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.

What I gather from this is that me ane OP are not talking to the same people you are

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.

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

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

[–] apotheotic 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

We'll keep this up this time but in the future please avoid reactionary content. Thank you

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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?

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] graphito@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Responded in matrix DM

Everyone gets to post one reactionary meme, please choose carefully!

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

This isn’t reactionary though.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Well, one can interpret the meme many ways, including reactionary. I agree with the view @snooggums@kbin.social presented.

Yasss, slay king

[–] snek_boi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year 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?
