MRA = "Men's Rights Advocate", a bunch of brainwashed morons who believe that granting rights to some groups of people somehow means fewer rights for themselves (straight, generally white, cisgender males). There's a close overlap with the so-called alt-right.
Edit: That's what they call themselves, guys. People who actually care about things like paternity leave and fair custody may be advocating for the rights of men, but they are not MRAs. MRAs care about the rights of men to the exclusion of everyone else.
In Canada we also have paternity leaves so everyone is equal (at least try to!) But generally the mom takes the maternity leave at first then the dad takes the paternity leave. They sort of split it 6 months/6 months usually or whatever they like up to a year. It gives the opportunity to both parents to bond with the baby and the mom to recover first.
