        How am I a sexist POS for correctly guessing the answer?

          well when telling said joke you interrupt the subject with the punchline before they answer.

          you can also replace the question with any oppressed group and any profession.

          e.g. What do you call a black man orbiting the moon in a spaceship?

      The meme is already calling men simple, but you absolutely still have to perform the required mental gymnastics to find a sexist angle to criticize here?

              You have a means to stop society from oppressing people based on gender? And you’ve kept it to yourself?

          Presumably its a man texting excited about his plane, and presumably nobody else would care.

            See I presumed the exact opposite, that it was the man sending the pic. So since no one actually knows which person is supposed to be the man, again we ask, what does this meme have to do with gender?

                Obviously I disagree, but since you didnt make an argument, I don’t feel the need to justify my belief either. Read it again, they could both be men for all we know. Actually all three options are equally likely imo. Which is why it needs more context to make any sense.

                  They could also both be women, which IMO is the funniest scenario.

                  That’s not as funny though. Why would you intentionally read it in the least funny way possible? So you can be upset?

                    And again I disagree, all possible gender positions are equally possible and equally funny, given the context. None of which are actually funny, but certainly cute enough for this community. And who said I was upset? You’re obviously projecting, so the real question is, why does my opinion upset you so much?

                    Exactly this, they have all the context they need and they’re still sitting here spinning about the post being about men (arbitrarily or not).

                    The odd upvotes on their later comments are also odd. Very weird to be ratio’d so hard and then reverse that trend by making exactly 0 changes to your point. Could be bots

          Men are simple, really

          Yes it sure is difficult to see the context here. So very difficult.

          Does it frustrate you that two men had this ‘conversation’? Would the meme have been better if it said women? Would your feelings have remained intact?
