Men’s Rights Posters Now Officially Sillier Than Their Parodies
It’s hard to parody Men’s Rights Activists, because no matter how ridiculous your parody is, there’s a good chance that some MRA out there has already said, or written, or sung, something even more ridiculous already.
Not that long ago, a bunch of Man Boobz regulars set out to parody the bizarre, and often inadvertently surrealistic, posters that have been popping up on MRA sites like A Voice for Men and Artistry Against Misandry. It was hard, but I think some of us managed to come up with posters that were even uglier and less coherent than the originals. I especially liked these two, from (respectively) Cliff Pervocracy and Sir Bodsworth Rugglesby III.
But alas, we have been outmaneuvered by the all-too-serious poster-makers on A Voice for Men, who have managed to produce posters that make even less sense than our silliest parodies. Take a look at this one, which I believe is the work of an Australian MRA by the name of Roger O. Thornhill.
I mean, really. How can we compete with that?
This is an actual poster that some MRAs think will actually win people over to their cause. How, I’m not exactly sure. What exactly about a cupcake with a tiara is supposed to scream “men’s rights” to random pedestrians who might catch a glimpse of this poster wheatpasted to a hoarding while on their way to work?
For more of Roger’s fine work, see here and here.
Man Boobzers, can you do better?
Or, if you’re not up to that Herculean task, could you at least try to explain just what exactly you think Mr. Thornhill was trying to say with that poster of his?
EDITED TO ADD: I have been asked to contribute a poster myself. So here one is. You can find many more hilarious and incredibly ugly posters at ArtistryForFeminismAndKittens and, of course, in the comments below!

Joe, I suggest you google “differently abled”. Then you can find out what actual disabled people think about the term. Protip: not generally positive. It’s an infantilizing piece of bullshit primarily designed to make able-bodied, neurotypical people feel better.
This is the fifth result and the first one written by a disabled person.
Ahoy - Says? Piece of advice - just a titch - the word “mansplain” is meaningness. It is a misandrist term invented by disgusting, vile, internet feminist assholes; it is a meaningless shaming term with no purpose other than to shame and silence male voices that the vile disgusting evil, feminists deem unworthy. I’d avoid the term, unless you want to participate in vacuous, misandrist contentless invective.
Vile bigots.
And this, right here, is why the “take a shot every time Steele says ‘vile’ game will kill you.”
(It’s also why I’m increasingly convinced that Steele is a very, very dedicated Poe. Things like using “disgusting, vile” and “vile, disgusting” in the same sentence, writing clauses so hilariously redundant as “shaming term with no purpose other than to shame,” and doing all of this in a comment ostensibly complaining about other people’s “contentless invective” - it’s too much. It CANNOT be real.)
I really think we should put him in moderation and only let through comments that don’t use the word “vile.”
The word doesn’t bother me; I just think it would be funny.
I just put the word “vile” in the moderation filter. Let’s see what happens.
