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?"

What men did you talk to, because in my experience most don't shut up about how they are strong and independent

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 35 points 11 months ago

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

[-] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 22 points 11 months ago

.... because the default assumption is they, whereas historically the default assumption for women has been different.

[-] snooggums@kbin.social 17 points 11 months ago

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...

[-] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

It might have been - who knows.

[-] thiccdiccnicc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

At this point it's just text on a picture

[-] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

Men do everything for themselves? HAHAHAHAHA

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Can’t tell if serious or sarcastic.

Men don’t do everything for themselves.

[-] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

Some do, but many women do as well. Living alone can suck for both 👍

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 love it when people make memes with the sole purpose of making fun of women. It's so 1920s.

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 6 points 11 months ago

Ok, I didn't see the movie yet, I just assumed this is a funny quote from the movie.

[-] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

Honestly, it definitely tracks with the humor/satire of the film, so you’re not off base

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

Eh, I cooooould see this being presented in a sarcastic, self aware way I suppose

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 11 months ago

It works at a certain point of his character arc for sure

[-] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

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.
