MRA in India

At present, India is the undoubted global hotspot for pro-male activism. The front page of a major daily newspaper, shown here, will convey the flavor of it. (Click to enlarge). We should remind ourselves, every chance we get, that the femplex octopus spans the globe with its tentacles, and that forces are mobilizing in paralell to metaphorically  pile up embers and scorch with hot iron where necessary.

The Pune Mirror article in question is online, for your reading pleasure, here:

I find it interesting that the acronym "MRA" stands for a real-life, brick-and-mortar Indian activist group -- the Men's Rights Association. I am not, personally, a member of that group -- although I wonder if they would accept me as an honorary, overseas correspondent member.  Nor, as is known, do I employ the term "MRA" for a self-appellative. (I prefer the unassuming, teflon-coated term "non-feminist".

By the way, I think the headline was meant to read as "safe HAVEN" rather than "safe heaven".  ;-)
