Living the dream. Living the dream. Little did feminists know that feminism itself is an MRM conspiracy in reverse psychology to get women to want to be the breadwinners while men stay at home...It is called the "Tom Sawyer Whitewash Syndrome." We sold them the rope by which they hung themselves. Ehhehehehehehe.

But don't worry, men will be doing their part. Remember, being a stay at home spouse is literally the hardest job ever.

Every politician says so when it's women who are staying at home. Clearly nothing will change if it's suddenly men.

To say otherwise would be to state that women are inferior (which is why the job would be hard for them but not for men).

So... stay at home moms are heralded as some of the hardest workers. But stay at home dads? Those guys are lazy fucking drunk assholes that watch TV all day.

If this is the message they are sending, I really have a hard time interpreting it as satire.

Let's play a game of "reverse the genders" and listen to the outcry.

I'm pretty sure the comic itself is meant to be ironic. It's not poking fun at feminists - it's subtly mocking people who think this is what's happening.

Like the rest of the Onion, it's satire and not meant to be taken at face value. It's an intentionally terrible, stereotyped satire of local newspaper editorial comics.

In other words, don't make the mistake of thinking this actually represents the real point of view of anyone at the Onion.

An eerily accurate depiction of rad fems.

Unfortunately, the 40% of women as the breadwinner stat is a fraud in more ways than one. Counted in that stat is every welfare mom and every divorced woman. Which kinda puts things in a realistic perspective. However, a real 40% statistic is this. A woman who is the breadwinner is 40% more likely to divorce a man more than the already astronomically high amount women divorce when they both work or the man is the breadwinner.
