So I’ve discovered a new bunch of antifeminist meme-makers who’ve somehow managed to pull off something close to the spectacular ugliness, incoherence, and just plain wrongness achieved by the meme masters at A Voice for Men.
Let’s give a big round of applause to the graphics whizzes of the United Anti-Feminist Coalition and their lovely Facebook page.
The Godwin-tastic meme at the top of this page — which gets bonus Godwin Points because Gloria Allred is actually Jewish — may be my favorite of theirs I’ve seen so far, but there are so many other brilliant contributions on their page that I hardly know where to start.
The UAFC meme-makers, like those at AVFM, do love battling straw feminists.
You know, like the straw feminists who HATE MALE FACIAL HAIR!
The Straw Feminists who are always demanding that random dudes make them happy.
And of course the Straw Feminists who demand “women and children first” when it comes to evacuating ships that for some reason don’t have enough lifeboats.
When the UAFC memers aren’t fighting imaginary feminists, they’re railing against imaginary feminist campaigns. Like the “Free Bleeding” campaign, a phony “feminist” celebration of menstrual blood that was actually concocted by 4chan in an attempt to make feminists look silly.
Well, it’s not feminists who look silly here. Especially given that the kid in the picture below is clearly holding a “Honk if you support Obama” sign with the words “if you support Free Bleeding” photoshopped onto it.
And when they’re not fighting off the specter of “Free Bleeding,” the UAFC is railing against the evils of “spermjacking” with barely comprehensible graphics.
Never mind that men are the ones actually poking holes in condoms; indeed, 16% of women on one recent study had a partner try to sabotage their birth control in an attempt to get them pregnant.
Then there are memes that are just plain incomprehensible:
I mean, I’ve been to Mangina Boot Camp, and it’s nothing like this!
Why is that duck so angry at the photoshopped child and her parents?
Bina, are you sure you aren’t finding Hitler’s eyes scary just because he’s, you know, Hitler? Because I suspect that photoshopping those eyes onto some random guy would result in a not-scary picture. Well, provided they were on his face.
To me, both Allred and Hitler just look stern in those photos. But I guess a high-powered civil rights lawyer isn’t allowed to look stern if she’s a woman? She should try being more fluffy.
Nonserviam
I think that’s a goose and I don’t know. I don’t think think the creators know either.
Ah, last time I’ve seen something this incomprehensible, it was a straight pride facebook groups. I’m sure there is no overlap or similar arguments these two groups have however
My beloved’s beard is handsome and it tickles my face when I kiss him ^_^ And I like to think that my feminist credentials are pretty solid. The FHC certainly seems happy with my misandry quota.
How do these dudes expect to be taken seriously when their memes
a) are badly designed
b) are incoherent/ confusing
c) are rude and hyperbolic
d) can only be read in a sneering tone of voice.
Snorkmaiden,
And the manosphere is just as upset about feminists talking about access to affordable sanitary products. Remember when Jessica Valenti talked about poor women not being able to afford them and the MRAs managed to twist it around. They claimed that she, personally was demanding that the government pay for her tampons.
I guess they don’t want us to wear tampons, they don’t want us to free bleed, they don’t want us to be menopausal because ewww older women! Once again, it’s unclear what exactly they want from us.
It looks like a canadian goose to me.

Re: beards: I was baffled about that at first, but now I think they must have mistaken the use of “neckbeard” as an insult for a very particular kind of MRA dudebro (and a very particular kind of unkempt beard) to mean “feminists hate beards!” Of course that’s silliness for the same reason that assholes ruining fedoras doesn’t mean Alain Delon doesn’t still looked damned good in Le Samourai, but that’s all I can figure. Are feminists even more likely to dislike beards than the total female population?
Yes, as part of equality for all, we believe that everyone should let their bodily fluids leak freely, without concern for sanitation, hygiene, or common courtesy. Ladies, let your menstrual blood flow! Fellas, don’t be ashamed of your semen, diarrhea, mucus, urine, or blood…let it flow with pride! <——I mean, really, how could someone think this was a thing? They really believe some stupid shit.
“And this one time, at mangina camp…”
So photoshopping a disgusting message onto a kid’s sign without their permission doesn’t count as adults using a minor as a conduit to push propaganda to the masses?
I see. *strokes invisible beard thoughtfully*
@Buttercup
I think you may have won this thread. At the very least, I award you 2 internets. Also:http://cat-beard.com/
Times I’ve seen any man ever criticized for his beard: Barely a handful, by partners (of both genders) who didn’t like facial hair.
Times I’ve been subjected to personal verbal attacks, from both men and women, because strangers thought I was icky: Countless. Included are incidents when I took young children under my care to the store or playground and was made fun of, called vulgar names, and interrupted from going about our business.
Two questions:
1) What exactly is free bleeding? And should I have been charging myself every time I nick my leg shaving?
2) Deadbead dads – er, a little help here please? It must mean something different from deadbeat since these meme makers are top flight intellectuals who wouldn’t make pithy spelling mistakes in their masterpieces!
I think Hitler’s eyes are only creepy in that picture because they’re obviously shopped and so he looks like a Goa’uld.
from Diana Davison’s youtube video comments:
I am fascinated by this gigantic, feminist machine I hadn’t heard of before now. Is this like an early version of a Star Trek replicator? Does it make stuff too, or just $? I could really use a new car. How do I contact the feminist machine and order one?
You know, if you lump “women and children” together, most people will vote for that option to be saved first, and it’s because of the child factor. If you were to lump “men and children” together, people would vote for THAT option first, as opposed to women (no child option) first.
Now, if you were to, say, have “children” and “grown-ass people” as your options of groups to save, people will vote for the children first. In fact, I can’t think of ANY option in which normal people would not vote for saving children first.
Not that it comes up very often, that there are a limited number of people you can save in a situation, and you have to pick a group or two and leave the rest.
It’s actually only a $90,000 feminist machine.

…Hang on, I’m being told that that’s an apparatus of Kwalish.
@ Katz:
Oh my. I was wondering why that picture was more disconcerting than it should be, and then your comment made all the pieces come together.
How did I not notice that?!
Now all I can think of when I look at that picture is when he’s going to start yelling “Kree!”
Hmph. The embedding fail kinda ruined my joke.
Fred, I suspect whether MGTOW would save the child first or not would depend on whether they were going to be forced to pay for raising the child in the future or not.
If there was a big wealthy feminist machine (there isn’t) and for some reason it decided to fund Paul Elam (it wouldn’t), I agree that he would take the money and sing a different tune. At least for awhile. After all, mooching off of women is what he does best.

My nine-month-old is currently terrified of beards. I must have raised him well in the ways of misandry.
Lovely work as usual, Bodsworth. The burnt chicken is a nice touch.
Bodsworth, that’s just perfect!
