The meme is already calling men simple, but you absolutely still have to perform the required mental gymnastics to find a sexist angle to criticize here?
See I presumed the exact opposite, that it was the man sending the pic. So since no one actually knows which person is supposed to be the man, again we ask, what does this meme have to do with gender?
Obviously I disagree, but since you didnt make an argument, I don’t feel the need to justify my belief either. Read it again, they could both be men for all we know. Actually all three options are equally likely imo. Which is why it needs more context to make any sense.
And again I disagree, all possible gender positions are equally possible and equally funny, given the context. None of which are actually funny, but certainly cute enough for this community. And who said I was upset? You’re obviously projecting, so the real question is, why does my opinion upset you so much?
Exactly this, they have all the context they need and they’re still sitting here spinning about the post being about men (arbitrarily or not).
The odd upvotes on their later comments are also odd. Very weird to be ratio’d so hard and then reverse that trend by making exactly 0 changes to your point. Could be bots
Yes it sure is difficult to see the context here. So very difficult.
Does it frustrate you that two men had this ‘conversation’? Would the meme have been better if it said women? Would your feelings have remained intact?
Personally I read this as saying that the blue messages could be coming from a woman instead of a man like the text in the picture implies but apparently most people didn’t read it like this
You know they let women fly planes now too right?
hey, what do you call a woman flying a plane?
answer
a pilot, you sexist POS
How am I a sexist POS for correctly guessing the answer?
well when telling said joke you interrupt the subject with the punchline before they answer.
you can also replace the question with any oppressed group and any profession.
e.g. What do you call a black man orbiting the moon in a spaceship?
Victor Glover, though he didn’t enter orbit.

It’s not sexist if it’s against men.
Yeah, men are supposed to be tough and not have feelings whatsoever. Duh!
Men are allowed two feelings: Fine and angry.
Really chomping at the bit to find something to be offended at here. Have a sandwich or something.
Not that it matters or anyone cares, but just so you know the expression is “champing” at the bit. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/champing
You are so oppressed.
Ah, so making fun of women is fine if you don’t do it to oppress them? Mhm.
Are these people making fun of women in the room with us?
You have a means to stop society from oppressing people based on gender? And you’ve kept it to yourself?
I assumed the message was from a passenger
They let women on planes now too. What in the world does this meme have to do with gender?
Presumably its a man texting excited about his plane, and presumably nobody else would care.

That makes less sense.
Obviously I disagree, but since you didnt make an argument, I don’t feel the need to justify my belief either. Read it again, they could both be men for all we know. Actually all three options are equally likely imo. Which is why it needs more context to make any sense.
They could also both be women, which IMO is the funniest scenario.
That’s not as funny though. Why would you intentionally read it in the least funny way possible? So you can be upset?

That’s how it read to me, too. Kinda wholesome exchange, really., but some folks just be lookin for a reason to be angry I guess.
This meme never said they can’t.
