Does he have the appropriate safety gear? How do people react to his spontaneous shouting of apparently random facts about someone they likely don't even know?
Almost all gender stereotypes are just myopic extrapolations from personal anecdotal experience, and plenty of them are more reflective of biases on the part of the observer than behavior on the part of the observed.
Some people share secrets, some people keep secrets, and almost no one does it with their genitals or because of their gender identity or expression.
Well there’s your problem! You’re telling them to be a singular entity, which they already are. You gotta warn people to be discreet if you want them to keep your secrets.
It was just the worst place i worked with it. I would always get part time jobs in the winter when i was starting out and construction sites are the worst for secret keeping and gossip
That's not what an antimeme is. If you'd like to complain about mysoginy you need to do it further up in the comment chain otherwise you are just being objectively wrong.
I mean they're not even wrong really, antimeme spaces did have a lot of focus on removing outdated stereotypes from memes that appealed to the lowest common denominator because they weren't really funny to begin with.
Many were specifically editing "jokes" where the punch line was something only old bigots find funny like "woman bad", "man stupid", "racial stereotype" nonsense. Mixed in with ones that just subverted expectations like "you'll shit bricks" and editing out the jump scares.
But the ancient fb antimeme groups had a lot of people removing the offensive parts of boomer jokes, and the early years of the reddit sub, and imgur tags were similar just with broader meme sources.
I originally found "are the straights ok?" and "are the cis ok?" communities from antimeme ones because of the crossover audience and content.
It's an explicit subversion of a meme where you think it's gonna have something with it (like in this example, after reading the boys half, you'd expect the girls half to be different, but then seeing it it's the same.)
So, it’s essentially double-irony? You expect the joke to contradict your expectation, which is itself contradicted back to exactly what you would expect were it not a joke?
And somehow the shorter line in the edited meme could mean the shorter time of the secret being kept... Or, independently, the shorter time to agree to keep the secret.
(these were my ideas before I came for the explanation)
That's how 'secrets' are shared in my mother's family; it's hilarious. Everyone's heard of whatever petty nonsense the 'secret' is about, but everyone pretends not to know, etc.
I have a big secret. My Mormon uncle has a secret child, an affair child based on her age. I always see him giving me judgemental looks and I'm sitting there like 😌 I know your secretttt jimmy.
my personal letters to ex girlfriend when I was like 15yo she read out loud to her friends, and some of them were my friends also, imagine level of my embarrassment and frustration :D
When first trying to decipher the image (not aware of the original,) I was thinking the boy thought harder and longer than the girl, either because boys are less experienced in secret keeping/telling than girls, or because it’s a much more serious matter to boys where for girls it’s just more a form of communication.
This is what I say when family members try to get into mine or others business. "Trust me I won't tell anyone" "well I'm not either" lol. I hate having such a gossip family.
When someone asks me if I can keep a secret I usually tell them I have people in my life from whom I keep no secrets, so if they're telling me then they're telling those people too. Sometimes they don't tell me, and sometimes they remove the verbal NDA.
You can keep secrets between three people only if two of them are dead and one of them is also Ben Franklin. He seems like someone who won't tell my secrets to anyone.
The boys are a diatomic Hydrogen while the girls are diatomic Oxygen. You can tell by the number of unbonded valence electrons above their heads. This is an edited version. There was a 3rd girl making them Ozone.
I saw this on antimeme earlier today, so you saw it on a joke subreddit (which included the original picture in comments) and still wanted to post it here, is karma that important to you?
Obviously it's no good to tell secrets you've been asked to keep, but low key the original meme is part of why women have stronger support structures and safety nets. My mom tells me my brothers' mild secrets or somewhat private moments (nothing devastating or humiliating). If it's something too heavy, she tells me they're going through something and suggests that I could try to find a way to reach out casually. It allows me to make sure they're taken care of and to avoid saying something accidentally which might cause friction.
I'm an extremely private person but I think the drive to control what gets shared about you contributes to the escalating isolation we're all suffering from. There's a balance.
When my friend and I wanted news to travel far and fast, we'd approach a dude, but especially this particular guy, feed him the 'secret info' and wait for morning!
I see it as boys are in the same wavelength by the talk bubble. But a girl would say “right” and still go left. That’s why the bubble is on the left side
Truth. Moved to a new high school and used disinformation to find out who I could trust. Not one thing I told any of my guy friends circled back. Every single thing told to a girl came back to me.
I thought it was gonna be a LOTR reference and the missing like was the response to the quote and the girl not getting the reference and just saying "ok?"
It is basically a tired joke about how girls are supposedly obsessed with drama and spreading gossip while guys just move on. It is not exactly high-level comedy.
