Good news from a pair of Spanish comedians, “professor” Elisa Garcia Mingo and Anita Fuentes, an article titled, “The use of memes as an anti-feminist weapon permeates younger society”. The geniuses write:

The manosphere is gaining more and more relevance in Spain, to the point that we can already speak of a Spanish manosphere. When we talk about manosphere we refer to the conglomerate of heterogeneous virtual spaces that accommodate a multitude of movements based on the propagation of misogynistic and anti-feminist discourses…

Although it may seem that memes are used in a banal way, their creation and strategic circulation show a very high potential for antagonism, as evidenced by the existence of countless accounts of anti-feminist memes with a high number of followers whose sole purpose is it is to spread anti-feminist ideas through the efficient pills of misogyny that are memes.

We are living a memetic war and memes have gone from being tools of feminist political activism [J4MB: So they’re OK when feminists use them…] to being vehicles of anti-feminism that trivialize feminist vindication discourses and strip them of their original ideological content. Anti-feminist memes have co-opted mechanisms such as humor and irony to challenge feminist arguments, taking advantage of the impunity that these strategies confer on their authors to reframe feminist claims as absurd, ridiculous, and illogical.

Breaking news. “Feminist claims” don’t need to be “reframed” to be “absurd, ridiculous and illogical”. They already are.
