Over on the Men’s Rights subreddit, a bunch of the locals are doing a little brainstorming, hoping to come up with a pithy slogan or two for posters that will allow them to better sell their alleged movement to the misandrist masses.
The results so far are, well, intriguing. The front-runner, so far, is this highly upvoted one from deluks917, though as you can see it has received some criticism:
Chernab0g’s contribution is short and to the point:
This one from unexpecteditem is a bit perplexing:
And this one from The_Real_Johnny_Utah is, if anything, even more unexpected than the one from unexpecteditem:
SuicideBanana seems to have a little trouble with his pith. Also, “huh?” Cthulufunk tries his best to play the race card, but unfortunately does not seem to be playing with a full deck:
Neofool’s slogan seems a bit defensive:
Oddly, none of them mentioned the “wicked new slogan” that Counter-Feminist Philosopher King Fidelbogen unveiled earlier this year: “Feminism spreads lies like a fly spreads germs.”
It’s frankly quite bizarre that MRAs haven’t SWARMED (get it? get it?) around this slogan yet. Not only is it clearly the greatest slogan since “The Best Part of Waking Up is Folgers in Your Cup,” but it also comes with a little graphic (see here on the right) that someone made for Mr. Bogen.
And no, despite its endearing amateurness it wasn’t put together as a joke by anyone here.
As wonderful as all these slogans are I think we can do a better job than the Reddit MRAs; after all, most of us know a lot more about the MRA than do most MRAs themselves. So have at it!
Oh, and speaking of posters, these have been going up recently in Vancouver. The r/MRer’s aren’t happy about it.

Yep. I also tried to make little sculptures out of it by pouring it out on paper.
While they’re on the subject of “sexual equality” and making sure that men can get laid as easily as women (supposedly) can, I wonder how they’d feel about mandating that the only kind of sex you’re allowed to have on a first date or one-night stand is the kind that will give your partner an orgasm, but not you? Then they’ll REALLY be on equal sexual footing with women.
Or at least, the women who can’t or frequently don’t orgasm from vaginal stimulation, who compose the majority, IIRC. There might be a clause in that mandate somewhere that up to a third of all sexual acts can be male-orgasm-oriented… as long as their female partners agree to it and don’t get bored and stop, or say things like “My hand’s getting tired, let’s do something else” or “Ew, put my mouth THERE?” or “I don’t think inanimate objects belong in sex,” etc.
Or maybe the best kind of sexual equality is the kind where everyone gets to decide what they want to do for themselves, and only once both parties are ok with a particular act will it be allowed to occur? Yeah, I think that rule’s probably the easiest to remember.
If women get the freedom to do whatever they want, then men have the freedom to fuck whoever they want. EOD.
… my brain died a little. Essentially, if women don’t want to be slaves to men, they better… get used to being slaves to men.

And now that some of us are adults, we’re having too much fun using Daiso nose pack. 😛
Oh, we’re admitting that we never really outgrew the desire to play with oddly textured stuff? Cool.
I really hope the ‘Men’s Rights is the radical notion women are adults’ poster gets hung up to the ‘When I was a boy women loved, adored, and took care of me- what happened?’ poster.
Did the glue-on-hand trick so often in Kindergarten that my teacher made me use a glue stick instead of liquid glue to make me stop. I probably wasted close to half a bottle over the course of the school year. I tried to cover my entire hand and peel it all off without ripping it, but it never worked.
Good god I had a disturbing thought- no one has told these dudes about the vagina monologues have they?
Awesome, I’m so glad I’m not alone in my love for odd textured squishy stuff. That nose pack looks like fun, but doesn’t look like it’s available in the US. Peel off face masks are the best.
Fembot, that makes sense. It’s basically like their framing of a lot of other issues. They start with something that has a kernel of truth in it (stupid dating expectations, toxic masculinity, male victims of domestic violence or sexual assault, etc) but then what they propose to do about makes me think “OMG that’s not the way to fix it what’s wrong with you?!”
Some of their issues don’t even really have that kernel. Some guys can’t get laid. Well guess what, some women can’t get laid, and other people having the freedom to decide what they do with their own bodies is not a problem.
This would make a lot more sense if people kept picture ID’s and credit cards in their vaginas.
Also, P.S. Women also carry wallets.
LIES, MISANDROUS LIES!
I have a billfold in my purse. I think it’s more functional than a pocketbook.
I’m sorry, but I flat out refuse to carry my wallet. He’s simply too large for that.
@thebionicmommy
You mean you don’t keep your photo ID and credit cards in your vagina? Where do you keep them, your cleavage?
I have probably given their slogan more thought than it deserves, but my guess is that it means if the MRAs are given as much control over womens bodies as they imagine that women have over mens bodies social equality will erupt all over.
I once heard that candlewax was a favorite for guys who would shape it very long and thin and then insert it into the urethra, and apparently when masturbating, this would lead to intense sensation and amazing orgasms. Unfortunately, the wax would often break and get caught in the urethra, which was intensely painful.
And as far as I’m concerned, men already DO have sexual equality. They have equal rights to other people’s bodies/violating other people’s bodily integrity, which is ZERO. The good news? No one has rights to violate THEIR bodily integrity.
Why is it so hard for them to imagine sex where everyone is happy about the sex?
Oh….
Right.
🙁
And this, children, is why we buy well made toys at reputable establishments, because however embarrassing it might be to go in and purchase a sounding rod with electroshock feature from the scary bearded man behind the counter, it is infinitely worse to have your homemade thing break and have to go to the emergency room to have it retrieved and the damage repaired. The ER doc will not believe your “I was climbing a ladder and fell” story.
In both cases, severe halitosis is usually to blame. Listerine won’t treat it; only shotgun mouthwash will suffice.
This is exactly what I told a friend once about his homemade devices. He did go talk to the scary bearded man and was MUCH happier.
Slogan for MRA poster:
[BONERS]
[ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE ANNOUNCER VOICE]
Will the MRAs have their weird, circle jerk debate, or will it simply be another non-event that is talked about for years as though it actually happened?
STAY TUNED FOR NEXT TIME IN-
“Those Ladeeez DRIVE my BONERZ.”
or
“Too many dicks on the showroom floor”
(Apropo since it’s in a car dealership?)
XD
LOL!
I wish I could keep my ID and credit cards in my vagina, but if I did that, where would I put my car keys?
(Random potential customer walks in) : So, I’m here about the used Honda Civic that you posted on craiglist.
Host : DO YOU AGREE THAT FEMINISM HAS GONE TOO FAR?
Random customer : Huh? Look, I just want to look at the car.
Assembled MRAs : So you don’t care about how feminism is destroying the lives of men like you? Mangina traitor!
Owner : That will be $100, please. It’s our policy to charge all customers a fee just for walking in the door. It’s refundable if you end up buying one of our fine selection of lemons.
