The Forward Has a Vagenda — What’s Yours?

Frankly, it’s almost painful to remember a time when we weren’t blessed with the revolutionary concept of “Vagenda of Manocide.” For those not yet initiated, earlier this week Twitter user Matthew Foster shared a picture of a Maine gun shop’s sign, colorfully luring customers with the message below.

The Vagenda of Manocide has since rampaged all over Twitter, and someone has taken a domain name, vagendaofmanocide.com, that redirects to the donation page on Hillary Clinton’s campaign website. Whether you’re for the Hildabeast or not, I think all us ladies — excuse me, I mean members of the coven — can get behind a good vagenda. Here are some found floating around the Forward this fine summer Friday, just in time for Shabbat.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news. All donations are still being matched by the Forward Board - up to $100,000 until April 24.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.

The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
