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

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 52 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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.

"Vhat are you... sinking about?"

Learning not to take everything so seriously.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

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

Let's intensify that interaction:

Women prefer meeting bears over men in the woods.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 17 points 3 months 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.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] coacoamelky@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes people disagree with your political opinions. 🤯🤯🤯

[–] lath@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months 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

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.

[–] Jonnyprophet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'd agree with that,

I'd also rue the fact you have to. Hope the majority of you get a break soon.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Jonnyprophet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Damn, 2 months ago? I must have been in a fight with my wife at the time…

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 2 points 3 months ago

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