My wife helped me find my tools and sort my clothes. Without her, all my stuff would be a giant pile. Clothes, tools, kids.

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.

"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
You must mostly be talking to douchebags.
Oh and I suppose you aren't?
...correct, I am not talking to douchebags
if you meant OP was a douchebag, I'm very confused about why you think that
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
.... 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.
Men do everything for themselves? HAHAHAHAHA
Can’t tell if serious or sarcastic.
Men don’t do everything for themselves.
It's sarcastic
Yasss, slay king
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.
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.
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.
Men don't call themselves strong and independent because society already expects them to be strong and independent. It's not news. It doesn't need to be said. Thanks to the patriarchy, it's unfortunately news when a woman is strong and independent. Even if most of them have been strong and independent for a long time.
Doesn't feel like news to me when women are strong and independent though. I think that's the patriarchy you're referencing, no?
It doesn't feel like news to you because women have been saying it for a long time and you've gotten used to the idea of women being strong and independent. That means the feminist movement has had some success. But there are plenty of men for whom it is news, and plenty more who hear it often but refuse to believe it. That means there's still progress to be made, even if you personally have been converted.
