Evidently it is, at least according to these Men’s Rights Redditors and the people who upvoted them:
Oh, I know, they were JOKING. Pretty hilarious joke there, fellas!
I’ve got a few more based on the same formula:
How many [insert name of group you don’t like] does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
It only takes one to “accidentally” electrocute themselves doing this routine household chore, if you catch my drift, nudge nudge.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
I don’t know but it would be a shame if he didn’t make it all the way across if you know what I mean.

Knock knock
Who’s there?
It would be a shame if the person you let in the door were to murder your family, hint hint.
Yeah, those really aren’t jokes, per se, are they?
Thanks to Cloudiah for pointing me to this lovely little Men’s Rights subreddit exchange.
@opium4themasses: It’s probably just because you searched for that. It isn’t like that for any computer I use.
At this point it seems that MRAs are looking for any excuse to advocate violence against women. When did (NON-STRAW!) feminists ever say that violence against men was alright?
@Diogenes It is surprisingly common, but insurance companies don’t live off valuing human lives. They live off investments and manage the risk someone will pass away. They certainly don’t encourage killing.
Chie Satonaka: Hey there fellow Wisconsinite! 😀
I thought Diogenes was banned. Was he just too busy trying to talk to the NSA about the Voynich Manuscript while they kept trying to explain while exasperated that they deal with terrorism?
Their “jokes” are what leads unstable people to commit actual murder.
Oh, and just when you think those slimebags can’t go any lower, this happens:
http://www.reddit.com/r/againstmensrights/comments/1g22ds/not_having_enough_of_accusing_women_as_false/
Accusing a 11 YEAR OLD as false accuser of rape. Solely because she told the police 3 days after the rape happened.
As long as you are a female, you are a liar.
MRAs are the worst. How is r/mensrights not shut down yet? (Not that it would make any difference anyway, they’ll must make another subreddit. They spread like cancer: you kill one cell, many others grow)
I just saw… what you might call the other side of this idea. I read “the dwarf” by Per Lagerkvist, which was written in the 1940:s, and takes place in the renaissance. There’s this princess who has secret meetings with a prince from the enemy people, and they have sex. As it’s described, it seems completely consensual. Later on, however, it’s referred to as rape. My best guess is that it would count as rape because it’s her father, not her, that owns her body, and he didn’t consent to her sleeping with the enemy.
Jesus Christ I’m so sick of these assholes… They’re disgusting. Completely. Fuck I should not be reading this when I’m so stressed out.
I seriously wonder how many MRAs are actually divorced fathers. I have a feeling most men in those situations are perfectly fine with their lives and not so obsessed with hating women as these sick fucks,
I wonder how many MRAs have had any sort of LTR at all.
@Crumbelievable:
MRAs prey upon divorced fathers with real problems, brainwash them with misogynist/anti-feminist propaganda and use them as tools to spread their poisonous ideology. That’s how they “convert” them.
@MaudeLL
I’m secretly disappointed that no troll strolled in to say that while I was sleeping*, because I really wanted to ask: what makes this joke funny? What’s the part we’re supposed to laugh at? Be that person everybody hates, hypothetical troll, and explain the joke!
*It’s still the middle of the night here, but I had one of those horrifying nightmares where you really can’t go straight back to sleep. Thank goodness for Man Boobz. Now I’m going back to sleep XD good night everyone.
Fuck off to the end of the earth Black Fedora. What exactly do you get from making sick jokes on a thread where people are clearly very upset BECAUSE YOUR SICK MRA FUCKS ARE WORKING THEMSELVES UP INTO A FRENZY AT THE THOUGHT OF KILLING A WOMAN.
I don’t understand the MRA obsession with alimony. In my state, and most states nowadays, only temporary – usually pendante lite or short term – alimony is ever awarded. Alimony for life? Forget it! And the notion that he couldn’t change jobs? How on earth would they enforce that? How could they? This economy would end such an arrangement for him. This is another example of pure MRA fantasy. Though I hate to use the word “pure” where MRAs are concerned.
That’s why I think this guy is full of shit.
From the divorce laws melody posted;
So he’s an ardent supporter of gay marriage then, right? After all, there’s a good chance that he wouldn’t have to pay alimony for life if his ex-wife could get married, but since she’s a lesbian she can’t.
Yet somehow I doubt he’s out there campaigning for marriage equality or even necessarily supporting it…
scarlettpipstrelle:
Well, there is a teeny weeny grain of truth to it. In most places, if you have a child or spousal support judgment against you, you can be punished (I believe it is considered contempt of court, but I could be wrong on that) for *intentionally* switching to a significantly lower-paying job or becoming unemployed. But it generally has to be shown that you did it specifically to avoid paying those judgments, because there are people out there spiteful enough to punish themselves rather than support their kids/exes.
And as you said, very few states have permanent alimony anymore, and even those that do it’s pretty rarely awarded. They also seem to ignore that it is gender-neutral–whichever spouse earns less can potentially get alimony. Really, the fact that it seems to be one of their major “men’s rights” issues just shows how freaking privileged they really are.
Why is it that MRAs believe every story they hear about these things, but don’t believe in statistics regarding rape, or in any womans(or mans) story about sexism or rape. What world do they live in?
When black hat (the not feminist) tells us (the feminists) what kind of jokes a feminist would tell, ’cause he’s sure he would know better, is it mansplaining?
cloudiah posted Billie Holiday. Love this. Here’s Shirley Bassey acompanied by the Propellerheads. This song sums up how I’m beginning to feel about the MRA and manosphere in general given the rehashes and echoes of the past.
Serious UGH at Black Hat.
Yeah, because the people here have so much violent rhetoric, amiright?
Asshole.
Posting those sick MRA jokes in this thread is banworthy, IMO. Also for serial lying, admitted trolling, and sheer tediousness.
@blackhat
Apart from everything else wrong with your assertions, it can’t be a joke about abortion because it says baby, and only fetuses get aborted.
TBF, seriously? Fuck off.
BlackHat should earn his walking papers for those “jokes.”
I’ve emailed the big red head on the sidebar.
Sadly, when you try to look up real feminist jokes pretty much all you find are anti-feminist jokes. Yup, we sure are living in a totalitarian feminist matriarchy.
