Not at all true whatsoever.

The way the meme is sexist is the line "Name one song by [metal band]."

It implies that whenever a woman says they like a metal band, she couldn't possibly just be taken at face value, and her word be trusted, because women couldn't "possibly" like something typically associated with men.

    You're overthinking it: "name N song(s) by $band" is a standard question asked by gatekeepers, it can be addressed to whoever regardless of gender. Not that sexists never use that line, just that it doesn't necessarily imply anything about women in general.

    This particular case is pretty clear though wouldn't you say? Look at the subject.

    The question isn't the misogyny, it's the acceptance of an incorrect answer because the person answering is an attractive woman that's possibly sexist.
