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!
(thebionicmommy is cracking me up.)
Does a straightforward statement count as a riddle if the person making the statement knows that they’re talking to an imbecile?
Thank you. I’m having fun with this. I can’t get mine to look as half assed as the real ones, though, no matter how hard I try.
But nonetheless what, Steele? BUT NONETHELESS WHAT? Sweet baby Jesus don’t keep us hanging like this.

So Steelpole can’t be assed to write intelligibly, even on his own blog, because his time is much much too valuable, but he spends the time to look up a citation for “grammaticality?”
Not sure if you’re ignoring me, or sending me subliminal hate boners.
Am I sick for preferring the latter?

The thing is I don’t think anyone else here proofreads their posts either. It’s just most of us can bang out something legible and coherent on the first try.
Moonz, it’s possible, if you reneged on your views on misandry, however, the case has been presented and you seem to have rejected it.
The hamster with the drill was a stock photo from google images. I like how it still has the background marks on it to give it that extra pizzazz. It’s the little touches that makes a quality poster.
I’ve grown since then. You wanna talk?

Steelpole, I’m glad you’re using your valuable time to make memes rather than wasting it on frivolous activities like learning grammar.
Moonz, I don’t necessarily particularly dislike you beyond the fact that you are a Boobzer; you aren’t a particularly obnoxious character within the Boobz community. However I do not know why you think that we could get along; the ideological divide remains stark. I see no reason to be especially venomous to you; however, you are a Boobzer.
Steele, my love, I’m as much of a Boobzer as you are.
Seriously, if you ever wanna talk about Misandry, I’m listening.
No way did Steele create those memes. Not enough misplaced commas.

I told you he’s doing it on purpose.
Steele, we can find our way to that meme page now. Don’t keep posting memes created by other people, it’s just kind of pathetic.

Grrrl power!
Steele, your compatriots think this is an example of a “good” woman:

Defend that, why don’t you?
Steele, don’t you know that opposites attract?
You know, previously, the feminists were primarily an abstract concept – a bad one, but more of a nefarious Blofeld-style villain, “behind the scenes” as it were. But now? Well, now, feminist dogma has affected my life personally – my girlfriend, Ella was driven away partially due to feminist ideology and society-wide indoctrination, which led her to sneer at a human rights movement for men. It’s shocking, the misandry that has been instilled in our culture. Feminists are evil, and that is simply all there is to it.
Ooh, I’m enjoying the ever evolving saga of Ella. Next week we will discover that she was a radfem all along, and she was sent to convert Steele by the feminist high command (we have an island base that’s guarded by highly trained sharks, like a more competent Dr Evil).
