I know the whole Born Again Men thing is a bunch of bullshit, but this picture, if taken seriously, is basically how I feel.

It’s rather ironic, that when feminists try and state what they believe to be the exact opposite of reality….they end up surprisingly close.

You’d think they’d understand that for satire to work, it has to be both funny and somewhat detectable. — Ryking

It’s detectable so long as you can look at it from their point of view. Isn’t that the point of satire? 
And how are men oppressed? I see that the picture is showing a distressed man who is probably down on his luck and feels like crap about life for who knows why, but does that mean he’s oppressed? Maybe as an individual, sure, but not as a gender. That’s the significant difference, here. 
Think about it this way: When Trevor is bad at math, society says, “Trevor is bad at math.” But when Amanda is bad at math, society says, “Women are bad at math.”

    Commentary. And, to a degree, the image, if you interpret it as real instead of satire.
