MRA Graphix Challenge! Design a meme more misogynistic than this one from A Voice for Men

avfmmeme
Real AVFM meme

Here’s a meme posted recently to A Voice for Men’s Facebook page. I know, a graphic suggesting that any man who enters into a relationship with a woman is bound to end up “miserable, or divorced and broke” is pretty darn misogynistic.

The creator of this graphic, who has imaginatively picked “John Galt” as his pseudonym, explained his thinking thusly in several comments on the Facebook page:

In making it I was in fact thinking of the Nash Equilibrium in Game Theory, popularized by Russell Crowe in the Movie ‘A beautiful mind’. In a society where the hypergamous instincts of many women are driven to cruel extremes by feminism It is ever more relevant to highlight to men that being shamed or encouraged to compete for something that is repeatedly demonstrated as worthless is not only important but very healthy. …

[I]t is in fact Marriage I had in mind but these days cohabitation is the same as marriage under the law. Effectively it is impossible for men to trust even a purportedly good woman simply because of the law, but then it is up to women to change that – all we can do is defend our own freedoms and rights and that is what is most important to me. Of course competing for the right to be treated like garbage is the main point and intentions mean nothing without actions…for men that action must needs be self interest first – ironically the one thing we have been trained and bred to ignore.

So, yeah, in addition to being nearly incoherent, this is pretty much misogyny turned up to 11.

But I think we can do better. Let’s consider this graphic a challenge. I invite any readers here who have graphic talent — and those completely lacking graphic talent whatsoever — to come up with a fake AVFM meme that’s MORE misogynistic than this. BONUS POINTS if you can incorporate an actual quote from an AVFMer in the graphic.

To inspire you, here are some completely unrelated gifs of tiny animals being adorable. (I found them all here.)

If you don’t want to make a graphic, you can always post some more cute animal gifs. It’s been a long week.

Bad graphics are hard. Here’s my contribution. http://i.imgur.com/0iXt7wL.jpg. Quotes from here.

Oh, and to whomever I borrowed the “A Voice for Me” joke from, thank you.

I admit, I mostly just use these contests as excuses to draw boners on plates. It’s a nice break from doing serious art stuff. Also boners.

Under this cantankerous carapace, I’m really just catching up on all the boner-drawing I never did in my youth.

Why is Miley Cyrus licking a toy astronaut? Why is a toy astronaut on a trophy? I’M SO CONFUSED.

Also, where the hell did he find a “radical feminist” teacher?

Probably nowhere. She probably just corrected something he got blatantly wrong, and he’s still pissy about it. He seems to have that spoiled-toddler way about him, judging by his tone there.

You forgot to add a fourth “boner!”

I figured, if WordPress is going to be a butt, I might as well take advantage of it with Joker boner jokes. I AM AN ADULT.

It’s ok. I make a pretty terrible adult, too.

I’m just dismayed that I have yet to hear of fandom ever doing something with this, considering how many Joker fans there are.

…then again, even if they did, I probably wouldn’t know about it, since I never want to imagine the Joker doing anything with anyone that might involve boners ever. (Except that comic. That’s the okay kind of Joker boner.)

Just generalizing…

Again, apologies…

This is a really bad contest idea, Dave.

…I’m afraid they are going to take our satirical memes and post them, except they will really mean them…O.o

I’m gonna go with making memes I agree with after the above.

I was rather taken aback the time I found some Bruce Timm-drawn pervy fanart of the Joker and Harley where we find out just what they do with the whoopie cushion. I mean, it was funny, but oh so wrong.

LBT, I have no idea why Miley Cyrus is licking the astronaut-mirror-ball-thingy, but it was so obviously misandric I had to use it.

Back when I was a kid and MTV was new, an ad, or logo, or station notification thingie they did was an astronaut on the moon planting a flag with the MTV logo on it. It was kinda an iconic MTV thing back then. So, it’s a throwback to that.
