina) right to privacy (male only groups, schools and work places no longer exist. This is only a problem if female only spaces are allowed. I say both should be allowed but that's an irrelevant opinion, equality is the aim regardless of which direction it goes to be achieved) the right to equal support (domestic violence shelters).

We all know the issues involved. Its rather clear however on this sub that all we want is equality. As we all know feminism is often falsely associated with equality. MRA is the true equality movement.

I propose a new movement ERA / ERM (Equal Rights Activists / Movement).

I advise that someone makes a new sub called ERM and links it to this sub. We should all be active in both subs. This sub can be a clear, all inclusive stand for equality. Gender or race is separate from the title.

MRA is already ERM anyway. However if we create a new sub called ERM then I feel that it would make our position far more clear. Anyone that supports true equality can then become an ERA.

This movement would grow very quickly IMO and people who are confused about feminism, labelling themselves as one as they are confused by the definition of equality should wake up to this. If we have a feminist arguing with an MRA at the minute it looks like a gender argument to an outsider, however they will see if for what it is if a feminist is arguing with an ERA. A feminist arguing against equality. That is already the case now. I feel that a new movement / title to add to our current one will help the cause.

I support all human rights. I do not support feminism because it does not support me.

ERM would support everyone's equality. This would be clear in the title.

If anyone is interested in creating a new sub with this title, please post a link in the comments and I will add it to this post (with an edit) I will be the first to join.

MRA is important and serves a valid purpose, however I think we should have a ERM linked to MRM to show the true nature of MRM to an outsider more clearly.
