I skipped Memeday on Friday, what with Brexit and all, so let’s have a manic Memeday Monday instead.
The somewhat bewildering meme above was recently posted to the A Voice for Men Facebook page, along with a brief explanation of what the meme-maker was trying to get at.
Without looking at the explanation, can you guess what on earth it might be? Take the following quiz and see!

Well, that was weird.
I got it right. Send halp.
Well, it makes sense…many young men can’t find the clitoris either…
(I’m sorry! That was awful, but I couldn’t resist. I’ll go back to lurking now^.^)
Before the quiz loaded I was sure it was going to be about women being narcissistic and navel-gazing.
Surely “navel-gazing” is what the stock photographer meant?
LOL. All the answers could have been jokes. Remind me again how looking at a woman’s belly button is putting her on a pedestal….? Why are all these graphics so unrelated to the “point” being made, and why are they always so weird and random? Not that I expect sense from a “movement” created by Paul Elam.
I won’t use the “they never got laid” explanation because it’s likely wrong, and because with current porn access one have to be truly
I will take “they took a somewhat related stock photo” for 200€, please.
*one have to be truly clueless to never have seen female genitalia.
I thpught the eye was supposed to belong to awoman?
A quick Google shows there are literally hundreds of pictures of women on actual pedestals they could have used!
Navel gazing. What do I win?
Pro Tip: if you have to explain a visual metaphor, it doesn’t work.
My guess was going to be ‘navel-gazing/self-absorbtion’ but of the assembled guesses, I went with the bottom one as the most MRA-ey.
Cunnilingus is gynocentrism?!
Gynocentrism looks like a man staring intently at parts of a woman’s naked, faceless body? Huh.
What is their obsession with women being ‘on a pedestal’ anyhow?
My guess is that the man is looking through the woman’s navel at a fetus–a fetus HE created that belongs to HIM–that the woman is about to abort OH THE FEELZ…
(signs) I’ve been reading too many manosphere posts.
Here’s a woman on a pedalo

Ummm… I meant “sighs”, not “signs”. And of course I didn’t notice my mistake until after the edit window closed…
I think the pedestal thing is so overdone, we should start using plinths.
I think the stock photo was meant to be of an expectant dad.
Having gotten over being oppressed by women’s sexy butts, MRAs are now discovering the terrible oppression caused by women’s belly buttons.
If I ever get pregnant, I would really prefer that the other parent-to-be not put their eye 3 inches from my belly and stare.
Isn’t navel gazing supposed to be at your *own* navel?
@ CPphazor
It really upsets them how occasionally, in some situations, they experience social pressure not to treat women like trash, and backlash if they do so anyway. They perceive this as the height of unfairness.
Navalcentrism. Butts, breasts and now navels, who knew I’m just so powerful? I walk in a room and men and boys just bow before me? I’m going to get my male harem with scented effin candles, hard chairs and v neck sweaters before a blink of an eye!
This a copy and paste from them on what the meme means:
Anyone else want to bet that 99% of the manosphere has never been on a battlefield outside of Call Of Duty?
And it’s so hypocritical that these a-holes are mad that people are looking at them and men and boys in general as uncontrollable rapists and perverts but they excuse themselves all the time saying its biology and its feeeemales fault.
@Kootiepatra
That was my thought, too.
In good news: SCOTUS has struck down Texas’ new abortion bill, saying it causes undue burden on women seeking an abortion.
@Fruitloopsie: Of course they’re couching their language in terms of “respecting women”, because even they know if they were upfront about what they mean, they’d get told the truth that they just hate women.
