#PissForEquality, the latest prank from the image board site 4Chan, has reportedly caught clueless people on social media. The prank, which aims to make a fool out of feminists, instructs unwitting participants to piss themselves to show their support for gender equality.

According to Info Wars, an anonymous poster on the site said, "What if we somehow get Tumblr tards to publicly piss/shit their pants in the name of 'Equality.'"

In a related report by Right Wing News, the hoax movement was created at 4Chan on Oct. 2 and took off from there. And in just a couple of days, it did not take long before supposed feminists fell for the prank.

And as reported, numerous feminists on Twitter were posting images of their stained or soiled pants in order to show their support for "rape victims" who allegedly, defecated or urinated while being sexually assaulted.

Reports are saying that the humor comes from supposed "social justice warriors" being so gullible and falling for a very ridiculous act.

Legal Insurrection reported these kind of pranks usually spread when a hashtag of the joke is attached to popular and well-trafficked ones.

However, this was not the first reported case of 4Chan trolling feminists. If some may recall the disgusting "free bleeding" movement, in which feminists would post pictures of themselves showing menstrual blood running down their legs in order to oppose "period shaming."

4Chan is a site known for its outrageous and at times malicious pranks that usually target unsuspecting people. The site has also been linked to a wide range of Internet subcultures and activism, notably the hacktivist group, "Anonymous."

The site was also been instrumental on hacking various websites either as a prank or as a form of protest with the 4Chan community being described as "lunatic, juvenile, brilliant, ridiculous and alarming."
