And thanks for the poem, The Cat! I have not heard of that poet before...good moral.</p> <p>I couldn't help from adding these two. I saw the weekend one yesterday, and laughed out loud, and then the other one...makes me a little sad! It is a bit strange the idea that girls "dream of weddings" before puberty--I sure didn't.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406355 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 01:33:54 +0000 kellygirl 2406355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the chuckle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406349 Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:51:59 +0000 Janet 2406349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find them amusing! Turning the tropes on their head. It shows how ridiculous and demeaning those ideas are when applied to women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406336 Fri, 13 Feb 2026 22:04:50 +0000 The Cat 2406336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"If people find it off-putting that these things are said about men....perhaps they should also find it off-putting that they are said to women?" </p> <p>Good point, Carol! Thank you for sharing these funny AND thought-provoking memes. </p> <p>The memes and some of the reactions to them remind me of the following "grook" (short, philosophical and humorous poem) by the Danish poet, mathematician, inventor and designer Piet Hein (1905-1996):</p> <p>"Taking fun as simply fun<br /> And earnestness in earnest<br /> Shows how thoroughly thou none<br /> Of the two discernest." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406317 Fri, 13 Feb 2026 05:40:58 +0000 Bijou 2406317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are hilarious - thanks for posting. Love the one about being "the right woman for the job."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406285 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 23:08:13 +0000 LJP 2406285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see the irony :).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406255 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 16:06:15 +0000 cat2 2406255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406246 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 14:32:14 +0000 Jules 2406246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m also a fan! My husband also appreciates the odd one I share with him. We also have an equal marriage and there are certainly other ads and memes about ‘dumb husbands’ I don’t appreciate, but Man Who Has It All sometimes really nails it on a societal satire level. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406237 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 12:58:10 +0000 Carol 2406237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni--these memes are not really about making fun of men or picking on them, unless you consider talking about women's issues as something people shouldn't do.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>They are designed to point out double standards for men and women, by taking statements commonly said to women, or about women, and flipping them to show how ridiculous the expectations or prejudices are. So if a man says he enjoys "womanning the phones at work" in one of these...if it makes him look foolish, it's because we expect the same of women.</p> <p>That's great that you and your husband do everything 50/50. There are still way more women than men that take up the bulk of child-rearing, housework, etc., even when working the same amount as their partners.&nbsp;</p> <p>A lot of people seem to not find these funny, and I'm surprised. I think they are based on statements men actually make.&nbsp; If people find it off-putting that these things are said about men....perhaps they should also find it off-putting that they are said to women? </p> <p>It was funny when Jack Lemmon donned a wig in Some Like it Hot and gave beauty advice to young women...I think it should also be funny for a female scientist to say she likes to have men as "helpers" in the lab. We are not actually turning them into helpers. That's the important thing I think people miss. This is not: "make the men into little helpers!" Just pointing out how much BS gets said/expected of women.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406209 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 03:43:16 +0000 avicennia 2406209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing these thought provoking memes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406205 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 03:17:48 +0000 Jenni NZ 2406205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure? My husband does get upset about some ads that deliberately seem to make men out to be bad at housework or cooking- he is very good at both those things, better than me. An “equal” marriage was important to me. Of course it’s not entirely equal as we are good at different things, but it has also helped to both work in professional positions and earn similarly, I have always felt in our case that the laws here on a 50:50 split of “relationship property” if you separate (not that we intend to) would feel very fair.<br /> What do you like about these memes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406187 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 23:35:38 +0000 The Cat 2406187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-battle-of-the-sexes#post-2406152 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 18:29:01 +0000 Carol 2406152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright, I'm taking a chance here...</p> <p>Men Who Have it All is one of my favorite Facebook pages--basically, they take any statement commonly made about women and flip it to men. It is always an LOL moment for me, but for whatever reason, when I share these memes, none of my friends or family react.</p> <p>The page's creators do have a book--Kindle and physical, that I plan on getting.&nbsp;</p> <p>But let me know what you think of these memes.&nbsp;</p> </p>
