This is a picture of A Voice for Men’s new commemorative coin. No, really, they have a commemorative coin. It was designed by Peter Vinczer, father of A Voice for Men’s Attila Vinczer, possibly — I suspect — with the help of Judy Chicago. The coins cost $58.88, and will be issued in a first edition of 10,000.
In the comments to AVFM’s announcement, six people have proudly announced that they’ve purchased a coin. So get yours quickly, because there are only 9,994 left before the first edition runs out!
The only real question is what exactly is being depicted on the coin:
Is it:
1) An otter in a manhole
2) A man levitating a carrot over a milkshake
3) A vagina
4) A vagina
5) Come on, it’s obviously a vagina
ANSWER: I have no fucking clue. Seriously, I’ve been staring at this for like ten minutes and I have no idea what on earth this could be. What is the round thing? Why is there a tiny hand? If that thing above the circle thing is a raindrop or a teardrop or whatever, why is it upside-down? Why would AVFM issue a goddamn commemorative coin in the first place.
I do know one thing, though: If you can afford to waste $$58.88 on this piece of crap, you are not oppressed in any way. And you should probably have your right to vote stripped from you.
Just kidding about that last bit. You should still be allowed to vote even if you buy vagina coins from a dude named Attila.
It’s obvious MHRAs are Jim Henson fans.

Hmmm…let me see if I can decipher it:
That round thing is a pool of some…fluid. Not water, obviously. If it were clear and undisturbed water being shaken up by drops from above, the ripples would form concentric rings, which from the viewer’s perspective would appear as symmetrical, smooth ellipses. Since these ripples are messy and shaky, the fluid in question is something thicker, more viscous, and probably a lot more turbid than water. I’m going to guess that it’s either blood, or good ol’ man-milk. Most likely the latter, since blood is the stuff of us icky-wicky feeemales, and they’d just scatter like scared rabbits if they ever saw any.
And since these guys are all wankers to a man, the strangely small, disembodied and misshapen hand (cut off at the wrist? WTF?), in its cramped position, symbolizes furious masturbation, which they do in crooked circles, chanting hateful verses that don’t rhyme and strain to scan.
I’m still trying to figure out why that drop (also not water, since it would have to be more or less globular, and not “teardrop”-shaped) is falling upside down. I can only surmise that it must be because the parallel universe these guys inhabit is the inverse of reality, and the law of gravity doesn’t apply, so everything there falls up. ManLogic™!
As to the question of why a commemorative coin, your guess is as good as mine. These guys haven’t done a damn thing worth commemorating, nor will they ever. It smacks of a combination ego-stroke and cash grab for Elam. Which makes it all the more fitting that it is so poorly conceived and ugly. The motto on this should read “Dross You Can Toss”.
And my word to anybody who’d buy it? Honestly, you’d get more for your money if you sent that moolah to me. Allow me to introduce myself: I am the proprietress of the Brooklyn Bridge, and I’ll sell it to you for $50. That’s a full $8.88 discount, fellas! I’ll even throw in some lovely oceanfront property, absolutely free.
In Saskatchewan.
@ pallygirl – I love it, but for some reason your post made me flash back to the great smell of whatever aftershave it was my brothers doused themselves with several years before they were shaving. As a sense-memory, I prefer cat pee.
@ kittehserf – it’s a chap having a knap! Very pleasing. There are still traditional flint knappers here in Norfolk, plus a giant flint mine that was active continuously from the Neolithic to the 18th century, and traded flints to as far away as Siberia. Archaeology is silent as to whether the Neolithic flint diggers wore fedoras.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
*takes breath*
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….
@LM:
BREATHE! BREATHE, goddamn it woman, BREATHE!
(Sorry – just having a flashback to that awful awful time when I watched a woman drown. I’ll always remember the trauma – I still can’t believe I paid $12 to watch “The Abyss” in a theatre…)
The droplet represents the tears of all men suffering under the current gynocentric regime. Its upside down to symbolize that schools are failing boys, who were once -solely through merit and testosteronic aptitude – the inventors of all science and mathematics, now unable as adults to even figure out which way a teardrop falls. If one peers closely, one will espy that the picture is actually a reverse-effect of a drop falling into water. The event being depicted in reverse symbolizes that we are now in an age of reverse sexism against men (not that there was ever any real sexism against women in the past or present, it was all just men and women in partnership willingly fulfilling their natural, scientifically-based roles and preferences, but the feminists have convinced modern women that that their traditional role in society was sexist). The stained ripples represent how one single and completely unnecessary movement, feminism, has created so many negative consequences in what was previously an egalitarian society.
The lone hand symbolizes how even though men and women were once unified in a complimentarian way working together to build a stable society as partners, feminists have now turned women against men and made the two sexes as enemies, and men must now work alone to free themselves from misandrist oppression. Alternatively, it is the greedy, grasping hand of a hypergamous female, enabled by the anti-male court system which facilitates the transfer of wealth from males to females through no fault divorce laws, child support, and alimony. Other men may read it as the oppressive hand of the misandric, feminist ruled government.
Oh, and the small indent in the water where the teardrop once was represents how little anybody will miss MRAs when they’re gone.
Perhaps I’ve just played way, way too many videogames but to me that looks like some kind of lobster-headed boss monster lurking just under the surface of the water, spitting out poison droplets at the player (I guess that’d be the hand – a Kinect game, possibly?).
Perhaps this is how they view feminism – a grotesque venom-spewing monster creating harm from the shadows. Which makes me wonder just how many feminists they’ve actually tried having a two-way conversation with.
Oh, and clearly AVfM has the cheat codes. 😉
Ok Woody, I’m pages behind, and maybe you’ve seen the light on this one little thing, but no one with any damned sense could possibly call AVfM “well designed”. It’s cramped and cluttered and whomever did the code didn’t include the few lines required to make videos resize to not break the layout!
I got it! It is an asshole dripping shit. More specifically, Elam’s asshole dripping shit on the hand (that feeds him). Bonus points since Elam already equals asshole.
Off topic, but… holy catfish, the organizers of DashCon (which is apparently some kind of Tumblr convention?) may be even more inept/sketchy than Paul Elam and company (though less biliously hateful):

Ok, last off topic EVER about the World Cup: Argentina didn’t make it 🙁
I’m not really a football person, but I couldn’t help getting caught up in all the World Cup frenzy.
Right now, people are on the streets again, celebrating anyway and cheering our team. The delights of living in a football-crazy country: 2nd in the world is still good enough to celebrate.
As for me, I snapped out of it rather quickly and went back to viewing FIFA as the big ugly sexist transnational monster that it is.
Tomorrow shall be another day.
No shame Lulzbelitx. I love watching the Olympics even though I’m well aware of the all the huge problems with them. I just can’t help it. I get so into them.
Thank you, wwth!!
I’m also not ashamed to admit in case Argentina won, I would have probably joined the fun for at least a few more days…
I think, despite the obvious business behind it, football brings people together and a collective feeling is both hard to describe and almost unique in its kind.
At least in a country were children get footballs as presents before they can even walk 😀
I mean “where”.
The Olympics bring people all over the world together too. It’s also the only time anyone pays to attention to the sport I used to which is diving.
I’ve been too busy watching the big Dota2 tournament to pay attention to the world cup
E PLURIBUS ANUS
It looks like a tiny hand reaching out to intercept a tiny teardrop track cycling helmet before it descends into the nostrils of a piece of Kaboom cereal.
Just the other day, I was wishing I had something to commemorate the time that happened to me.
I always find it amusing that they can never find a half-decent graphic designer amongst their ranks. Seriously, no MRAs know how to use Illustrator and are aware of the Gestalt principles?
Obligatory:
So, Luzbelitx, no were-children then? Cuz I could be one of those. I think I already am. When the full moon rises, I turn into a frenzy of energy and roam the playgrounds, howling “Olly Olly Oxenfree!”
The US army has been singing the Spongebob Squarepants theme song since the 40’s? 😯
@Unimaginative hahahahahahhaha can’t stop thinking of were-children now!! 😀

Also, I just noticed I slipped the word “crazy” up there, please allow me to correct it to “fanatic” or maybe “really, really loving”.
LOL to me it looks like a broken condom. The hand is reaching out to grab that drop of liquid gold before some evil woMAN can take it to teh sperm bank and force said hand to pay child support.
