No, it’s not an all-female death metal band or biker gang. It was a phrase on a sign on a gun shop in Maine.

First time I’ve seen the word “vagenda”, and probably not the last.

Enjoy! (I personally think it’s hilarious."

We all do, if we can. Like a mantis who keeps on making the moves while his thorax is chewed away.

Some genius at [hillaryclinton.com](http://hillaryclinton.com) managed to snatch [http://www.vagendaofmanocide.com](http://www.vagendaofmanocide.com) and now it redirects to a donation page for Hillary.

Credit where credit is due. The first time I heard the word “vagenda” it was used by Walter Bishop on a episode of “Fringe”.

Any earlier references?

Not sure if [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vagenda) predates fringe or not.

Everything sounds like a Swedish death-metal punk band these days.

The rest of the Internet heard about this and went “Band Name!”. I, instead, thought “Sci-fi Original Movie”.

I guess manocide is like homicide, but not as queer?

I thought “manocide” was when you were fated to kill someone with your bare hands. (MST3K ref.)

The _Hands_ of Manos was bad enough. Let’s leave other body parts out of it.

Fringe ran from 2008-2013, so the series run was concurrent with the magazine referenced by Digital C. I don’t remember which ep the reference was from but it was shortly after the discovery that Olivia had been replaced by her alternate world doppelganger. (And I love any chance to use the word “doppelganger”.)

Can’t really tell who got it from whom or if it was independent invention.
