I feel silly. What do you guys find humorous about this post? What does it mean to you?

I'm new to this community, so bare with me.

EDIT: Instead of a downvote, perhaps an explanation is in order. I don't really see the humour in the post in relation to Men's Rights.

How do you know that person isn't just defending the cause because they believe it?

I've seen this pic used on 4chan a lot. It is used to mock men who appear to be overzealously defending women with the implication that they are doing so in order to be rewarded by those women with sex. It can't be taken too literally in most cases on the internet since the woman you're defending is almost guaranteed not to have sex with you seeing as you are usually anonymous and probably live thousands of miles away. But there are cases when it still can be taken literally like on facebook.

The picture would be very relevant in real life imo since it often seems like men will overzealously defend women (ex. pushing a woman, even if its justified, could lead to you getting clobbered by a random guy). It still holds some relevance on the internet but usually as a hyperbole. One's reward for defending women wouldn't be sex but he could be doing it for karma, kudos, female attention etc.

Although not a typical submission I thought we deserve to lighten up the mood in this subreddit a little. I hope you guys enjoy this pic as much as i did.
