Honey badger (men's rights)

A honey badger, or less often FeMRA (female men's rights activist), is a term for a woman who publicly advocates for men's rights, particularly one who also criticizes feminism. They are seen as important to providing breadth and legitimacy to the men's rights movement, as men may be more easily criticized as advocating only for their own interests.

The term "Honey Badgers" in this sense was coined by the curators of the men's rights website A Voice for Men, after a YouTube video about a small carnivore, the honey badger, known for being indomitable, went viral. The nickname has been adopted by some women, most notably an online collective known as the Honey Badger Brigade.
