You ever notice these memes are always framed as a man complaining about his partner who is a woman? In a normal world there would be a roughly equal amount of memes framed as a woman complaining about her partner who is a man. What can we conclude from this disparity?
Is it that men are just more likely to whine and complain than women? No, surely this must be a case of women being uptight and not appreciating anything outside their narrow range of hobbies and interests.
I mean, surely this woman's failure to appreciate a complex carpentry/roofing job isn't at all related to the fact that the carpentry/roofing industry is extremely biased towards hiring men and thus women in general have wayyyy less incentive to learn this much about carpentry/roofing unless they are just specifically interested in those things for some weird reason.
I know its a dumb meme, and I am not singling out OP or even this meme, I just want to see more women-complaining-about-uptight-men memes.
If you want to get all the way in, there is nothing suggesting the person who originally posted this is a a man. Just that they are dating a woman and have guy friends.

Dirty Mike or Little Mike?

Fuck that guy!
"You ever notice these memes are always framed as a man complaining about his partner who is a woman?"
If by that you mean just the memes that are framed as a man complaining about their partner who is a woman. Which seems so specific that it's a tautological overly fitted category description.
My mum has no interest in anything like that. She always says it's for my dad to do it. My sister has no interest in any of that.
My girlfriends have always got me to do stuff/ have no interest in any of that stuff. I've never worked in carpentry or roofing.
Most of my guy mates would apprised this post. Maybe somethings are just largely innate and that's okay?
