Reading this blog, you might get the impression that Men’s Rights activists lack a sense of humor. Not so! Some of them even make their own hilarious comics! I’d like to celebrate three of the finest MRA cartoons I’ve seen thus far in the first edition of what I’d like to call the MRA Comics Cavalcade. Click the thumbnails to go to the (full-sized) comics themselves.
In this edition of the popular The Pigman Cometh, the aforementioned Pigman, who has apparently killed a woman, dances with her corpse while spouting humorous remarks about how women and marriage suck. This comic is written by one dude, and drawn by another. Yes, it takes two people to produce masterpieces like this.Two separate people.
.
In this NSFW cartoon found on the blog Wimminz, two evil feminists talk evilly about divorce and park in a handicapped parking space. Just like real feminists would! And then a guy has sex with, apparently, some sex dolls?
.
And, finally, in this edition of plasticBrickAutomaton, an evil feminist door-to-door saleswoman tries to sell some dude a weird and incorrect caricature of postmodernism. The guy cleverly parries her attempts to indoctrinate him by attaching a baby to a balloon and letting it float away, to ultimately meet its demise. (One imagines.) This got more than 100 upvotes when it was posted to the Men’s Rights subreddit.
More MRA Comics Cavalcades to come!
The foreign bride. For once the archive binge worked!
MissPrism – Those links are AWESOME.
Especially the ones pointing out how the “Nice Guy” can’t even be a decent person in a fictional universe he created. You’d think that when you’re manipulating all the variables, you’d be able to come up with more convincing niceness than “really wants to rape a woman but probably doesn’t in the end.”
Oh my god, Fridge Horror: if his idea of niceness is not raping women, and he thinks women go for guys who aren’t nice…
oh my god
I had to look up Fridge Horror! Thanks, Holly, for the useful new vocab. It describes it perfectly.
Frankly, I think the toilet lid should be closed every time, in order to prevent shit-mist pollution after flushing and also to prevent small hands from putting things in there. My two-year-old loves to put things in the toilet–everything, that is, but what actually belongs there. So, yeah, I shut the lid, thereby pleasing no one.
I just assume the world is a giant cloud of poo-mist and my immune system and regular bathroom cleanings will deal with it. You can’t escape the poo-mist, might as well have convenience.
I did have a “lid down” policy when I lived in a house with a toilet-drinker dog, though.
Holly: Maybe he thinks that dicks are guys who don’t want to rape women for… some… reason…
I live alone, but I still keep the seat down, and usually I close the lid too. Then again, I’m also the type of person who alphabetizes his bookshelf, so.
Kids these days…in my day (circa 2003), “The Pigman” was an awesome, funny, and touching Paul Zindel book that they had us read in middle school. It also had a fairly enjoyable sequel, “The Pigman’s Legacy”. It saddens me greatly to see a such a wonderful book share its name with the literary/intellectual equivalent of a styrofoam packing peanut. Only much less entertaining. And possibly even worse for the environment.
P.S. The Animaniacs called. They want their Mr. Skullhead back.
I know the toilet seat topic has come up at least once before when MRAs brought it up, and it was boring then too.
Fixed the link to the third comic!
And thanks for the NiceGuy and the crimitism links. Obviously there is a vast world of terrible, terrible misogynistic comics out there that I have only begun to explore.
And on the toilet seat thing. Obviously the only correct solution is to put not just the seat but the lid down, so things don’t fall in.
“So, yeah, I shut the lid, thereby pleasing no one.”
I think you win.
“P.S. The Animaniacs called. They want their Mr. Skullhead back.”
Thank you! That was driving me crazy for ages!
I must say I did find the third comic kind of funny. Not because the author was successfully skewering their intended target, but because
a) “Shh, cisprivilege”
b) casually tying the baby to the balloon
But the rest of it was rather unfunny, although the “Post-MODERNISM!” frame was okay. The primary flaw of all of these comics is that their function is wish fulfillment for sexist idiots, less so in the case of the third but still there. Of course, misogynists will find them funny, which can be expected based on the superiority theory of humor, but that’s 99% of the guffaws they will get.
I’m adding “post-modernism” to the list of things MRAs don’t understand, right after “feminism” and “Marxism”
Holly Pervocracy: And when you compare that to Jeff’s two friends, who are supposed to be jerks because they leer at women, they don’t seem as bad as him after that comment.
Dave: Sadly, a good number of webcomics are like that…
-Shredded Moose: It thankfully ended, but women are either femnazis who look like Orcs (there is a moderately attractive straw feminist character) or something for the main character whack-off to. The main character has never met a woman who he doesn’t want to fondle or disrespect and even got a woman drunk enough so he could have sex with her prone body and toss her aside like a used Kleenx.
-Anything by Brooke McEldowney: Unless they are geezers, almost every woman Brooke writes is (or eventually becomes) an ultra-horny sex kitten. The creepy thing is the guys who get the most action look a lot like Brooke himself. One of the main characters, Edda, (a young ballerina) is based off his daughter who dates a guy who looks like a younger version of him.
-US Angel Corps: If you like scantly-clad, barely legal females getting mutilated in incredibly vile ways, then this is your comic.
I live alone, but I always keep the toilet lid down to keep the cat out of there. And so that if I’m reading in the bathtub and it’s time to wash my hair, I can set the book on the toilet lid.
My medicine/toothpaste/moisturizer cabinet is above the toilet. I prefer the lid down so that I don’t have to keep buying new products. after they fall in.
My pet peeve is there being extra toilet paper in the bathroom! Somehow, and I don’t want to know the details, my significant other managed to live for 3 months in an apartment with 3 guys, and zero toilet paper, since none of them were wiling to go buy it.
Yeah, the 3rd one could have gone somewhere funny.
Maybe if (after sending the baby off into space??) the guy ripped the woman’s face off and it turned out that underneath she was really just NWO all along.
That would explain a lot about it.
Dammit, why did I bother to learn how to draw?

I have met Brooke McEldowney and he looks like Thorax.
@belledame222:
The author of the article on Something Awful describes the Pig-whatever as a “liberal” because that’s how the author of the webcomic describes himself (seriously.) Go to the website and read a few of the comics; he obviously thinks he’s a hardcore, badass liberal, all peeing on Ronald Reagan’s grave and laughing when god dies (?????)
He really wants people to know how hardcore he is. Like, seriously. He will fuck your shit up if you troll on his website. With guns. And not just his theez gunz, but real guns. With bullets.
Have they developed the technology to shoot people through the internet? Was that something Apple created?
Shaenon: So he pretty much has four author-avatars: Thorax and the three guys who look a little too much alike without being related and have the same hairdo, glasses and long horse faces (Amos, Geof and Juliette’s husband.)
I am really DYING to know what the author of this comment thinks “cis” means.
MRAs seem overly fond of shouting, “Feminist-Marxism!” without any real explanation. Dare I even ask what the thought process behind creating that term is?
