    The vast majority of people do not see problems like this in an internet joke because they acknowledge it as such. I’m not here to “be a dick” or “discriminate/generalize based on gender/sex”; I saw a funny meme and posted it here. If anything the women in the meme are acting like normal people, the same way most people would while the men are busy being stupid. You claim that this mocks women while the boys are the punchline.

    The users above, as far as I can tell, thought that the meme format was sexist and not me. I said “not everything has to be political” as a way of mentioning that this isn’t the sort of response that I expected and that I didn’t intend for it to be interpreted in this way. I do concede that the phrase “political statement” was not the most accurate one to use. Really I should have said that calling something sexist is a pretty harsh criticism to throw at a meme like this and left it there.

    I’m also going to ignore your ad-hominem pseudo-psychological analysis of me where you imply that I posted this meme because of I supposedly lack close relationships with women.
