Does anyone read newspaper comics any more? Does anyone even remember reading newspaper comics? One of the worst of the bunch is a mawkish little one-panel strip called “Love is …,” with a simple formula: a little drawing of a plump, happy, naked couple (minus sex organs), with a caption starting off with the words “love is.” The more popular strips were turned into greeting cards. I actually have an oil painting someone made of the Love is couple that I found in a thrift store for $1.47. The caption: “Love is … letting him win once in a while.”
The strip began in 1970, and the creator turned it over to the current writer and artist in 1975. I have no fucking idea how on earth he can come up with a new “love is” caption every day. His life must be some kind of existential hell. He must spend hours just staring out the window looking for inspiration. Love is … a dog taking a shit, no. Love is … a fat guy waiting for a bus … no. Love is … sitting alone in my underwear wondering what has gone wrong with my life.
Anyway, the reactionary Manosphere blogger Dicipres has decided to do a similar thing with the phrase “feminism is.” Only without the little naked couple. Here are some of his captions-without-pictures.
Feminism is a morbidly obese, sexually promiscuous, short-haired, tattooed, cussing beast whom no man can ever love or trust.
Feminism is a family which hates itself.
Feminism is a line drawn inside your home between you and your wife.
Feminism is a woman furious over ‘rape culture’ and who masturbates while fantasizing being beaten and raped. …
Feminism is a woman who cannot be loved anymore since she hates the domineering man she lusts and sexually despises the submissive man she likes.
Feminism is alimony and every other weekend
Feminism is a son hating his father
Feminism is equality as the only measure for progress of a society …
Feminism is a demographic annihilation due to low birth rates
Yeah. I don’t think any of those are going to work as greeting cards.
And what do these guys have against women with short hair?
You know, I just remembered… one of my earliest exposures to dirty jokes came in the form of a “Love is…” parody that was anatomically correct, with the caption, “… helping each other get up in the morning” (with each of them ‘lifting’ a bit of the other’s anatomy). That would’ve been over thirty-five years ago. Amazing what bits dig into the back of your brain.

Funny. The folks I know who’re like that actually have multiple happy poly relationships. Could it possibly be because they’re an awesome person?

Feminism is a woman who apparently can tell her fantasies from reality. MISANDRY!

Feminism means dommes don’t exist!

Oh god, there’s only SEVEN BILLION human beings! WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE! Speaking of someone who can’t tell fantsy from reality…
RE: Kittehs
Feminism is a kayak with a poop deck.
My husband made this face.
RE: lana
Actually, chromosomes don’t conform to people’s bodies nearly as clearly as people think. You can be XY and a cis woman. You can be XX and a cis man. That’s not even including the variety of intersex conditions and how they interact with human development. So asking someone’s chromosomes — especially when very few people actually get them tested — is a pretty rude question generally.
RE: scarletpipistrelle
Um, alimony is not awarded much any more. Almost never in states like mine. (which by now is most states)
It still does happen, though. *points to trans friend who lost a lot of money in their divorce, THEN lost their job, THEN had to shell out for surgery, all within the space of a month or two*
And I apologize for that I stuck my foot in my mouth and I’m embarrased. I did not intend to be insensitive. I think cis is the word I meant . That is a new word for me .I was only just exposed to it a few months ago so its no part of my “on hand” vocabulary yet.
And I do understand (just learned) that chromosomes can for lack of better terms “blend ” into one or the other .Where “technically” (chromosome wise) they are XX or XY.
Anyway it was an ignorant thing to ask and I’m sorry that I offended anyone.
I meant technically they AREN’T XX or XY .(inter sexed)
Feminism is a woman retaining the right to say no sex EVEN though she made the mistake of marrying you .For whatever reason. And a really good reason is if she realizes you are an insensitive ass hole . And she can divorce your ass and not be trapped into sex bondage being legally raped.
I don’t think he would if she looks like Halle Berry or Princes Di and is willing to have sex with him.
Ooooh …you said a bad word ……I’m telling on you !
“Tattooed?” Check. “Obese?” Check. “Short hair?” Check. “Promiscuous?” Check. “Cussing?” Check.
Damn, he nailed me.
I AM FEMINISM.

All hail La Strega!

Behold! The fat, short-haired cussing beasts of feminism:

Feminism might be a little bit overweight, but a cussing beast, it surely ain’t : feminism is the insecure girl who never found the courage to “speak up” whenever a guy said shit about women (or just expressed an opinion she disagreed with) and couldn’t help but remain silent, seething with rage. Eventually, she’s found an outlet for her anger on twitter where she can be the proud self-confident assertive cussing amazon who takes no shit from no wild dudebro she would like to be irl by participating (= by sending tweets in which she says that she’s angry, that she wants the guy to be fired and to have his balls chopped off) to the last harassment campaign launched by Jezebel against a guy who wrote something on the Internet.
If only there were more cussing beasts than frightened daddy’s girls out there, these kinds of wine-fueled debates we have during dinner parties would be more funny and more interesting, there would be less hysteria involved in the pubic debate, women would be more confident and less bitter, there would be less constipation issues : the world would be a better place to live in.
Ladies, help us create a better world : insult that big-mouthed guy you always wanted to slap who keep saying shit whenever an audience presents itself and let the Internet be what it should be, a place were the weirdos, the unemployed, the fanatics and the megalomaniacs from all over the world can ramble about stuff, tilt at imaginary windmills and occupy their time to meticulously solve problems which don’t exist.
You’re one to talk about rambling and solving nonexistent problems, Brz.
Also, you realize that feminism is a thing that happens off the Internet, right? Look at Wendy Davis!
Constipation issues can be solved by incorporating more fiber into your diet, drinking plenty of water, and physical exercise. For occasional bouts of constipation, over-the-counter remedies like Dulcolax, Senna-Kot, and Miralax work well. If you ever experience constipation accompanied by vomiting, fever and intense abdominal pain, you need to get an ER right away. You might have perforated something.
Given brz is a shit who doesn’t get out enough, it’s no wonder he’s worried about constipation issues.
Brz: fuck off. You and your faux French have not been missed.
I’m sorry, Brz, I couldn’t hear you, I’m too busy lusting domineering men.
Feminism is a line drawn inside your home between you and your wife.
The MRM is a line drawn down the Mississippi between men and women.
Oh man… this is great:
Paul really should retire and let John take over.
If you’re disappointed in Paul, feel better by listening to the epic JTO v. Manhood Academy debate.
I wonder what Elam thinks of that.
But where does that leave George and Ringo?

protip: try pulling this shit on arab feminists and they’ll cut your balls off
Fuck off, you bloviating asshole.
(Just taking your “advice”, ha ha.)
I notice the buzzing fly seems to have lost his French accent again.
“Boner, boner morning height,
In my bedroom in the night.
How can I make it go down?
When females won’t stay around?”
Burma Shave!

‘Feminism is a woman furious over ‘rape culture’ and who masturbates while fantasizing being beaten and raped.’
I love this and agree with it totally. Dude was actually accidentally pretty right-on with that one.
