They let women on planes now too. What in the world does this meme have to do with gender?

    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?

    That makes less sense.

    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.

    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

    Yeah, maybe a bot gave me that one vote 🙄 . I didn't change my point because I still believe my point. Not sure what you expected there. And if you could point me to where I was "ratio'd", that'd be super helpful lol. All my comments in this thread are positive 🤷‍♂️. I think you must be assuming that only one person is posting these opinions, which is incorrect, but I could see how acting under that incorrect assumption could lead you to think I'm a bot.

    IMO all three quantum gender positions are equally possible and equally "funny" (read: cute, not actually funny), making the reference to gender confusingly pointless. So again again we ask, what does gender have to do with it? Without more context, the answer is nothing.

    To be clear, I'm not offended by it, I don't even think the statement about men is inaccurate or mean-spirited. I just don't know what it's supposed to mean contextually and it makes the meme experience worse🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. As I said earlier, it's still wholesome, just needlessly confusing.

    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?
