It’s a play on words. The Straw Man fallacy is where someone invents a fake target to it make it easier to attack rhetorically. Plenty of rightists use straw man arguments to attack the concept of feminism, misrepresenting it to make it easier to vilify. The comic depicts two characters that are the personification of right-wing straw man arguments about feminism, but elevated to a comical level of absurdity. In this case “feminists are recruiting children to help destroy the planet.”
this hits it for me, thank you, I came to the understanding above that I had been painted this exact picture when I was younger, but learned better in college.
I think I was a bit blind to the fact that some people still paint the absurd picture of feminists shown above, I forget how far we still have to go as a species sometimes.
