Over on A Voice for Men, the regulars are trying to figure out the best way to defeat the feminist menace. One commenter, Raven01, has a ingenious suggestion: t-shirts with weird, crude sexual messages!
I’m sure that’ll do it, fellas. Good work!
Fellas who want to get the attention of the very women that Mr. Raven01 wants to repel might consider picking up a t-shirt on the Man Boobz Zazzle store. 1Also suitable for women and genderqueer folks of the feminist persuasion.
Just one quick question: What’s an “innie plumb?” I can only assume this is some sort of reference to a
LOL at the bikini inspector video! Yeah, that’s what the Big Johnson shirts were like. And this guy would say “Get it? Liquor, as in lick her, up front? Poker, as in poke her in the back?” Um, yeah, dude, I get it. The innuendo wasn’t exactly subtle.
Ozy and Nanasha – It’s one of the deepest secrets of Vaginamancy that men who stop when they hear “ow” actually have more sex, because
(conspiratorial whisper)
your partners will come back.
Nanasha: That’s different than what I was talking about… I’ve had experiences with guys who would make such a fuss when I said that something didn’t feel good that after a certain point I just shut up and let them do what they wanted and hoped they managed to hit on something I found enjoyable.
Actually your story sounds kind of sweet. :3
Actually, what I think they’d create is a woman who snaps a photo of it with her cellphone, posts it to her Facebook account, EPICWTF.com, and forwards it to all her friends and then all of them laugh their asses off.
I was in high school when those were popular. On any given day at band camp, there’d be at least one Big Johnson shirt.
I thought the humor was kind of young for people who, on average, were legal to drive.
Didn’t piss me off half as much as the guy who used to wear Jesus t-shirts day in, day out, though.
@Ozy- Yeah, I’ve had experiences with those guys too- and it always ended with me eventually getting pissed off enough to basically just drop their asses because I hate that kind of passive aggressive shit.
I kinda meant the story to explain the only kind of “upset man” thing that I’m willing to deal with in regards to me expressing discomfort and pain during sex is the way that my husband sometimes does it- it’s coming from an honest place and he’s not just sulking so I’ll shut up and do what he says.
And yeah, my husband is as sweet as they come, but most people didn’t think so on account of him being all huge and tall with a full head of curly black hair and serious quiet demeanor and wearing all black and enjoying heavy metal. He’s like a big ol’ bear, and if you were to see him with our daughter, it’s enough to make even the coldest heart melt. 🙂
Nanasha: D’awwwwwww. There’s nothing better than big tough guys with small children. It makes my heart melt.
Besides, why would a T-shirt or social pressure control what we would do in the privacy of the voting booth if it was something we really cared about?
Not entirely OT, and apologies if everybody else in the world already read it (I’m new to cracked.com):

Not lame. Not PhD material, but still interesting.
If those t-shirts start showing up I swear I will buy a bunch of travel-sized hand lotions and give them out to the men wearing them, saying, “You’ll need this,” just for the lulz.
That was good, Freitag! Thanks.
@ scarlettpipistrelle I suspect MRA’s are unable to imagine what it would be like to *care* about anything besides getting laid. Therefore, they believe the rest of the world must be exactly like them.
@speedlines: yes, they can’t get past their imaginary mental constructs of us. There’s no use doing anything but mocking them (as we do here), unless it’s calling the cops on them.
I saw a shirt on the bus once… had an image of a woman pole-dancing, and the slogan, “support single mothers”.
I figured he was making sure the women on that bus knew to avoid him.
Are there shirts out there with humorous feminist slogans, I need to update my wardrobe like nobody’s business.
@aworldanonymous
I’ve seen “What Would Valerie Solanas Do?” over a pair of scissors, but that’s pretty on the nose too…
@aworldanonymous – My mom got her masters degree when I was in middle school, and she joined the campus chapter of NOW, and I bought so much stuff from their catalog. I still have my Thelma and Louise Finishing School Graduate t-shirt, but it is sadly worn and faded. Their on-line store is down now, so I don’t know what kinds of stuff they sell these days.
@aworldanonymous, Why, look no further for your femi-wardrobe needs… 🙂
Seriously, we should design some more. And by “we,” I mean manboobzers who have some talent for this sort of thing.
“…no amount of male domination will ever be enough, why no level of control or privilege or female submission will ever satisfy us. We can put you under a burqa, we can force you out of the workplace — it won’t matter. You’re still all we think about, and that gives you power over us. And we resent you for it”
Uh… ouch. That’s not fucking fair at all
I completely endorse these shirts. They should be mandatory. Every MRA should have to wear them at all times to prove his bona fides. It would make life so much easier.
See this tactic would be great: It would be marvelous to be able to see who is an MRA right away. From their point of view this wouldn’t really work though: I’m bisexual.
Oh wow, I didn’t even know about those shirts! I love the one with the cupcake!
I
The cupcake was drawn by noted cartoonist Shaenon K. Garrity!

Everyone should buy Man Boobz tshirts and other swag!
Another one bites the dust. http://whatmenthinkofwomen.blogspot.com/
It sort of bothers me that the only negative consequence anyone is talking about for these shirts is not getting laid.
Not that I think there should be other consequences! Just that I can’t imagine a woman going out in a viciously anti-male shirt and not worrying about harassment and physical safety.
