    First time I hearing any one read this from it. Clearly it has resonated across online communities. I’ve never heard of a woman complain about it.

    I know it this gets used to minimize abuse and discrimination but here it is just a joke…

      What is the joke supposed to be, if not women being overbearing and jealous? I genuinely don’t know how else you could read it.

        So i am pretty sure this is like any other meme where picture matched the content so it was used. I don’t even think this is playing on any gender stereo types. I guess it is good to have these discussions but I think you are reading too much into it.

        It is a meme and I am sure there that meme content does not discriminate based on gender or otherwise (excluding fringe, who try to make their brain dead ideas spread via this popular medium) as there are plenty of memes putting “men” into “negative light” to make a joke.

        For example, would you bring up this issue for the Scumbag Steve meme?
