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

You must mostly be talking to douchebags.

All of my friends are weak and codependent, just how I like them!!

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.

At this point it's just text on a picture

Can’t tell if serious or sarcastic.

Men don’t do everything for themselves.

[–] UnhingedFridge 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It's sarcastic

[–] Bunnylux 18 points 10 months ago

Men do everything for themselves? HAHAHAHAHA

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.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

You'll never hear a man brag about being strong and independent?

Talk about a basement dweller perspective...

[–] [email protected] -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.
