So the fellas on the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit are trying their hands at humor. It’s not going very well for them.
Here they try a variation on the old “so-and-so walks into a bar” formula, with Jessica Valenti and Anita Sarkeesian replacing the usual rabbis and priests. (I also make an appearance.) Here they attempt a MGTOW version of Jeff Foxworthy’s “you know you’re a redneck when …” schtick.
But their grandest failure in the humor department is this … thing, which even the regular MGTOWs couldn’t bring themselves to upvote. I present it in its entirety, because what the fucking fuck:
Bah-dump tssh?
weirwoodtreehugger:
I think that part was actually trying to use “the trickery” to get her to blow him. “abject failure of men in satisfying women through receiving fellatio” is him saying “Hur hur I can totally get you off by you giving me head, and I can proooove it.”
Also… I think he heard this joke and forgot some. Because this seems more like the PUA’s part. I think the original “joke” had the MGHOW going his own way, and the PUA was supposed to be the hero of the joke. But the MGHOW didn’t feel he had enough attention by actuallygoing his own way, he had to make his hero harass the woman of the group. At least that part is accurate. Not funny though.
@Leftwing Fox
This seems more like a job for Declan Desmond
@Pandapool
I should not be laughing as hard as I am at the fact that the video you directed at Leftwing Fox has a fox on the table
Also, to clarify. I think the study is on “the abject failure of men to satisfy women”, and the research method is for the participants to give fellatio.
The whole concept relies on the feminist being someone fit for a burning man effigy, and apparently not even his fellow MGTOWs can imagine a strawfeminist of that magnitude.

Further proof of a theory that I’ve had for years now, the funnier side is always the correct side. Just look at Jon Stewart vs…I don’t know, Glen Beck? Is he supposed to be funny to conservatives?
“Isnt the point of MGTOW to not engage with women? Is that – is that the – *joke*…?”
Right? Confusing, isn’t it? I thin the “joke” is that MGTOWs can’t get a bj even if they’re the last guy left on an island with a woman.
Wait, he’s stranded on a desert island and he’s worried about finishing his thesis?
I’m pretty sure @Shadow has the ‘interpretation’ of the ‘punchline’ correct. After all, any rabid feminist would be willing to blow any man if told the blowjob was contributing to an academic study into male failure amirite? /s
The fun subtext there being that once again women are reduced to a sexual object for use, and once again women can only be conceived of as using sexual activity as a weapon or negotiating tool. Never, ever as an expression of *gasp* female sexual desire.
@dhag85 legit lol’ed
“…and then the feminist bashed the MGHOW with the rock, cannibalized all three of them, and used their skulls to decorate her bungalow until help arrived, thanks to the signal/cooking fire she lit, and all of this was because of survival skills she learned in the Girl Scouts.”
@Buttercup Q. Skullpants
Look, the MGTOW in this story is clearly the author himself. The author’s name is “UneducatedLoser”. And he’s a Harvard student.
I was confused as hell, but I think Shadow got it – he’s trying to trick her into blowing him because supposedly she’ll be desperate to prove how useless men are.
The entire desert-island setup seems weirdly pointless – they’re still stuck there with no food, is he going to survive solely via blowjobs? Also, isn’t tricking women into sex supposed to be a RedPill/PUA thing, not MGTOW? Why isn’t he going his own way? This is so embarrassingly bad I almost kind of want to rewrite a more coherent, less-surreal version of it for him.
Not to mention, what are they hunting?
Was the feminist in this joke supposed to be Katie?
We all know that the feminist would form a little 3 man army with the power of her vagina butter/goo.
I agree with the theory advanced by philosopher Christine Hitchens: Men evolved to be bad at comedy because they didn’t need to be funny to reproduce; they just needed to look pretty and flex their cute muscles. Women, on the other hand, had to learn to be funny to survive watching men try to trick them into giving blowjobs. Also, men have to use so much brainpower producing sperm that they don’t have enough left to think up jokes. It’s a bit sad for them, but it’s Nature’s way, and their disinterest in humor frees women to read Dorothy Parker and binge-watch “30 Rock.”
(In a follow-up essay, Christine was forced to admit that some men are funny. But they’re fat, gay, or Jewish, so they don’t count.)
….I don’t even know what the hell this means.
I’m not sure I want to.
I just know wherever this ‘joke’ is from, it’s from the same place as where they get their ‘memes’: some strange Bizarro Earth where it actually makes sense and is funny. It sure as hell doesn’t here.
A MRA, a MGTOW and a Redpillar walk into a bar.
Everybody else leaves.
Dadaist joke?
So he “cons her into giving him head?” Okay… not a funny joke.
Wow… men really aren’t funny.
So, only two people, then?
I’d like to note that he’s literally making a joke of male suicide here.
I thought dhag85 had it sewn up, but then Shaenon blew up the entire thread. Well played both of you. I’m laughing too hard to add anything of value myself.
This is my favourite so far. I’ll never not laugh at “A man walks into a bar. Ow.”
(Note to lurking MRAs: Not because “Misandry,” but because I love bad puns.)
An MRA gets into the bar, then spends hours yelling at the manager and attempts to sue the bar because WOODEN STOOLS ARE MISANDRY!!!!!!!!
I’m seeing more & more photos of “Jennifer Lawrence” on MGTOW.
So are my suspicions correct?
Is she … Katie?
I can’t believe it took me this long to realize it — Katniss, Katie!
Much, much WOW!
Hello.
Not Dadaïst, but Malkavian 🙂
Anyway, as a foreigner, i can not understand the joke in the article. I was first thinking the chute was missing, but you seem to say that the last line is the chute, so i do not get it. I should stick to Monty Python, it seems more approachable while surely not as funny as this joke.
Have a nice day.
Well the punchline makes sense if it’s a joke at the expense of MGTOWs; man going his own way begging for the attention of a woman.
I like the part with the rock, tho.

I’m surprised they actually realize that in the wild, with no larger system to support oppression, no bros to watch his back, when it’s just 1 on 1 – intimidation or straight out physically domination only work until the man turns his back, or falls asleep… regardless of his strength advantage.
