The We Hunted the Mammoth Pledge Drive continues! If you haven’t already, please consider sending some bucks my way. (The PayPal page will say you are donating to Man Boobz.) Thanks!
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!
@Binjabreel,
Man, I do that with all the things in the DMG, but the Apparatus has always held a place in my heart.
@Falconer “Still gonna be a while before they can glide.”
That just made me think of this.
Speaking of wich, the feminist high council really needs to get onto supplying us with our gliders.
But it’s really about ethics in tampon journalism.
Man, I better step up my tribute to my Feminist Overlords or they’re gonna stick me with the Ewok twig-and-leather gliders when the revolution comes. You know those things are deathtraps.
Here’s the best one:

I think I can frame the “women and children” argument in evo-psych terms so that MRAs will not only understand it, but will be FORCED to adhere to it….because evo-psych justifies all. Plus we all know that men’s rights activists loooooove Evo psych and feminists “hate” it, and anything feminists hate is something that men’s rights ASStivists are required to love.
So, the world explodes or something and only 50 people survive. 49 of them are men and one is a woman, not only would she be the most miserable woman that ever lived, the species would die. If 49 of them are women and one as a man, not only would he be the happiest man that ever lived, the species would have a much much much much much much greater chance of living.
Oh, wait, I forgot, evo-psych only matters when it comes to raping teenagers and knocking up women and refusing to pay child support because cavemen didn’t have to……sorry…..nevermind!!
……because the way cavemen behaved totally justifies any modern behavior. -poops in the middle of Paul Elam’s living room and walks away- He can’t get mad. That was in my DNA.
Re: Spermjacking
This reminds me of an ex who claimed that one of his ex’s was “baby crazy” and always trying to jack his seed. He even said he woke up from a dead sleep to find her on top, basically raping him (he didn’t use that word). Now, I am definitely NOT denying rape happens to men, but if you knew the caliber of asshattery he possessed…you’d be suspicious too. Especially considering that when we were together, he would make comments about how precious his “seed” was and how I was wasting it by not getting pregnant. Eeeew.
@Buttercup: You have it exactly right They think they can control women with the old “you’re unfuckable, you’ll never get a husband” rsnt, and they haven’t realized that there is a growing number of women who aren’t afraid of being single — don’t regard it as a badge of failure — and much prefer singlehood to being coupled with a jerk.
What is true is that a lot of men are going to find themselves growing old and lonely (can you say “Roosh”?) unless they can find a way to make themselves acceptable to women. The shoe pinches when it’s on the other foot.
In other matters, after returning from two weeks with no or lousy internet, I moseyed on over to the GQ site to see whether our MRA buddies had been up to any mischief in the meantime. Dan Perrins was threatening to sue over they way he was depicted in the article — so what else is new. But, in addition, one of their less r4asonable guys — who uses the nym “Reason” — has posted the following meme:

I understand the obligatory reference to the SCUM Manifesto, of course, but I am puzzled why a feminist should be cussing at Jeff Sharlet for writing an article exposing the (figurative) unwiped butt of the MRM. Can someone enlighten me?
They can’t logic very well. That meme…makes NO sense. That would make it seem that the feminist pictured was angry with Jeff, when in fact they are on the same side and Jeff was saying the MRM is angry. Then throwing the scum manifesto in there…why?
They should just simplify and make posters saying “We Hate Women”, since that’s always their point anyways.
@GOM, the best I can come up with is a sort of tu quoque or whataboutism — what about all the yelling and violence of the feminists, as demonstrated by a cherry-picked frame of the Red-Headed Activist and the SCUM Manifesto.
Still can’t explain why he thinks feminists would try to silence Sharlet.
Is Chanty Binx the RHA?
In an update, Dan Perrins states that he is not planning to sue Sharlet. He’s thinking criminal charges.
How many years has it been since the red-haired activist told an MRA to shut up because he was talking over her? And they’re still mad about that.
Good Lord! I didn’t know who Chanty Binx was so I did a google search and was bombarded with graphic images and websites full of dudebro haterage. I didn’t even click on anything. The list and thumbnail images were enough.
@GOM:
I wish him good luck with that. It’ll be amusing.
Lol.
Yeah, that’s going to work just splendid for him. Yep. Uh-huh. Sure. Can I bring the popcorn?
Sure he is.
What a jackass.
Ms. Binx was right. These creeps should STFU.
Ugh, come on, people. This is how you do a fake protest.
Wait, what criminal acts does Perrins think Sharlet committed? I’m pretty sure writing an article that shows the AVFMers as the creepy assholes they are is not a criminal offense. Nor is bringing a friend to a conference.

My response to Sharlet’s claims.
I’m ready for court is he?

@DanPerrins Dan, you’re always ready for court — you’re one of those guys that threatens to sue anyone who disagrees with you. I’m sure Mr. Sharlet is quaking in his boots. So bluster away.

Who said anything about suing?
I’m talking criminal.

@DanPerrins ROFLMFAO
I have no idea what he’s thinking (assuming, he is, in fact, thinking).
I have met Jeff Sharlet and he is the kind of unprepossessing person that people find it easy to talk to. Perrins seems to have forgotten the fact that if you are talking to a journalist covering an event, what you say to him just might end up in the story.
A story like this is like a mirror. Perrins (and other AVfM’s) looked in the mirror and didn’t like what he saw, so he’s angry at the mirror.
Crossing AVFM, of course.
I didn’t mean to embed the video, but since it’s there ….
I can get away with freebleeding if my period is super light, I’m staying at home, and I go to the bathroom a little more frequently to make sure I’m not bleeding too much.
I mostly do it because we normally only have tampons in the house, and I’m trying to not use as many because they’re honestly a little bit scary.
