Don't need no studies, treat them with respect, consideration and fairness like you expect to be treated, manners and politeness go along way also.

Don't need no special class if you have ears and listen to them as also.

It's not a bad example. It actually illustrates quite clearly how popular culture influences how women are portrayed by men in society. Where did my friend learn his attitude towards women? Its in the culture all around him.

Unfortunately, DV in our society is prevalent. 3 women die each day at the hands of their partner, and memes/pictures like these only perpetuate the cycle of violence.

That's some mental gymnastics there. It's pretty plain to me that it promotes the idea that women belong in the kitchen.

It is what it is, which is a garbage meme that's sexist.

I know I'm going against the grain here but I don't care. I really don't.

I also went to women's studies in university. Honestly, it was an eye opening exoerience.

Two students in the class stopped coming mid-semester because of their boyfriends. One of them interupted class to tell the professor in the hallway that she could no longer come because her boyfriend threatened to beat her if she continued coming. She was in tears and my interpreter had to go in the hallway to calm her.

Women studies ought to be a requirement for high school classes. Our society would be better off.
No it's not mental gymnastics. Let me simplify it for you:

* if somebody seriously thinks women do belong in the kitchen, then they wouldn't laugh at it, because there's nothing funny about a serious belief.

* if somebody doesn't think women belong in the kitchen, then they laugh at the absurdity of it.

Not hard to understand why your female friends just want to be "friends".

Not an insult. Just an observation buddy.

That's all most of us ask at least us that are into men. I don't know what the LBGQ community prefers beyond maybe total chaos? We aren't your enemies.

It's called satire, bro. Have you never heard of it? The picture is very obviously a piece of satire.

Just an observation... you don't seem to be able to detect satire. Not everyone can. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Us, who is us? You don’t speak for me. Speak for yourself in terms of your own experiences.

Actually, it's not everyone can detect sarcasm. Specifically, people with a lower IQ have a harder time picking up on sarcasm.

While the opposite is true for satire. People with lower IQs can pick up on satire.

Okay, so you have a higher IQ and therefore can't detect satire. Either way, you don't understand the humor of such a picture, and misinterpret the joke as being "haha women belong in the kitchen".

I said most hon don't get twitchy and I separated out the LBGT segment. I never assumed which you are and can't give a **** because in the end it's about equal treatment for everyone.

Well at least we are in agreement about the mistreatment of women, but this isn't about that. You take quite a leap & perform some mental gymnastics yourself in trying to paint that meme as being abusive to women. Again, people treating each other nice and taking care of each other is not misogynistic.
Hopefully the cases you cite are few & far between in this day and age, but no less sad. Most of the men I know are well aware of who the boss is at home and many of the single guys want no part of a relationship because of today's views towards men.

The Taylor Swift publicity tour has intruded on all aspects of my internet experience. I want it to stop.

Don't hate Kelce hate Pete and John and stop accepting mediocrity. They could have drafted both easily that's what is pissing me off. We already have a loser franchise the Mariners so please get rid of everyone and start over already.
We got fans that I feel the same way-Just get rid of them
