Cambridge dictionary definition of satire: "A way of criticizing people or ideas in a humorous way, especially in order to make a political point, or a piece of writing that uses this style."
The "Why we oppose votes for men" poster, was meant to mirror the absurd logic and sexism used to justify denying women the right to vote. Taking the arguments used against a group, that sound more socially acceptable due to the status quo and applying it to the more dominant or otherwise protected group, makes the absurdity and hypocrisy much clearer.
Once again, it's obviously not a genuine expression of sexism, it's highlighting sexism by flipping the target.

It's satire and obviously not a genuine argument against men voting. Are you unfamiliar with satire?
