The unquestioned king of A Voice for Men’s crew of meme-makers is the mysterious fellow known only as John Galt. Galt, whose contributions are often chosen as AVFM’s “meme of the week” and posted to AVFM’s Facebook page, is truly the meme-maker AVFM deserves — a graphic designer whose graphically challenged photoshopped masterpieces are as baffling as they are offensive.
I highlighted several of his, er, designs in my recent post on Inexplicable AVFM Memes. Today, I’d like to delve further into the photoshop disasters that fill his own Facebook page, some of them official AVFM memes and others posted under his own fake name.
But first, a little introduction to Mr. Galt, as found on his blog.
I live and work in the UK, am a physically fit man in his mid thirties currently studying Computer Science and Mathematics. … I, like most men I know have dated on and off for the past 20 years or so and from my experiences I have come to realize as, no doubt many of you have that there is a deep sickness in our society in regards to how men are treated. …
With a 50 billion dollar divorce industry, sex sold as some sort of priceless resource and victim hood sold to a nanny state as the only valid form of currency it is evident that Men must protect their independence and freedom more vigilantly than ever.
The price, for failing to see what is essentially a fairy tale lie is higher than it has ever been. That price is paid to governments and businesses who profit from the misery of destroyed families, men and women with tax rates and laws that only ever increase. It is paid to greedy women and feminists who demand one sided equality while forcing men to shoulder responsibilities with none of the inherent rights associated with
Sorry, I nodded off for a second.
These fascist lies permeate everywhere from the destruction of Masculine Roles to the ignorance of sex differences in medic
Oh fucking hell he goes on like this for several hundred more words. You can go read it if you like.
Anyway, he ends with a question:
What are you going to do about it?.
Longtime readers of this blog will no doubt notice that Mr. Galt ends his sentence with a new variation on the famous MRA two-dot ellipsis, which I think we can call the Galtian MRA Question Period.
Galt has answered his own Question Period with an ever-growing collection of terrible, terrible memes. So let’s take a look!
There’s this inexplicable homage to a 24-year-old song by MC Hammer.
And this conspiratorial take on “the pill.”
Apparently feminism was writing nursery rhymes in the early 19th century:
Hey ladies! Get on the feminist gravy train!
Apparently feminists want everyone to live in tents, which supposedly look like … vaginas?
Apparently the true cause of erectile dysfunction is … nagging?
I’m not sure what’s the most offensive thing about this one — the comparision of feminism to a nuclear weapon or Mr. Galt’s egregious typo.
![There are only [] words in this poster. And one of them is misspelled.](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/1512277_283830341778156_2363545253799813839_n.jpg?resize=541%2C720&ssl=1)
Honestly, I don’t think Mr. Galt needs a Men’s Rights movement to solve his problems. I think he might just need to hire a dominatrix. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I’ve just scratched the surface of Mr. Galt’s graphic work. I may have to return to him in a future post.
Is it just me, or does Mr Galt’s knife logo say what he really wants to do to women?
I’m agog at the display of talent.Truly an artistic genius like no other.
Good Lord, his spelling and grammar are terrible! I guess Mr. Galt here thinks that spelling and English grammar are “feminist lies” or something. How can anyone take these guys seriously, when they make no sense half the time?
That G-Dagger logo is both glorious and perfect for the internet of 1998.
I often wonder, based on their rhetoric and artistic symbolism, how many MRA’s are really just subs who can’t come to terms with their fetish.
I’m guessing from the first graphic that Mr. Galt thinks that having a female boss = men being disposable. I mean…I don’t even know what to say to that.
I would love to hear him verbally try to explain what he was thinking when he made these images, what he was trying to express. I imagine the lumbering intertwining Palin-esque nonsense word salad would be a thing of horrific majesty
So what I’m getting from the first one is that if a woman tells you to do something at work and you say “why should I?” and she says “because I’m your boss”, you can just say “wrong!” and then she won’t be your boss any more? Yeah, that’ll work.
I remain unsure as to why feminism and/or nagging is supposed to make men want to go pose on the Viagra float at Pride.
I like how his logo is always the top center layer and usually one of the largest elements.
The random, unrelated and inexplicable images of sexualized women on his posters really underscores the fact that it’s all about men’s rights and not misogyny.
/sarcasm
The one with the scooter is so weird. I mean, what did poor MC Hammer do to deserve being associated with the idea that men not being allowed to touch sexy old-timey pinup ladies is misandry? Was it the pants? I know they were ugly, but it was the 80s so it’s not really his fault.
Maybe it was his feminist English teacher.
So, because buildings are phallic, he thinks feminists think that men should live in tents that also somehow look phallic? Great Hera, Freud would have a field day with this guy.
That’s glory for you!
Epically silly. I’m guessing an emotional age of thirteen?
Also too, Objectivists, you know, hate “social movements,” organizations, and collectives of any kind. By joining forces with AVfM, “John Galt” is being very un-Galt-y.
(But, please, nobody tell him. These memes are so hilariously awful, I want to see MOAR.)
@ Cassandrakitty – actually, if a man does that, then the woman most likely won’t be his boss anymore.
I’m sorry to interrupt this discussion but am I the only person who has seen the glorious commercial for Linzess, treatment for IBS with constipation and chronic idiopathic constipation?
One of the actors communicating the agony of constipation states “When I can’t go, it’s like bricks piling up.”
For real. Someone said that. On television.
Of all the one million dollar bill pictures on the internet, he had to go with the one signed by Secretary of Eternal Affairs, Jesus Christ.
There is something about Ayn Rand that really makes a garden variety sociopath into something truly special.
I think what he actually wanted to say is “You’re not the boss of me!”, possibly accompanied by sticking out his tongue.
I do have to second the wondering…closet Sub?
Certainly kinky, and probably not in an honest sort of way.
This guy is really weird.
But MRA’s tend to ascribe all this power to feminists that we don’t actually have, which is weird in the first place.
I thought perhaps that “Enguinity” was Mr. Gaaahlt trying to meld “ingenuity” and “engineering.” But given the rest of his crap I’ll just have to go with the straightforward answer of “nah, he’s just stupid.”
The Engenious Meester Gahlt!
All I can say is, if this is a sneaky way to ask women to domme them then the answer is NO. Or more like ew, fuck no, now stop humping my leg.
Off to start my the feminist organization so’s I can collect that first quarterly installment of ONE MILLION DOLLARS. BRB.
His logo is both violent and phallic, and it has some serious failure of perspective. It’s perfect for MRAs, actually.
For some reason the logo keeps making me think of Blackadder. Like if they’d tried to do a Dr Evil-style villain, that would have been his family crest.
Wait – this “John Galt” appears to have the same ideas about feminism as Ali G…
