Re: Can someone explain this joke? Thanks.

[(Anonymous)]

i suppose, but like the other anon said, you could plug in a lot of groups and it'd be true. you could plug in "humanity" and it'd be true.

i mean, maybe, but they're specifically talking about this group and the specific social standards and behaviors that pertain to them, which are different from those that pertain to humanity as a whole

no one is saying that it's the only group of which this could be said

like you said, if this actually said "social standards" it'd have more of a point, but could be about anything

i don't know what to tell you. i think it's pretty clear to most people reading the meme. the whole concept of "setting the bar" is about standards and expectations. and it's something that's been in the news and the discourse a lot.

also, there's an extent to which this is just a funny meme and not a definitive statement on gender relations, you know

sure. i'm just saying i didnt immediately get that it was supposed to be commentary about societal standards, vs. this person's personal feelings on what they perceive to be an entire gender's general failings

as stated, it could just as easily be a "men suck" joke about someone's personal low standards for boyfriends and how men keep failing them, as someone trying to make a joke about society having lesser behavioral expectations for men. that's all i'm saying
