Every Friday is Memeday here at We Hunted the Mammoth. So why am I posting memes on a Thursday? Well, because I’ve been collecting so many memes there’s no way I can confine them to one day a week. Also, it’s my blog and I can break the rules if I want, I mean jeez lay off me for a second why don’t ya?
Today, let’s look at some Men Going Their Own Way memes on the subject of money. Specifically, on the subject of men making all the money and women spending all of it. Which is apparently how many MGTOWs think the world actually works.
Since these MGTOWs aren’t planning to let themselves get ENSLAVED by any money-draining lady monsters — I mean, that’s in the MGTOW mission statement, pretty much — you would think they wouldn’t need to go around yelling about this and making memes and so forth but again, it appears that the only thing these guys are doing with all the time they’ve freed up for themselves by NOT BEING SLAVES TO WOMEN is to yell at the women they’re not being slaves to and make memes about them and so forth.
Seriously, dudes, there are much better hobbies than that. But who am I kidding. They’re never going to give up the yelling at ladies thing.
So we might as well take a look at the fruits of their labor.
I guess they have a point. If you type your PIN into that dude sitting there he probably won’t regurgitate $20 bills. Score one for A Voice for Men here: they’ve managed to produce a meme that is actually true!
Dude, dude, dude. You know that the point of one of these sorts of memes is to get an idea across quickly and memorably, and with a touch of humor. All you had to do was to put that “Talking ATM” on that guy’s head, and, ta da, you would have made your point. A dumb point, to be sure, but seriously, that’s all this needed. But then you started typing and typing and ended up with this mess.
Ok, so let’s set aside for a minute the question of whether or not there are literally small groups of women stalking the streets of affluent communities in search of rich guys they can extract money from.
What I want to know is how the “divorce court industry” can be illegal, but “embezzling men’s property” is … legal?
Ok, maybe it’s this guy’s casual attire, or his scruffy beard, or a his baby face. Or maybe it’s the lack of an incoherent, angry, misogynistic rant. But this is an awfully, well, chill MGTOW meme.
I mean, sure, the premise is a little presumptuous –are you really sure, beardy dude, that every woman who wants to get with you is really out to ENSLAVE YOU FOR LIFE?
But, hey, dude, you be you. If you want to just hang out drinking PBR, then just hang out drinking PBR. That’s your right as an adult human being. And it’s certainly a better use of your time than pasting man-sterical misogynistic rants into terrible memes.
PI: Your first meme is, bizarrely, even more effective than most MRA memes in making their case. Like IP (hey, waitaminute… does one of you have a goatee?), I didn’t quite get the second one though.
And yes, Sir Bodsworth, you may be justifiably proud of your own contributions.
It was a reference to a divorce case from the 90s where a divorced couple was splitting their beanie babies between themselves as part of their settlement, and that’s when the picture was taken. I recently saw it on tumblr, and thought about it after reading the article.
Chef Robouchon is a very expensive beanie baby, hence I suggested the wife would get it.
(I think I did MRA memes properly if I have to explain them to everyone. XD)

Oh! That’s a good one! Rolls right off the wossname.
Woah woah woah, that second one needs to slow down a bit. 500 TRILLION dollars?! Even if you’re using Australian dollars, that’s almost 5 times more money than actually exists!
And I thought comparing divorce settlements to slavery was silly and over the top.
Your blog is such a treat for the eyes and for the soul. I just wish all adveetisrments can be fun and glamorous and stylish like the images you present. Enough with fake beauties without personality.
The truth hit a nerve with this one. Why did so many women sleep with Tiger Woods? Tonnes of studies show women find wealthier men as more attractive as well. The memes generally show the truth.
