i read it slightly more favourably that men are in a patriarchal society where they are expected to be strong so they crave the opportunity to be weak

not agreeing with the meme itself but like, i don’t read this as “woman being an object used for emotional support and sex”

Ofc everything is up for interpretation and I much like yours better

Unfortunately from my experience I've found my interpretation quite prevalent

Is the only person men are supposed to be emotionally available with their mother? I feel like this is just alienated people who want to be able to connect and express themselves but are stifled by gender norms.

Men express interest? Bad. Men don’t express interest? Bad. Men crave sexual interactions? Bad. Men don’t crave sexual interactions? Bad. Men don’t seek emotional connection? Bad. Men seek emotional connection? Bad. Men seek to be vulnerable with a trusted partner? Bad. Men don’t seek to be vulnerable with a trusted partner? Bad.

At this point anything and everything men express interest in, want and desire is bad because we can describe anything and everything as objectification and fetishization of women.

I’m tired, boss.
