Kinda like how when women make advancements to science or technology theres always a man to take credit.
Very true. While my partner does do chores, it is seen that way by some of my family. He is "helping" me. No, he's doing his part of the chores that we both agreed to how it would be divided up. But no it's seen as polite of him to "help" me.
He is good for it but I feel that the fact that I have to say that is evidence of the problem. I don't think the same would be said of me because it's expected.
100%. Women are expected to be grateful for help doing "their" work. It's wrong.
Joke's on everyone else, I've never ironed one item in my entire life. I just don't see the point.
I have, but only for things like a job interview before 2010, or to get a badge in Brownies or something ... complete waste of time with modern fabrics!
I have a very few items of clothing that I'll iron (but usually just steam). But I hardly ever wear them. This is to the point I have no idea where my iron is.
thanks for your comment, but unfortunately this community has a rule that only women are permitted to comment or post, hope you understand 💛
From the thumbnail I thought the guy was ironing his own dick, and thought to myself "yup, sounds about right."
Ugh. Another topic that brings the rats out of the corners. This seems to be almost as bad as #ManOrBear.
We can play bingo with them. "Minsandry! Ban me! Not all man! Male oppression! Passive aggressive dig!"
Weird how men helping with house work are praised for it, yet women helping with providing and finances is somehow an affront to nature to some people.
I don't know. Usually the people who are upset by women as financial providers also criticize men who do "women's work". They don't see the men as a threat to their egos though and don't get as openly angry about it.
I'm stuck on how the irons are different. That feels like an odd choice and I'm not sure if it's a meaningful one. Also, why is the modern man's ironing board so much longer?
She's ironing the tablecloths everyone uses. He's only ironing his own pants
Yes, but why is the iron in her hand different? I'm not sure of the symbolism behind literally different tools.
The USSR was probably the best place for women. There was better division of labor, the stem fields were way more represented by women than anywhere in the west today. To the point that even today in the RF there is still nearly 50/50 gender representation in scientific fields.

I really recommend both of these especially Caliban and the Witch.
I'm not sure if you are understanding the meme or not ... the meme is pointing out a double-standard, that when men do "women's work" like ironing, they are perceived as going above and beyond and doing something praise-worthy, while women are expected to do the very same work by default (i.e. it's not exceptional or praise-worthy for women to iron clothes or other "women's work" because it's just expected of them).
This is a double-standard. Pointing out a sexist double-standard isn't misandry.
