Feminists aren’t saying that men are trash. They’re saying women should be equal. Some men hear that and feel attacked, thinking that feminists are calling them trash.
This meme isn’t funny, it just reveals what you think feminist arguments are about. You think they’re about you.
It bears clarifying that feminists aren’t saying women are equal to men, but that they should enjoy equal rights and opportunities. It’s always about the rights.
As you pointed out, OP’s post exhibits a stupid reductionist ad absurdum argument that no feminist argues. These idiots always leave out the important “equal rights,” or “equal under law” or “equal opportunities” part to misrepresent the position as mockable.

Reductio ad absurdum is a valid proof by contradiction.
This post is more like a strawman fallacy.
