Today, a look at the very terrible “Feminist Nazi” meme, in which this shouty lady has been made into the mouthpiece of feminism at its most hypocriticalist.
I know, that “ist” at the end of “hypocritical” really shouldn’t be there, but somehow “most hypocritical” didn’t seem strong enough.
The doofuses spreading these memes around the internet — the ones featured in this post have been shared anywhere from a couple of hundred to more than 166,000 times — apparently seem to think that Ms. Feminist Nazi offers quite the indictment of feminism.
But there are a couple of teensy problems with that idea. First, a lot of the alleged hypocrisies aren’t actually hypocrisies; many of them are just sort of puzzling. Second, NO FEMINIST HAS EVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THE STUFF IN THESE MEMES.
Let’s begin with this evil feminist who, like the identical looking evil feminist in the meme above, demands that men pay for everything. This is apparently rule #1 of Feminist Club.
Apparently Rule #2 of Feminist Club has to do with pulling chairs out and holding doors open:
Weird! I thought Feminist Nazis went around yelling a dudes who held doors open for them.
Feminist Nazi also oppresses men with her dating choices.
And her choice of dance partners:
I’m glad the meme-maker specified this was at a dance club, because otherwise I would have assumed it was, I dunno, at a gas station?
You know how MRAs always insist that the wage gap is a “myth?” Well, not so much, if the existence of the wage gap comes in handy for making a meme attacking women.
But apparently these same dude who think women screw their employers over by getting pregnant also sort of think that they shouldn’t be able to get abortions.
That’s about the only thing I was able to get out of this baffling meme:
Is there a single women on earth today, or in all of human history, who honesty believes that they are entitled to never face any kind of hardship?
And now it’s time for a message from Upside-Down Backwards Land:
As a formerly skinny kid who only got fat as an adult, I will only note that I pretty much never got any shit from anyone about my weight … until I started making fun of MRAs online.
Ok, now these things are just getting weird:
And I will end with a meme about which I can only say that HOLY CRAP IS IT AWFUL.
And of course it’s about rape.
To paraphrase a famous quote: Memes about feminism prove the necessity of feminism.
And we’re not even done with this meme yet.
COMING IN PART 2: Even more confusing Feminist Nazi memes, plus some written by actual feminists.
See, you can tell that these real life quotes were spoken by real life women because they are all prefaced with Oh EM Geeeeeeeeee.
Also, I’m pretty sure the “decent dude” who asked “wanna dance?” must have expressed some pretty colorful body language if the response he got was “ugh, pig”.
Considering how most women prefer to not deal with shitheads, I’m also guessing her reaction was closer to giving him the cold shoulder or a soft rejection. Which naturally doesn’t fit the narrative of her being a big meanie.
Not to mention, what does this even have to do with feminism? His meme is basically “feminism is hypocritical because when I tried to dance with some woman she rejected me”.
I’ll file that under “not even wrong” and “waaaaaah, it’s so unfair that I have to treat women as human beings.”
“Screws over employer by getting pregnant.”
I’m puzzled that of the three human beings involved in a pregnancy – the two parents and the child – the human being that this artist immediately felt the most sympathy for was none of them, but the mother’s employer.
I would ask whether they even basic human sympathy, but I know the answer to that already.
Antifeminists are absolutely enraged that they have to hold doors open for people! It’s a theme that I’ve seen in these things, in the laughable “poetry” that David covered a few months ago… everywhere.
I mean, I used to hate the “boys are stupid, throw rocks at them” cartoon, but everything that these boys are doing leads me to conclude that boys are indeed stupid and need to have rocks thrown at them.
(Figuratively.)
This last meme… How can they? How can they say people deserve rape or cant complain about being raped? How can they play with rape so much? Do they KNOW what rape is? It always baffles me the way they treat it like a small inconvenience or a normal and acceptable way men use to show disagreement.

Remember now – you’re talking about MRAs who believe that normal, everyday interactions between men and feeeeeeemales are twisted abominations designed to destroy men and boys!
I think for these dudes, marriage is supposed to be the highest form of ‘game’ wherein they use their superior man brains to trap those tricksy feeeeeeemales into reinstating the word “obey” into the vows. THEN those money-grubbin, job-stealin, high-maintenance soul-suckers are committed to the manly man, not the other way around!
Oh, I get it. It’s because for men, the consequence of sex is marriage and for women it’s pregnancy. So men wanting casual sex is the same as women not wanting to have babies.
“How come you get to dodge your responsibility of having my kid while I don’t get to dodge my responsibility of marrying you after sex?!” Demanded the man who doesn’t hail from any reality I’m familiar with.
@Dallas glad you got out of it. I was pretty thoughtlessly sexist when I was a teenager, I grew out of it pretty fast.
@MmmPie:
I think they can make up any rules they want as long as any of those rules satisfy the end goal of subjugating women. Not only do they have general rules for women but invent very specific and contradictory rules for different groups of women.
There’s special rules for black women, Latinas, Asian, transgender, lesbians, and women with disabilities. Often these specific rules are the exact opposite of the rules for the other groups of women, because the end goal is to put and keep women in a place of submission to male authority.
To that end, you get black women being vilified for being loud, Latinas aren’t allowed to express their anger at anything, less they be laughed at as being hot and spicy, and if an Asian woman expresses her feelings she’s a dragonlady. But all these stereotypes have the end goal of white men being able to point at these different groups of women and saying to white women “Don’t be like those women over there. Be nice. Be good girls.”
There’s a stereotype and/or insult for every type of womanhood, and these insults are designed to make you feel ashamed and to shut up and sit down.
That’s why they can have three different, contradictory rules of feminine behavior, all in one meme.
That was supposed to be @dal
Stupid autocorrect.
There might be a Rosalind Franklin movie!

I can’t wait for the anti-Semitic and male tears if this gets made and is very well received.
I feel like they’re making progress with that last meme. They’ve finally admitted that rape is about punishment and violence rather than it being because the poor men can’t help raping us because us existing makes them unable to control themselves.
On a happier note, I got a new puppy today. His name is Marshall. He’s a Staffordshire Bull terrier crossed with a boxer cross dogue de bordeaux. So a mutt really but he looks like a wrinkly staffy (wrinkly because of the dogue DB) with the colouring of a boxer. He’s 14 weeks old and is awesome. I work long hours but my mum is going to look after him during the day and I’m going to walk him before and after work. He’s asleep on my lap right now.
On the topic of abortion: A pro-choice blog I follow on tumblr put it in a way that I really liked.
“Childbirth is the only choice you can’t undo. You can change your major in college, you can break up or get a divorce, you can sell a house, but you can’t unbirth a child.”
I’m a plastic man
You can be me when you look this clean
These make me miss Walter and the peenocracy. At least the internal logic of his world seemed consistent.
NicolaLuna,
Yay for new puppy friends! Feel free to post pictures.
I am still new to this whole MRA thing, but wow, these have to be the most ridiculous, nonsensical word vomits I have seen from them yet. Still, I am archive binging this site, so maybe there’s been more stupid than this.
Hopefully this embeds.
I shouldn’t ask for a dog pic without sharing one of my own.

This is kinda low level stupid for them. Some posts have put me in “wait, what?” mode for days! Have enough fun archive binging, I love doing that.
I’m not sure how to post pics on here from my phone.
Hmmm….. I guess she pretty much never leaves her house than. Does have someone deliver her groceries every week, and drop them on her kitchen counter? Oh wait, she’d still have to pay the person delivering them. Guess that kind of defeats the purpose of never going out so you don’t have to pay.
@Ikeke35
Super awesome response! You are on the money
{applause}
I guess its safe to say the guy who came up with that meme wasn’t pro choice.

Let’s hope this works.
Apparently not. 🙁
@CriticalDragon1177 – he probably is pro-choice, but only when it’s his choice.
@WWTH Bailey is gorgeous. I love his face 😀
