Wait, what?
Ian Ironwood, as he calls himself, is the proprietor of the blog The Red Pill Room. He’s also a big fan of retro art. Alas, he has attempted to combine these two interests, producing a series of baffling “memes” in which he pastes little manosophere lessons on top of artwork borrowed from postwar American magazines and paperbacks.
Here are 9 more of my favorites, pulled from Ironwood’s Twitter stream.
1) “Your sudden newfound support for feminism will do absolutely nothing to get you laid.”
In this meme from last Fall, Ironwood tries to warn any young men who’ve fallen under the spell of Emma Watson that taking up feminism will not entitle them to a harem of sexy feminist ladies. Why anyone would assume that it would is unclear. but evidently in Ian Ironwood’s world, nothing is worth doing unless it’s guaranteed to get you laid.
Feminism: a snooty scientific researcher that doesn’t believe in safety goggles
2) “Always flush it yourself!”
Of course, those fellas who do manage to get themselves laid have a whole other set of problems, one of the most pressing being the ever-present threat of spermburgling. Yes, it’s true (by which I mean “not true”): Women are devious creatures who will sneak used condoms out of the wastebasket in order to impregnate themselves and thereby set themselves up for a lifetime of sweet, sweet child support payments.
So flush all your condoms down the toilet. After filling them with tabasco sauce. And thumbtacks. Then jump out the window and run, run like the wind!
I WANT YOUR … SPERM!
3) “Until shit’s on fire.”
Apparently, anyone whose house catches on fire should put it out themselves.
Not sure the firefighters are going to be able to save this house.
4) “ELIMINATE the dads … and EFFEMINIZE the sons.”
Dads! Defeat the feminazis with Orange Crush.
Nothing puts hair on your chest faster than carbonated beverages.
5) “It’s your son’s best defense against feminism!”
Apparently, being an “active and involved dad” means going after feminism with a baseball bat?
Kid looks a little worried about dad. I don’t blame him.
6) “Real men know their place!”
You know, if you’re trying to get across the idea that feminism is all about women dominating men, you guys should probably stop illustrating your rants with sexualized pictures of dominant women designed to appeal to men with BDSM fetishes. Because this isn’t something that feminists are forcing on men; this is something that dudes actually seek out and sometimes pay a lot of money for.
Your fetishes have spilled all over the internet again.
7) “Don’t help them unless ordered to!”
Apparently the best way to protect yourself from accusations of sexual harassment is to be a giant douchebag.
Bosses love employees who are complete dicks to half of the other employees
8) “Not really a viable Reproductive Strategy anymore.”
Apparently Mr. Ironwood has confused feminism with lesbianism. And confused lesbianism with two women in slinky dresses looking out of two large holes that someone has cut into their front doors. And confused both with “reproductive strategies.” Also, he’s evidently unaware that lesbians can in fact have children.
I have no idea what is going on here.
9) “Wake me up when it’s ok to be a boy again!”
Forget about Ian Ironwood for a second. I just want to know why this poor kid’s hand has been replaced by a dog’s asshole.
