The “alpha-male” era manosphere enjoyers don’t care. This meme is basically ammunition to say “see, we need to end universal suffrage” to their communities

I do deradicalisation work with men I find IRL or online, I think there’s a better way for men, but they’re actively pyoped into voting and acting against their own interests.
Can’t express how many of them (at least in my country) point to memes like this as “see, feminism just wants to shame men, it’s not about equality, I’m gonna vote for (insert Christofascist that wants Handmaiden’s Tale IRL) because he ‘stands up for my rights’”.
The creeps that you mention don’t care that you’re mean to them, they also can’t be convinced to change their political stance, they’re irrecoverable misogynists.
Unless you plan to form an armed paramilitary of radfems (which would be cool), I see yelling about “triggered men” as a pretty bad political strategy, because it alienates exactly the guys that are on the fence and could be convinced to abandon internalised misogyny and become feminists. Feminists already don’t get triggered by this, creeps don’t care.
