What men did you talk to, because in my experience most don't shut up about how they are strong and independent
You must mostly be talking to douchebags.
I could definitely take a black bear in a fight. Brown bear no, but definitely a black bear. Oh and maybe a wolf or cheetah. 100%
What I gather from this is that me ane OP are not talking to the same people you are
My wife helped me find my tools and sort my clothes. Without her, all my stuff would be a giant pile. Clothes, tools, kids.
"Honey, can you bring me the medium sized one from the kids pile? You know, the one with the blond hair? I want to bring her to school today. Oh and have you seen my car keys perhaps?"
Men do everything for themselves? HAHAHAHAHA
.... because the default assumption is they, whereas historically the default assumption for women has been different.
I honestly thought this meme was making fun of the assumptions that women aren't able to take care of themselves and men are obligated to take care of everyone else without recognition because of the context of the movie the image is from.
Apparently not...
It might have been - who knows.
At this point it's just text on a picture
Can’t tell if serious or sarcastic.
Men don’t do everything for themselves.
Some do, but many women do as well. Living alone can suck for both 👍
How about global supply chains for food and clothes? How about the social systems such as healthcare and education? How about infrastructure like the internet or roads? Does each "independent" man do it all on their own?
It's sarcastic
We'll keep this up this time but in the future please avoid reactionary content. Thank you
I'm asking because I'm genuinely interested in understanding, it's the first time I stumbled uppon the word "reactionary content" so I had a look what it means https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactionary which in this context probably means:
In popular usage, reactionary refers to a strong traditionalist conservative political perspective of a person opposed to social, political, and economic change
Is the reactionism here in this meme that it through comedy tries to ridicule the "strong and independent woman" and thus promotes a political perspective of the patriarchy? Or am I now reading too much into it?
That’s basically it yeah
Congratulations, you have met a communist. This mod sounds almost like a satire of socialist thought-police.
edit: I was inspired to make c/mods
Responded in matrix DM
Why not here tho?
Everyone gets to post one reactionary meme, please choose carefully!
Is this a real reply or trolling?
People admitting they didn't know something and then spelling out how they now understand it once someone gives them the heads up is obviously not trolling.
What? I was asking if the mod was being serious about removing yhe meme. Are you seeing my comment as a reply to yours up in a different thread?
Apparently I lost track of the indention on the tree view and thought you replied to jeena, whoopsie!
Well, one can interpret the meme many ways, including reactionary. I agree with the view @snooggums@kbin.social presented.
I love it when people make memes with the sole purpose of making fun of women. It's so 1920s.
Ok, I didn't see the movie yet, I just assumed this is a funny quote from the movie.
Honestly, it definitely tracks with the humor/satire of the film, so you’re not off base
Eh, I cooooould see this being presented in a sarcastic, self aware way I suppose
It works at a certain point of his character arc for sure
And they use a character who's entire fictional persona is making fun of them. It's conservatives agreeing with Steven Colbert all over again.
Alternate title: “A man child realizes that society imposes roles on people based on gender and throws an ill-advised tantrum about the roles assigned to him.”
A male human is pretty much solely judged on his ability to be strong and independent. Men crowing about their prowess in those skills is pretty much the basis of the human mating ritual for as long as we have existed.
In the past 100yrs we have been eroding the strictness of those roles and women are now also allowed to take pride in those characteristics.
Ken needs to sit the fuck down now.
I question whether anyone who does not believe that men being judged solely on their ability to be strong and independent is every bit as much an injustice as women being all but forbidden from being those things can truly call themselves a fighter of the patriarchy.
You'll never hear a man brag about being strong and independent?
Talk about a basement dweller perspective...
Yasss, slay king
How about global supply chains for food and clothes? How about the social systems such as healthcare and education? How about infrastructure like the internet or roads? Does each "independent" man do it all on their own?
What if I told you the joke wasn't that [gender a] does everything for themselves, but that [gender b] and [gender a] do the same amount while [gender a] doesn't break an arm jerking themselves off about it.
Not my post or joke so hang onto your seething hatred please.
Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
