MRAs, MGTOWs, PUAs, Nice Guys/Incels/AFCs, Gender "Egalitarians" etc.[edit]

The hell is half of that supposed to mean? Surely someone can reduce that to a short, useful heading. —Kazitor, pending 20:57, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

How about "Manosphere"? CowHouse (talk) 03:18, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
@CowHouse like I said I have no idea what half of those terms mean. But from what I do recognise, that would seem to be an appropriate label. —Kazitor, pending 03:42, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
@Kazitor The only one I'm unsure about is gender "egalitarians". MRA = men's rights activist. MGTOW = men going their own way. PUA = pickup artist. Incel = involuntarily celibate. AFC = average frustrated chump. CowHouse (talk) 03:55, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
"Gender 'egalitarians'" are the MRAs who hide themselves behind the "egalitarian" label to say, "Look at me, I'm in favor of equality!" instead of just outright saying they care more about men's rights than women's. Σπριγγίνα (ομιλία) (συνεισφορές) @ 04:10, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
@CowHouse and Spriggina I changed it. —Kazitor, pending 04:46, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
So did I. Your section heading was too specific. For instance, PUAs aren't really men's rights activists at all. CowHouse (talk) 04:55, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
