Well, my fellow feminists, we might as well pack it in. For the forces arrayed against us have a devastating, nay brutal, new slogan.
The Counter-Feminist Agent of Change (CFAC) who calls himself Fidelbogen explained in a recent post how this “wicked new slogan” came to him. Also, what the slogan is:
This occurred to me in a flash of inspiration today. I grabbed the first scrap of paper I could find and jotted it down:
Feminism spreads lies like a fly spreads germs.
You like it? I thought you would.
So . . . spread it around, and make it part of the “buzz”!
Get it? Buzz. Like, “buzz” means “what people are excitedly talking about.” But it is also the sound that a fly makes.
See, Fidelbogen is working with TWO DIFFERENT MEANINGS at once. It’s like juggling two things at once, only with your brain. No wonder some MRAs regard his as the finest mind in the Men’s Rights movement today.
Several days after The Bogen (that’s what I like to call him) came up with this masterful slogan, one artistically minded MRA took it to a whole nother level – by using the slogan in the graphic above.
As The Bogen explained in his second post about his new slogan:
Memes can take many forms, and what you see here is among the most elemental and effective of those forms.
I am posting this graphic image for anybody on the planet who wants to fly away with it and spread it around.
First with the “buzz” thing, and now “fly away with it.” LIKE FLIES DO! The man is a genius.
Hell man, you could even print it on T-shirts and coffee mugs. Certainly you can post it on your website. Best of all, you can print it on little squares of paper and leave these in all manner of places where all manner of people will happen upon them.
Oh shit. T-shirts? Mugs? Motherfucking SQUARES OF PAPER?! He’s going CROSS-PLATFORM!
This is the sort of thing that will land in people’s brains, and buzz around there, and never leave!
I explained the buzz thing already, didn’t I?
It will find its way into the general buzz of conversation, too!
Just in case you’ve forgotten. Buzz = what people are talking about. ALSO THE SOUND FLIES MAKE.
I still cannot get over how much of a genius move that whole “buzz” thing is. I don’t know how he does it.
I kindly thank St. Estephe, the blog keeper who created this. I am honored to see my words so skillfully combined with pictures, and made ten times more effective by that method.
It’s true. It takes a tremendous amount of skill to find a picture of a fly, and then to put words next to it.
How can we possibly compete with this?
I tried to come up with some slogans of my own. But the best I could do was this:
I hope you guys have some better ideas.
Try QuickMeme if you want to make a little graphic. I’ll post any especially good ones here!
EDITED TO ADD: Some more graphics that are Fidelbogenesque in their brilliance. One from Scar, one from me.
Nephrite, on the other hand, does ALL THE REAL WORK ALL THE TIME. So much work that even though he’s completely exhausted, he still puts forth the effort to scream at women on the Internet.
WHAT A HERO
I spent all day today working in the ER. I made a splint for a woman with a broken ankle. I did EKGs and blood draws on a man having heart problems. I took a child who’d had a seizure to get a CAT scan. I lifted people who couldn’t walk and I let people who could barely walk lean on me. I helped a doctor drain an infected knee. (Ew.) I taught a man how to walk on crutches. I cleaned and bandaged the wounds of a man who’d been in a car accident with no seatbelt.
What’d you do today?
“Billions of men, why animal test?” is not actually a feminist slogan, btw.
@Ozyman
Feminism has controlled the social, cultural and legal framework of America for 40 years. Any “cultural notions” that harm men are either because feminists want them there, or don’t care enough to get rid of them.
@Nephrite: I never said I was whining about it. I like working. Where did I mention any whining. And spell my name right for god sake.
Oh, misread the dimwit’s slogan entirely. That’s… even more lame. XD
BAHAHAHAHAHA.
I really wish I could live in this world, you know. The one where feminism is the dominant ideology, women don’t have to work, and rape never occurs? It sounds fucking awesome.

Called boredom, honey.
Behold, the perils men face providing for us.
Okay, so riddle me this: why haven’t you had a female president then?
Should be a cakewalk to get one elected under such a framework, no?
“Called boredom, honey.”
Congratulations! Your new nickname is sugar booger.
I really wish I could live in this world, you know. The one where feminism is the dominant ideology, women don’t have to work, and rape never occurs? It sounds fucking awesome.
So you admit that such a society WOULD be your ideal?
Asshat: Let’s talk about hard work, shall we? MrB and I spent two years as full-time, live-in caretakers for my grandmother. She had Alzheimer’s, mobility issues, and a truly disgusting skin condition caused by pernicious anemia. We were on call 24/7. We did everything – laundry, shopping, wound care, and, as she got worse, the fun stuff like changing diapers and making sure she didn’t get bedsores. We worked our asses off. Want to tell me I’m a lazy feminist?
Complains that women and feminists don’t care about men, responds by calling women lazy pampered bitches.
I do care about men, just not the ones who call me a lazy pampered bitch. Why should I even consider the words of someone who thinks that of me? why should I assume he’s being genuine or not telling me lies? On top of that, why is it when its sexist towards women, we’re told we’re too sensitive, but when its sexist towards men, oh noes! national crisis!
*yawns* this troll was fun the first time round, now he’s boring.
So you admit that such a world doesn’t exist.
*Smirk*
The only way that rape could never occur is that if you put all men in concentration camps, since according to feminism, any man could be a rapist, so how could you prevent it unless you just judged us all as rapists?
I hope I never get injured in the hospital where you pretend to work.
So you admit that such a world doesn’t exist.
It exists all right. I’m just making sure she does support it because, as I’ve already proven, feminists lie and lie about what they actually believe.
Try to keep up.
“I hope I never get injured in the hospital where you pretend to work.”
I bet you’re fat.
In my ideal society, NO ONE has to work unless they want to! Also there are no diseases, people send baskets of kittens to those who are feeling down, and comic conventions are free!
How many points do I receive?
I bet you’re fat.
Ad hominem. I shouldn’t have expected more from a feminist.
@Lauralot: Oh like 5 million. Plus one internet. And a basket of kittens.
Sugar booger, don’t you like your new nickname? Why haven’t you responded?
Would you prefer Wubsy the Snow Kitten?
“Ad hominem. I shouldn’t have expected more from a feminist.”
Oh. I thought we were just making wild assumptions about each other here.
Man, Asshat, your head must be like a TARDIS full of misinformation, lies and stupidity.
*yawns* this troll was fun the first time round, now he’s boring.
Sorry, not hear to entertain you. You’re here to entertain me. I’ve noticed nobody’s managed to refute that feminism HAS lied about domestic violence statistics. That feminism HAS lied about men not being raped. This very site dismissed a male rape victim and called him a liar.
But no, let’s ignore the message and shoot the messenger. How very feminist.
