Holy cow. Despite the underlying subject not being a laughing matter I found this image pretty funny and it gave me a chuckle, then I popped into the comments to basically find a warzone.
Anyone who feels attacked by this and gets defensive seriously needs to take a step back and examine why.
Misogynists: Feminism is oppressing me.
Sane people: Be honest.
Mysoginists: Society hates men.
Sane people: Be honest.
Mysoginists: I can’t get laid.
I’ve consistently found the biggest barrier to getting laid is patriarchal social structures.
From very specific people.
The guy on the right slapping the freezer:
“This baby can hold so many misogynists!”
Which is impressive given their weight class.
I appreciate your posts, Velma. 🫶
I appreciate you, eggpl4nt <3
Wait, what?
Gender relations are a complex and nuanced topic, which means that there are vocla minorities who make it their entire personality to distill these things down to simple memes and argue on the internet about it with each other.
Don’t we all know it. 😅
Side note: you were so close to a literate hat trick, just needed a “they’re”. 😉
Haven’t seen the news this week?
To be fair, the stream of bullshittery is so vast that it’s very easy to miss one specific thing.
It’s American news, so that might be why I haven’t seen it up to today, thanks Velma!
That’s why I asked lol. The conversation around rape has been pretty active this week in the news from multiple stories.
I thought you were referring to some dude whining about feminism, but it’s actually about rape? I’m with the first guy, I got no clue what you are referring to.
There’s been a lot of whining from the manosphere about the Cornell rape case that has been in the news a lot the last two weeks.
https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/08/us/cornell-jane-doe-threats-swatting
I knew about that, but didn’t connect the meme to the Cornell case. The meme has been true for a very long time.
Yeah this just kinda feels perennial to me
Ah, there’s my problem. I tuned out of the manosphere long before I’d even heard it referred to as such.
I’m genuinely happy for you! Protect that peace if you can.
I remember watching some youtube channels around that time who went hard into it over time and they became progressively more off putting to me until I dropped them.
Shame, as I know some actually mentioned real problems faced by the working class initially and that is what I was there for. Then more and more of this anti-feminism bullshit starts appearing for some reason and I lost interest.
Haven’t heard about this until now so this was initially rather confusing. Maybe its a bigger thing in the US.
Definitely bigger here in the US. There was a congressional candidate who was raped while she was campaigning recently as well that’s hit the news cycle this week, too.
There’s a lot of rape here.
No, the rapists have been extensively condemned in popular media and person-to-person conversations here.

That shouldn’t be hard for them
I don’t find that true at all.
Thankfully not, it seems. 🥲
If you don’t want to be hated, stop raping and murdering everybody. I mean… come on.
Guess you are part of the problem too. If you don’t want to be hated stop wars, genocide, starvation, planetary destruction. I mean… come on.
Also, until you start calling it out among your friends, it’s you too
You stop hating me first
No. Hate is the default for rapists and murderers.
What if I just stop one?
Stop one rape or murder? Well, if you are a rapist and murderer and you stop a rape or a murder, depends. Are you stopping yourself? Someone else? So many questions.
Like, if you stopped someone from murdering the Green River Killer, I’d be like “lame”.
If you prevented them from murdering or raping, I’d be like “good job”. Even if you were a rapist and murderer.
But, I’d still hate you.
If you’ve never raped or murdered anybody and you stop someone else from doing so, I’d be like “that dude is alright”.
But, I’d probably not hate you. I would find you… tolerable. Maybe.
“What ifs” are endless, it’s all very byzantine
Thank you for explaining.
Depends on the context.
Constraining your own urges does not count.
Fiddlesticks
Damn. Did the Tates or some other random ass incel group break containment again? I missed that one among the sea of gestures loosely, but thanks for the warning…
Maybe the shipping barrels weren’t as an effective solution as we’d hoped?
I mean, who knew that all-natural extreme toxicity isn’t a solution to their own anachro-regurge selves. 🤷🏼♂️
Probably just velma being velma again…
Rape would just disappear if I shut up, right?
Oh wait….
This is directly referencing a couple of high profile rape cases in the US that have many, many men feeling defensive and attacking Jane Doe and the other victims.

It’s very telling that when rapists are criticised, you choose to take that as a personal insult
The best contraception you could ever have is that excuse for a personality
I mean, not to tell you how to do your job or anything, but if you’re gonna do this sort of harassment campaign, you’re gonna wanna get more than one alt, otherwise it’s gonna be really obvious.
Cry harder.

You’re going to die alone and lonely
Not everyone on lemmy has to end up like you, dude.
Ok.
So many of these!
Same eternal problem: people equal shit and no one can actually do anything about it, but it’s not that important really.
Read also: old people on the bench waste their time arguing on what will or will not happen tomorrow and how life is too unpredictable nowadays, but it certainly wasn’t back then (it was), grass was greener and sky more blue in their youth (no, it wasn’t) etc.

Oh, do fuck off…
Hi I’m a man. The answer is no.
The problems of men and being a man are unfortunately, caused by men. Education and empathy are the only solutions and require men to implement them on one another. Be a bro, be kind
Feminism has nothing to do with the problems of men and more often than not feminism and understanding what feminism is will help the problems of men.

Feminism is the fight for equality for all genders, including men! Thank you for pointing this out :)

Hey. No one is required to consider your bullshit. Ever. Thats not bias.
Thanks, I will continue to not consider your bullshit.
Where?
My apologies, I didn’t realize it was you who posted. I never claimed that, despite how often you repeat it or take posts out of context.
I can link the full conversation again for context.

Fathers have a responsibility to not pass down their rapist tendencies to their children regardless of the weights of the world that we all have to deal with one way or another.
minorkeys
“Do it even if you can’t, or we’ll hurt you!” And we wonder why male spaces are becoming so aggressive…
velma
“or we’ll hurt you!” Where did you get this?
Asking for jail time for rapists isn’t a wild idea.
minorkeys
From the harm your extremist views cause. Demanding ppl do things beyond their capabilities is harm.
velma
Demanding that men stop raping people is asking them for something beyond their capabilities? You have a dismal view of men.
Edit:: I am allowed to recall previous conversations and I’m allowed to express my opinions on those conversations. I didn’t force you to type these comments to me. I will not quiet down in order for you to try to maintain your reputation by allowing these types of comments to be hidden in posts.
As we agreed, I’m not going to engage with you. Can I ask you to do the same, pls? I don’t want to keep having the same volatile exchanges with you.
And yet here you are; engaging.
I don’t think I’ve ever sought out your comments and I can agree to continue doing just that.
Comments on your post.
“Please stop talking to me”
Like there’s a delete button for your comment sir… Lmfao
Even in the Fediverse, men demand that women do their leg work for them lol
That’s not quite was I asked you to agree to. I’m asking that we both make a clear effort not to engage with or respond to each other going forward, rather than simply not seeking each other out. I’m asking for the same boundary from both of us, and I’d appreciate a straightforward agreement to that.
You can block me.
Use the fucking “block user” function and try shutting the hell up.
