        Maybe we should think about these memes less as complex thought-out statements, and more as reflections of the times they are created in, just like all art.

        I think homosexuality has reached a level of societal acceptance(at least in the west), that it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.

        Then again, some might argue that being against nazis was a societal norm, so being ironically nazi was fine too. Yet here we are now, where being unironically nazi is somewhat acceptable by a large part of the society.

        I wouldn’t say this is an insane take from that person, or misandrist really. I have no other meanings in regards to what that person says, but in this case this is a sensible take.

        The whole meme is about how women are “hysterical” and overly emotional. While men are calm and chill creatures.

        It caters to stereotypes that view women in a negative light. I know exactly zero women who act like this. Most women are calm and chill people as well. Unless you of course call them hysterical or overly emotional, then they can rightfully get a bit mad. You would probably react that way also. It kinda infantalizes you.

        I would as a man, expect my best friend to tell me if he’s moving, expecting a child, or is getting married, within a reasonable timeframe. That is within a couple of months.
