Feminist Twitter has been known for hilarious hashtag memes — have you guys seen the new #MRAPickupLines trend on the microblogging site?
It’s not clear who started #MRApickuplines, but once it began, the ribbing of men’s rights activists and their notoriously embittered platform of gripes began in earnest on Twitter … and it was brilliant.
From rape to family court to pickup artists, MRA pickup lines brought the social justice funny.
From what we can tell, the trend picked up with a tweet from Franklin Veaux, of the popular polyamory-centric relationship resource site More Than Two, with the tweets:
Your lips say “no, no, no” but my entitlement says “yes, yes, yes.” #MRApickuplines

“Me and my exaggerated sense of injury both think you and I would be great together.” #MRApickuplines

“I desire you greatly. And isn’t it about time men got what thy wanted for a change?” #MRApickuplines
— franklin veaux (@franklinveaux) March 4, 2014
Soon #MRApickuplines were about as prolific as men’s rights activists believe women who deliberately become pregnant to receive child support slutbucks are, and the tweets rolled in:
@franklinveaux Do you have a mirror in your pocket? Because all I see are my own needs and desires. #MRApickuplines

@chaosprime @franklinveaux The injustice of the US family courts is nothing compared to the injustice in my pants. #MRApickuplines

.@franklinveaux Hey girl, are you a birthday present? Because I think you’re a prize I deserve for having been born. #MRApickuplines

@franklinveaux girl, you’re like a father in family court, cause what you want doesn’t matter #mrapickuplines

Dr. Pepper through the nose for this one:
Girl, you must be a false rape accusation because you’re all I think about. #mrapickuplines

Because:
“Hey, baby. You’re not like all those other girls. You know, the ones with agency.” #MRApickuplines

And:
Hey, wanna stay up all night makin’ babies with me, and then spend eighteen years raising them all on your own? #MRApickuplines
— VoltSL (@VoltSL) March 5, 2014
Hey baby, men are biologically programmed to use you for sex even if you don’t want it, wanna come back to my place? #MRAPickupLines
