Irony is a tricky thing. And it serves some arguments better than others: it's not an accident that Austen was a genius with irony while Wollstonecraft was a clumsy ironist.
The photo below is of an Occupy protestor. The thing is, is the irony intended? That part is you're call. But, no matter what his intention is (that is whether he said the stupid thing knowingly or without realizing it was stupid), the thing blows up in his face. It's very hard to make irony work for a radical cause.
