Memeday: This imaginary feminist I just made up is a hypocrite! Part 1

Apparently, if someone pays for you on a date you should lose the right to vote
Apparently, if someone pays for you on a date you should lose the right to vote

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.

QUEEN

Apparently Rule #2 of Feminist Club has to do with pulling chairs out and holding doors open:

holddoor

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.

realmen

And her choice of dance partners:

danceclub

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.

screwsover

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:

abortion

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?

hardship

And now it’s time for a message from Upside-Down Backwards Land:

sofat

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:

bentley

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.

raped

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.

The league of extraordinary assholes have finally united in the production of what will be a trainwreck.

They’re so afraid to speak they’re making a movie and advertising it with their names and pictures in big letters on the front page!

SO AFRAID YOU GUYS.

@katz – absolutely right! They have serious floofy power, but they don’t hold with the notion that it should be exercised responsibly.

Kupo’s Pepper, otoh, doesn’t need floofy tail power – I’ve seen her eyes 🙂

@Mish you have the cutest kitties! I love the mask on the one on the right.

Adorable doggies, too! I love seeing pics of peoples’ pets.

I am a “like” menace on Facebook when it comes to friends’ pets or children.

Love these! I’ll play.

“Has had sex before.
Won’t have sex with ME!”

“Wants to have sex.
Believes she should have some say over whether she gets pregnant.”

“Shouldn’t take job since it should go to deserving man.
Also shouldn’t stay home being supported by husband.”

“Exists where I can see her.
Refuses to change her appearance to suit my personal taste.”

@dreemr – the kittehs say thank you :). Shiro is a Norwegian Forest Cat, so he is a very handsome fellow. And I know what you mean about ‘liking’ animals, kids, etc. – I’m the same.

@WWTH – lovely to see your two again. They’re just beautiful (and have the coolest names).

@Scildfreja – … that level of sheer adorability should come with a warning. I almost died.

Scildfreja, no – no flowers for people who wantonly throw around dangerous kitten images. Instead, you get Mei-Mei’s tummy, complete with excellent reading material:

@Imaginary Petal, @Policy of Madness
Andrea Hardie? Suspended from Twitter?!

First the Canadian academic system refuses to allow her to be a professor.

Now Twitter–Twitter! Supposedly open to all!–has suspended her.

They’re just jealous.

I think my favourite part of this site is seeing all the cute kitty pics and videos that get posted! I live under the thumb of an eleven year old black and white grouch myself and I never get tired of seeing other folks’s cats.

@Tosca

I read The Myth of Male Power (one of Warren Farrell’s finest) before I’d ever heard of MRAs, and that was one of the (many) logical inconsistencies that leaped out at me. His point was that Men join the armed forces and the police to defend women and children, and this proves…something.

Of course, what they’re defending the women and children from is other men.

Right!

And speaking of Warren Farrell, he lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was perusing a free local SF magazine a few months back, and there was his picture, taken at some event. This guy gets to have his picture in the media just like he’s some respectable author and therapist and not at all a proponent of pedophilia.

PS: I just went to his Wikipedia page. He’s got a photo with Robert Redford. I’m gonna give Redford a pass on this one. I don’t believe he knows what Farrell really is.

PSS: He chairs the White House Council on Boys and Men??? Do the people at the White House know how to do an Interwebz search? WTF.

@varalys the dark – this is indeed one of the best things about this blog, I agree. I read quite a number of similar ones, but I’ve only de-lurked here, and the kittehs are a big reason 🙂

@Oogly:

OH MY GOD THEY’RE SO SILENCED THEY’RE MAKING A MOVIE ABOUT IT.

None of these people are silenced though I’ve seen basically all of them either quoted or interviewed in legit articles and they never ever shut up on whatever platforms they have.

Will this be the wettest fart since The Sarkeesian Effect?!
