It’s hard to parody Men’s Rights Activists, because no matter how ridiculous your parody is, there’s a good chance that some MRA out there has already said, or written, or sung, something even more ridiculous already.
Not that long ago, a bunch of Man Boobz regulars set out to parody the bizarre, and often inadvertently surrealistic, posters that have been popping up on MRA sites like A Voice for Men and Artistry Against Misandry. It was hard, but I think some of us managed to come up with posters that were even uglier and less coherent than the originals. I especially liked these two, from (respectively) Cliff Pervocracy and Sir Bodsworth Rugglesby III.
But alas, we have been outmaneuvered by the all-too-serious poster-makers on A Voice for Men, who have managed to produce posters that make even less sense than our silliest parodies. Take a look at this one, which I believe is the work of an Australian MRA by the name of Roger O. Thornhill.
I mean, really. How can we compete with that?
This is an actual poster that some MRAs think will actually win people over to their cause. How, I’m not exactly sure. What exactly about a cupcake with a tiara is supposed to scream “men’s rights” to random pedestrians who might catch a glimpse of this poster wheatpasted to a hoarding while on their way to work?
For more of Roger’s fine work, see here and here.
Man Boobzers, can you do better?
Or, if you’re not up to that Herculean task, could you at least try to explain just what exactly you think Mr. Thornhill was trying to say with that poster of his?
EDITED TO ADD: I have been asked to contribute a poster myself. So here one is. You can find many more hilarious and incredibly ugly posters at ArtistryForFeminismAndKittens and, of course, in the comments below!
Steele has to be taking the piss. There’s no way someone can consistently write that badly unless they’re doing it on purpose.
Snortle uses Libel!
It’s not very effective…
Moonz, you run a website devoted to denialism, specifically, misandry denialism; I do not know why in God’s Green Earth you think we would get along.
Says, you know and for once, I’m going to address this “bad writing” charge. Yes I fully admit, I don’t pore over my posts, looking for looking grammatical errors or to show off my “smartness”; I get my point across and hit submit. I’m a busy man; I can hardly fit in lunch, much less spending hours crafting masteries of grammaticality. Unlike you perpetual losers.
Says, I’d recommend you try it.

We would get along because I adore you 🙂

You’re welcome.
I don’t think it can count as libel in the law even if you do make false statements about some anonymous troll on the internet.
Here, let’s give it a go:
I have it on good authority that Torvus Butthorn steals hot buttered hamsters out of the mouths of starving Irish babies and feeds them the pit bulls he uses in his dog fighting enterprise.
So sue me, Butthorn.
You think that not writing the way you do takes effort for most people? LOL.
GRAMMAR IS FOR LOSERS!
“Grammaticality.”
Not just “gramaticality”, “masteries of gramaticality”.
Like I said – he has to be taking the piss, right?
If he’s taking the piss, he’s putting a ton of work into it.

This one is inspired by both steele and firstjoe.
Kendra, I love your posters because they all have that blank space at the bottom, like someone got halfway done and didn’t know what to put in the rest of the space.
He’s putting so much work into it. Remember when we all tried to write like him? It takes real effort to fuck up that badly.
I’m sorry? “Grammaticality” is a word. As they say in the ‘burbs, “read it and weep”:

*snort* Look, Says, your attempts to imply that I don’t have a life are undermined by the fact that you and the rest of Boobzland appear to spend every waking moment serving your Fuhrer. I post quickly, and efficiently. There are typos; issues of grammaticality; I couldn’t give a crap.
Oh, so your reading comprehension is as bad as your writing? That must suck.
And Moonz, again, I have no desire to be “buddy-buddy” with a misandry denier; I’m sorry, but it’s the principle of the thing. My politics come first.
Says, I’d recommend that you stop trolling and speaking in riddles; say what you need to say. I’m aware that’s difficult for a staunch M-feminist, because you’re so used to the Funhouse – smoke and mirrors, distorts and exaggerations, lies and falsehoods – that the truth, pure hard logic, can seem unfamiliar, frightening. But nonetheless.
What if I told you I was willing to reconsider my position on Misandry? Could we be friends then?
I mean, I like to think I’m a rational person. I can change my views if logical arguments are presented.
Steele, oh Steele, you are not writing an article for a theoretical linguistics journal. (Snortle.) Grammaticality would be appropriate there.

LMAO! Where did you get the hamster with the power drill?
