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.
Wait, maybe it’s the bottomless pit all their donations go to? Or the black hole that comprises Paul Elam’s heart?
breadandrosesblogger – if the blob shape was a bit different, I’d say it was Elam’s hand as he picks the pockets of the suckers who follow him.
Ken L. – that is interesting!

You mean gunfights didn’t happen daily, promptly at 10 am and 2 pm? That restored Frontier Town I visited was all lies! Lies!!
(I did know it wasn’t really lawless, but that’s the mistique that’s been built around it.)
This is an insult to all decent Attilas, including my little brother.
Would NWO slave be cool with women dealing with harassment using violence? Not that I advocate that, but if expecting the state to do something is bad, that’s the only other option.
look at your own hand in that position and compare to hand on the coin, look at your index
ifinger as compare to one on coin;,i would like to know what he is going to do with that long finder – bless, poke, insert, catch the blob.
XD
WWTH – no, no. Owly would expect women to sit on the kerb and cry. According to him that’s how women get everything.
gorillaella – I just want to know what happened to the thumb on that hand. Talk about deformed.
Maybe it is a hand tossing the red pill, shaped like a man tear, into a manly mans mouth who was drowning in a pool of feminism but now can be rescued for a mere sixty bucks? ?
It could be a drop of man blood shed for us lazy bon bon eating females that are expecting free mammoths and the like.
Their blood drops are pointy because they don’t have real hearts. It’s a metaphor or some shit like that.
Speaking of crappy metal insignias…

I still think it’s a cow pie.
OT, but this made me chuckle: Russian soldiers marching to Spongebob Squarepants
58.88 a coin? That’s $588,800 if they somehow sell all of them. I wonder how much the minting cost is because the silver is 21.45 an ounce, so $214,500 for the batch. That leaves $374,300 for the minting company. Even after minting, that’s gotta be a nice profit. And part of the proceeds goes to Elam.
Even if they don’t sell them all, they just need to make minting costs to break even. Silver is silver.
Ugh. That cavemen cuff is creepy and gross.
By the way, is there any evidence at all that paleolithic modern human or Neanderthal men routinely raped as a method of reproduction? Or is that something people just made up? I’m not aware of any evidence so I’m assuming it is the latter.
Tesss:Since this is being done as a limited run, and to a narrow audience, my guess is they are striking their own; as ordered.
Looking at the image, I suspect they have a striking press. I know some people who make coins/round pendants, and the edge on that coin looks similar.
So they don’t even need to worry about the minting costs, since there really aren’t any. All they need is a source for the coin blanks; when they get an order, they get some coins, and quick as you can say, “clear below: STRIKING!” they have one made.
pecunium:
According to the thingie Cloudia quoted in the first page, it’s through Attila Vinczer’s business, the Premier Canadian Mint. I just didn’t know how much it cost to mint something. But I guess not much if you have the tools.
WWTH – yeah, I’d guess it’s made up. What evidence could there be either way?
Well, plenty of tools in the MRM, that’s for sure.
Here’s someone who does not buy the notion that rape was the standard form of cavepeople’s reproduction, and his explanation.

The best part is it isn’t just one random band of soldiers, it’s all kinds of different groups. Including the ones in dress uniforms. So this is apparently a thing they do on a regular basis.
@BritterSweet
The irony is delicious. He says that an accurate understanding of “cave people” societies is impossible, and then goes on to assume that the concept of biological sex has always existed.
Anyway, it’s quite fair to assume that at least some societies back then were somewhat patriarchal and therefore had high rates of rape against women. Why that rape was committed depends entirely on the society/societies in question, but that dude seems to be assuming that the lesson is that all societies had mass rape against women.
Well I think the inverted teardrop is a paleolithic stone hand axe, made by prehistoric MRAs, who thus started technology leading to the internet, fedoras and all that cool stuff while the women were back in the caves eating bonbons.
This is just about to pierce the mammoth’s bellybutton, or possibly its bumhole, as it’s well known that like dragons they have just one point of vulnerability and that’s it.
Not sure about the hand though – I thought at first it might be Paul Elam’s money counting hand, but looking at the index finger, it’s probably ET’s.
Uh, that’s clearly a picture of a woman’s hand stealing a drop of precious semen from a discarded rolled-up condom in order to impregnate herself.
And that made me remember possibly the most effective make the audience lack because they’re so shocked moment in recent movie history. Anyone who’s seen The Good The Bad and the Weird will know what I’m talking about.
Laugh, not lack. Pretty sure that movie didn’t lack anything except possibly a better soundtrack.
