MRA

In discussions around gender politics, MRA is used to refer to "Men's Rights Activists" (and sometimes "Men's Rights Activism"). MRAs are often linked to the "manosphere," a network of online spaces that includes men's rights forums, pickup artist (PUA) communities, and red pill groups. While some in the movement raise valid concerns about issues men face, like mental health or family court bias, it's also been widely criticized for promoting misogyny, dismissing feminism, and encouraging toxic, us-vs-them views on gender.

"Magnetic Resonance Angiography" (MRA) is a relatively common, non-invasive imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels and assess blood flow. It is widely used to create detailed images of arteries and veins, helping to identify abnormalities like blockages, aneurysms, or other vascular issues.

As it is pronounced one letter at a time, MRA is classified as an initialism abbreviation. Initialisms are different to acronyms, which are abbreviations spoken as words.
