What's the point of making over generalizing statements like this?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Relatable humor. The women in my life ask me about what I'm thinking often enough that it made me chuckle, mostly because being asked results in forgetting what I was thinking about if it was a passing thought.

In this case it is poking fun at the stereotype, which is true just often enough for it to be funny. Kind of like the memes where the two are in bed and she assumes the worst and he is thinking about Pokemon or something else innocuous.

Learning not to take everything so seriously.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Never take everything everything seriously! 80% of the time!

Let's intensify that interaction:

Women prefer meeting bears over men in the woods.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you meet a bear in the woods today, you met a bear. If all day long all you meet is bears...

you're also a bear.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's a lot of bears. One could even say it sounds overbearing...

Sometimes people disagree with your political opinions. 🤯🤯🤯

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Impossible. Any political opinion other than my own must be garbled propaganda.I can't explain it otherwise...

It's important to poke at those in power to try and level the playing field.

first off, that's a vast generalization
2nd off, that's totally me and my sibling. She's the "learn everything so you can look normal" autistic and I'm the "oo look a worm!! 🪱🥰" autistic

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for sharing the worm.

I just blurt it out when my wife asks. It's always the most mundane, unrelated shit. I'll be thinking about what drove Mike Myer's choice to make Shrek Scottish. That said, she doesn't stress over what I'm thinking about. She's not insecure. She just wonders what's going on in the box sometimes. I'll have that look. My wife is great.

Fun fact: women spend more time refuting casually sexist claims than men spend making them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Do they wonder what men are thinking? Or do they know exactly what they are thinking and it’s the worst case scenario every time?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

This isn't even funny, and I have a great sense of humor! 😡 /s
