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 $$58.88 on this piece of crap, you are not oppressed in any way. And you should probably have your right to vote stripped from you.
Just kidding about that last bit. You should still be allowed to vote even if you buy vagina coins from a dude named Attila.
@WWTH, Atilla is actually a pretty common Hungarian name.
Attila, even.
Ah, Ok. I was thinking it was a stage name after Attila the Hun.
I didn’t catch up with the comments yet (and this won’t be a funny comment) but it reminds me of this: http://www.ephotozine.com/articles/water-drop-photography-12434/images/water_drop1.jpg (I like water drop photography.) ^^;
@Ken L.
I was laughing at the dates too. Like, of course, you know what they say: 1st year, paper, 6th year, commemorative coin.
Spot silver is about $21 an ounce (Troy ounce). So — 100% profit. Assuming, of course, it’s not a scam of silver plate.
“I do know one thing, though: If you can afford to waste $$58.88 on this piece of crap, you are not oppressed in any way. ”
Right, because making a sacrifice to support an organization you care about means you’re rolling in cash.
It can be considered a donation with a little bonus for you.
Is that supposed to be a “butthurt” symbol?
Shut up, Woody.
I wrote a poem just for you Woody! Would you like to see it? Here goes:
You’re not supporting an organization
You’re supporting this one dude who sometimes may use some of his money that you’re giving him to get stock photos to use on his website
Stop being such an uncritical cheerleader for someone who just wants your money
I put about as much effort into it as you do into most of your comments, so I figured it might resonate with you.
@ athorist: Did not know that interesting. I guess I should have said the artistic interpretation of a water drop,
“3) A vagina
4) A vagina
5) Come on, it’s obviously a vagina”
Ahahaha I looked at the coin again and just saw a vagina with a levitating clit; ready finger willing to pleasure it. That is not right, that is not right (or maybe it is). Can’t unsee.
Great site. I’m not really close to foreign feminism, but that is fantastic that you guys are mocking AVfM… yes, unfortunately we have heard of them even here in Brazil.
I will donate pretty soon. Keep the good work!
You all have it wrong and this coin is clearly showing an image of waterbending, which is an art taught only to men and is therefore a bastion of masculinity.
(I’m watching Avater: The Last Airbender, if anyone hadn’t guessed).
A man has just taken the red pill and is about to climb out of a portal which exits the gyoncentric matrix,
I had no idea Robert Kennedy was referring to radical feminists when he said “mightiest walls of oppression and resistance”. You learn something new every day here at WHTM.
While nothing about this coin make sense, the most noticeable oddity for me is that little splash in the middle of puddle looks like a dent. They designed an expensive collectable coin that looks damaged, it’s like issuing a trading card with a bent corner. I don’t collect coins, but I have a collector’s persnickety obsession over condition and believe dents are inherently evil. Of course, the fact that the coin is hideous looking overall is a problem too.
In Woody’s World (the worst sitcom ever?) Elam and Attila’s pockets = an organization he cares about.
And how the hell do you know that Paul is spending all the donation money on himself? He’s said the it goes to him, as I’d expect as he is the SITE FOUNDER. He uses it at his discretion.
And I think the truth speaks for itself. AVfM is a well-designed, well-written online newspaper that employs many well-regarded writers and academics and recently hosted a real-life conference. This all costs money.
Dearest Woody,
http://m.quickmeme.com/meme/3sd702
“Well regarded writers and academics”
LOL! That’s hilarious
Woody has inspired me to see the truth behind the coin’s symbolism:
The pool is the collective finantial assets of MRAs. The drop is a donation to AVFM. The single hand is all that money going straight to Elam.
MYSTERY SOLVED.
Somehow I knew Woody would use this as an occasion to express his completely uncritical support of Paul Elam spending money on whatever he wants.
it appears condom like to me, with a leak perhaps. as to the hand floating above … that would be anyone’s guess.
I think it’s supposed to be water ripples. But not to be too crass, it looks like a sphincter with a drop of lube and a hand gradually encroaching.
Optimism: It’s AVfM’s going out of business sale!
Pessimism: It’s the Blerch. Melted.

Shit, dude, did I say he was spending it all on himself? No. He might be using his money to support all sorts of things. But if you’re sending him a donation, you are not using your money to support anyone or anything other than one Paul Elam.
