Ah misandrist memes, just what I needed to cheer myself up.

Next I'll stop by instagram to see misogynist memes to get my full course.

my favorite part, is it's never that the author of the meme is the one who just... picks shitty people. It's always the fault of the entire gender, clearly.

I've met plenty of shitty women, men, and trans folks. and plenty of great ones. It's almost as if being a shitty friend/partner has nothing to do with someone's sex or gender, and it's about their actions as an individual person.

and almost like blaming the entire other gender is the point, because it absolves you of the responsibility of your own choices.

The bottom panel is absolutely correct, except for the "never get married" bit. Just that chapter is wild. Not for the faint of heart but can recommend.

My husband was a champ. He worked full-time and also stayed up at night manually pumping my breast milk while I was sleeping, and he'd wake up with th baby & fed the baby & changed diapers & he cooked meals too! The only thing he didn't do is clean and that's okay cuz I loved cleaning.

I always wonder what kind of point one wishes to make and what kind of responds they expect.

with this post?

it's rage bait. they want to get engagement by playing into grievance stereotypes. and people are happy to respond with either their bias confirmation or their counter-argument.

it's trolling, essentially.

Seems like a lot of trouble could be avoided if people who don't actually want to take on the responsibilities of parenting stop reproducing.

[–] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 1 points 11 minutes ago

Not a lot of people understand what parenting is going to be like before they have kids.

The meme isn't judging all men, people. It's calling out a specific behavior and attitude. Not sure why people are so upset. Unless you actually do this, of course.

My wife is in labor as we speak! Crazy how I'm sitting here this meme feels very reIevant. I aspire to not be this guy.

And you're doom scrolling rather than helping?! Get back to it, slacker!

Congrats, though 😁

Eh it's a long process and not much going on now :-/

[–] SirActionSack@aussie.zone 7 points 17 hours ago

Bullshit. This is stupid, generalising and damaging in just the same way as memes about how women get married and stop having sex.

Those stupid sexist memes are also not about all women.

I dunno, my ex was ok with the kids, and I was able to sleep & nurse at the same time (small boobs) but breastfeeding knocked my libido down to less than zero. Usually I run pretty hot, but while nursing it was like I couldn't care at all about sex, it felt like a chore, and when we did, I had both fear (because childbirth) and had to work just to get to a baseline level of desire at all. I always figured it was a natural birth control thing, nature helping so kids don't come too close together.

Specifically American boomer, and something that's still going on. There was a thread here on lemmy a while ago that was about how american culture is very different from much of the world in terms of how much the father does in the things mentioned here. That a lot of the world have had it kinda even for many decades and some places even centuries.

"I hate my bitch wife" is peak American boomer humor.

Its not. That is what people tell themselves to feel better.
