And this one even has a little homophobia sprinkled in.

[-] NIB@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago

I think homosexuality has reached a level of societal acceptance(at least in the west), that it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.

Then again, some might argue that being against nazis was a societal norm, so being ironically nazi was fine too. Yet here we are now, where being unironically nazi is somewhat acceptable by a large part of the society.

And being homophobic is even more acceptable by a large part of the society.

"I barely talk to my friends lol."

"There's a male loneliness epidemic."

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe we should think about these memes less as complex thought-out statements, and more as reflections of the times they are created in, just like all art.

Tagged as "insane misandrist", it sure checks out.

[-] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn't say this is an insane take from that person, or misandrist really. I have no other meanings in regards to what that person says, but in this case this is a sensible take.

The whole meme is about how women are "hysterical" and overly emotional. While men are calm and chill creatures.

It caters to stereotypes that view women in a negative light. I know exactly zero women who act like this. Most women are calm and chill people as well. Unless you of course call them hysterical or overly emotional, then they can rightfully get a bit mad. You would probably react that way also. It kinda infantalizes you.

I would as a man, expect my best friend to tell me if he's moving, expecting a child, or is getting married, within a reasonable timeframe. That is within a couple of months.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 24 points 3 weeks ago

I've now tagged you as "insane misogynist" for the sake of balance.

Stereotypes, get your stereotypes, fresh gender stereotypes right here.

Men who don't marry are gay and woman are always mad at each other over nothing.

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 61 points 3 weeks ago

The guy didn't explicitly say he married a woman, might still be gay.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

My first thought ^^

Also it's not manly to share your life with a friend apparently.

I'm 40+ and a couple of months ago started therapy. I didn't even knew I needed therapy, went with my wife for couple therapy and it quickly turned into personal therapy.

What I learned after some tests is that I fall into the top 4% of men who are emotional closed off. This is pretty extreme, but maybe the worst part is, I never even knew. This is the stereotype we teach boys, men don't have emotions, they don't talk about emotions, etc.

And we wonder why there's a male loneliness epidemic

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks ago

It's because of women hating all men of course.

I had a friend who excitedly told me about their new car but neglected to mention their 6 month old son.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 93 points 3 weeks ago

Keep in mind they call each other bro because in 45 years they don't even know each others names since they met.

Would die for each other tho.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 28 points 3 weeks ago

I have friends that i know for 10+ years and i don't know their real names

And it’s ultimately insulting to men too, like the idea of being excited to share personal news is somehow anathema to the male experience.

[-] tauren@lemm.ee 33 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know how serious one has to take themselves to find this "ultimately insulting". It's a silly meme and it's funny because most men can relate to it.

When offer to go to lunch with someone you haven't seen in 15 years and they respond with as long as its not within 100ft of a school

[-] flughoernchen@feddit.org 30 points 3 weeks ago

Ah yes assuming sexual preference based on martial status, just like friends do.

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, friends assume sexual preference based on other things too. Like the way you eat a hotdog, what kind of car you drive, how quickly you can recognize that the song is by Kyle Minogue, how long you hold a sloppy french kiss with your homies, wether you you sit with your legs crossed or slow down on a yellow light.

[-] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemm.ee 17 points 3 weeks ago

Most of the comments share my distain for this sexist shit "humor." So where are the over 500 upvotes coming from? Who likes this shit?

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

I think it is funny. I enjoyed it because like most good humor, it is a playful exaggeration on patterns that exist on real life. Sometimes those patterns break along racial or gendered lines, and that's ok. You're not a bad person if you think it's funny. I get laughs out of lighthearted humor that pokes fun at men as well.

[-] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Are they really patterns, though? Or is it confirmation bias?

Even early psychological studies from 100+ years ago found that women, on average, feel and react to emotional stresses the same way as men. There are 100+ year old studies on PMS that say women, on average, don't express more anger or sadness prior to or while on a period - and yet we still get hysterical women PMSing memes.

Media can make us see patterns that aren't there. Media can change the way people view the world around them and affect how they behave.

A sexist meme. What's your point? Is sexism okay as long as it uses these meme faces and is posted in a meme subs?

As a woman, yeah i totally accidentally told my bros I got married a few years after the fact. In my defense we eloped and my friends and I sometimes go a few years without talking much

[-] dirtycrow@programming.dev 12 points 3 weeks ago

This is something I don’t like about guys, as a guy.
