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.
Don’t have time to catch up on comments yet, but wanted to ask this anyway. What is the ‘wpmen’ in the caption of the top picture supposed to be? A misspelled ‘women’ or a misspelled ‘wampum’? Or given the way these guys think, ‘whamp-um’ might be the correct word there, too. 😀
(Will now find ten typos in this post after the edit clock runs out. That’s the rule in cases like this, yes?)

Men have always done this. When I was married in my early twenties (back in 1969), there were heaps and heaps of men who didn’t get married young. They stuck with their footy club or surf life-saving or motorbike groups or time (and money) consuming hobbies or activities.
And lots of men still do this. They just don’t want a medal or a chest to hang it on for doing so.

MGTOW – To not willingly chop off your own balls and hand them to a woman. See marriage.
Women – Emotional and financial succubi. See divorce.
OT: Today in Donald Trump being the most blatant liar in the R race. He totes didn’t want to intervene in Libya

I don’t need a shed, but I would consider killing that Alan Davis guy if it meant getting a proper fence in exchange for doing so. Andplusalso – I’d totally wait (seeing as I’ve gone without a proper fence for quite some time already) for whoever to marry him and get the necessary paperwork to be named as beneficiary(ies) of his entire estate, before proceeding to murder the dude.
Is murder for hire still a crime when it’s for a proper fence instead of money? Probably should have asked a professor back when I was in law school still…Anyways, back to my job working for the illegal divorce industry. I also arrange child support embezzlement, which occasionally involves setting men up for fraudulent charges of domestic violence!
I won’t do evictions though. Something about having to serve people with Vacate in 3 days orders around Thanksgiving and Christmas was a little soul-crushing.
@Sir Bodsworth: Brilliant, and hilarious! I’ve missed your memes so much. Glad to see you back!
@ThatBear:

It’s a fractal mustache. Even his neckbeard has littler neckbeards.
A Pierre cartoon and a Sir Bodsworth meme in the same thread. Happy day!
I see Pierre is in top form tonight. Well done Katz.
Also, and it pains me to say it… that debit card kiss painting is . . . good? As art, I mean. It’s both visually striking and somewhat pleasant, memorable, unique, open to a variety of interpretations, yet still easy to tell what the painter wanted to say. At least one MRA in the world is not a complete creative failure. Bizarre.
Bodsworth: I particularly like the word bubbles that don’t point the right directions.
The Crime Stoppers meme has more fonts than a magazine cutout ransom note. MRAs understand graphic design about as much as they understand feminism.
“This is Stalking.” No, it’s really not, not even a little.
It’s good to see Pierre again, but where’s Poutine?
Shooting in Kansas last night, 4 dead including the shooter. 🙁
The Pierre comic is great. The MRA peeking from behind the bushes is the most precious thing I’ve seen today. I should have put my cup of coffee down before looking at it though.
AVFP comics are always great. katz, you’re superb when it comes to making the world a happier place.
@Petal: And in the “I am Jack’s lack of surprise” department:
Kansas Shooter Issued Restraining Order Before Killings, Cops Say
I am mildly surprised that the killer wasn’t a white guy this time. The cynical me wanted to say “and that’s why the cops shot him, as opposed to Dylan Roof or Robert Dear”, but apparently he shot and hit an officer, and that’s pretty much a take-’em-down moment.
Kansas Shooting: Hero Cop Took on Gunman While Being Fired Upon
Apparently, if you’re a cop and you fire back when someone shoots at you, that makes you a hero?
It might when you’ve been hit, though the (ab)use of the word “hero” in headlines is commonplace. One of the other forums I frequent cheerfully mocks it.
If PBR guy fixed his hair and trimmed his mustache, I actually might take a shot at seducing him into a life of servitude.
So much response-worthy material here:
The return of Pierre! Katz, you’re still a genius.
*Starts eyeing Ventra card*
On the Kansas shooting:
Arguably, a cop who goes into a situation where there’s a gunman, with the intent to save lives of others, meets the definition of ‘hero’ even for those of us who hate the overuse of the term.
On the shooting itself, it doesn’t surprise me to find out it was a guy who was pissed because a woman left him. Entitled piece of crap.
Whoo! Joining in the applause for the return of Pierre, and for the always amazing artistry of Sir Bodsworth.
> Is just a little sad that her memes went unnoticed.
@PI
You’re doing activism right! 🙂
I couldn’t comment when I first saw them, and then it slipped my mind. I particularly like the first one because it’s not even an exaggeration. 4channers are actually complaining that actual women aren’t more like videogame girls or anime girls.
I didn’t get the reference in your 2nd meme though. :/
Woo thanks, folks!
Who’s that guy in the “one of these things is not like the other” meme? He’s hot!
