Lol, this was one of those memes that I almost didn't post because it's playing off of a stereotype for men (taken to an absurd degree for humor), and I thought it might be interpreted as serious criticism.

I was banking on this audience's love for self-deprecating jokes outweighing its discomfort with touching on gender stereotypes. 83% upvotes / 17% down is probably about right.

Usually also the people who laughed will just upvote and move on, where the people who are offended will downvote and then post a comment
