Could someone please explain what is going on in this image?

There is a man who has come to the conclusion that his/other men's instinct to cater to women is horribly stupid because some part of the societal structure does so already (Men Going There Own Way).
The joke is that the sign's argument is equally applicable to himself and his own self-identified movement.

As with a great many others, he's shifting the blame for his own social/sexual ineptitude onto others. And by "great many others" I really mean modern authoritarian feminists, redpillers, and MRAs. They're united in spirit beneath the banner of absolving themselves of personal responsibility and treating all opposition as intolerable abuse. It's like Romeo and Juliet, except the families are mostly sane, rational, and greatly confused, while the young lovers are all-yan no-dere for each other.

You say MRA but do you mean people that are Men's Rights Activists or the source of the caricature Modern Authoritarian Feminists(capitalized for later abbreviaton) have painted them as?
I ask because MAF seem to be the shakers of feminism in the media now and if enough MRAs are that caricature to disgrace the label MRA then the long reach of MAF in feminism is enough to be known simply as feminists.

I mean I still occasionally hear the Wage Gape being cited that women don't get equal pay for equal work.

This thread always makes me giggle.  Mostly about how horrifying some of the bay watchers are, but that's no different than the rest of life.

That thread cracks me up every time. It's also an example of "a time when it was probably a good thing that the thread owner decided to lock it before it got worse."

I'm not even going to get into the assertion that MRAs are all reasonable people who are being slandered and misrepresented. Though it does help support the parallel, amusingly enough.

Mgtow stands for "Men going their own way", which I have complete sympathy for in theory. But I can't get why any self-professed MGTOW gives a shit about feminism one way or the other. They're unrelated concepts as far as I am concerned.

[GiglameshDespair]

Because they don't live in a vacuum, I would imagine.

[Reelya]

They're only weakening their own case though by linking anti-feminism to mgtow though.

I'd compare it to religious believers who cling to Young Earth Creation science. Religion and YEC are linked, but they don't have to be. Religious types who accept or reject fossil evidence for evolution are 50/50 in the USA for example.

In the same way Men's Rights doesn't have to be anti-feminist, but the water's already polluted so you can't really through your cards in with that lot.

Good, as I was not making that assertion. The assertion is that if you don't consider the people labeled feminist to be shitty for their well-heard assholes you should do the same for mra.
Ya know how a bunch of lay-feminist hate TERF? A bunch of lay-mra hate PUA. It all looks very symmetrical to me with the big difference being who is better connected and won the shit flinging contest.

And uh, I've gone through the whole link before. I'm just shit at debating serious things with people I'm invested in. Good to see it again and get a refresher of course.
edit:The most damning things about it is one of the writers own comments a month after the mentioned edit

Hi Lucas,

This analysis looks at the hourly earnings of all full- and part-time workers. It does not make adjustments for job title, status, and etc. but looks at the issue in the aggregate.

Yeah! How are MRAs any stupider than feminists!? They both seem like a bunch of utterly stupid, loudmouthed, insane, paranoid assholes.

EDIT:
(Come to think of it, that actually applies to just about any group that believes strongly in anything)

[Graknorke]

because ad-hominem is definitely the best way to criticise a group

loudmouthed, insane, paranoid assholes

urge to snark rising

but whatever it is you're trying to say, it's pretty funny how you're going about it. it's like edgy but different

... and here, ladies and gentlemen, we have an example of a person taking an egg and vigorously impacting it upon their own face. What a sight.

Big words for someone will egg all over their face.
