I’m afraid I’m just a little confused. What is that meme supposed to mean? I don’t understand it.

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

Women are male death traps, apparently. It’s a common joke about women ruining men’s lives.

[Beckendorf_Direscope]

It's lighthearted. The guy who made the comic strip was probably sad about being left by his girlfriend and is joking about how people seem to rush into relationships.

[Lilliana_Umbrellascope]

And that makes it less sexist and offensive how?

[Beckendorf_Direscope]

How do you see it as sexist and offensive? I am sorry for posting something you find offensive.

[Lilliana_Umbrellascope]

Thank you for your apology, but it's conveying that an entire gender is equated to "death traps". Putting one group into one box, especially one like this, made to degrade and portray us as evil, is extremely detrimental.

If I said "all men are pigs", that wouldn't be fair, right? A lot of men are good people. Would you want to be grouped in with a few bad apples and be treated as such just because of your gender?

[Beckendorf_Direscope]

I never saw it as saying that all women are death traps. I completely disagree with that statement and to me, this comic is poking fun at men more than women, as guys joke about being rushing starryeyed into relationships only to realize they are unfulfilling.

I didn't mean to post it as a commentary on gender stereotypes and I don't think the person who made it did either. Sorry, again.

Eeh... IDK... That might be fair... Some are just cleaner pigs... Jk...

That literally is the world today.
Calm down, it's a joke. J-O-K-E joke.

[Eerie_Coppernight]

This made me laugh in real life.

As did the original meme. I've heard too much of women who lure men into relationships only to ditch them a year later and bleed them for alimony for the rest of their lives. I know I'm not one of those women, but I'm glad someone can make their existence humorous
.

[Sierepica_Fuzzywalker]

I don’t think the joke is sexist, but I still wouldn’t be making it. Remember that men are called to sacrifice their interests and lives on behalf of women in marriage in the same way that Christ sacrificed himself for the church. So the comparison between marriage and a death trap isn’t entirely off base.

I wouldn’t make it because the comic implies that the male impulse to sacrifice on behalf of female human beings is stupid. It’s not. It is very kind and loving. Would you call Christ stupid for making his sacrifice on our behalf? If not, don’t make fun of guys who want to sacrifice on behalf of girls. Those who do so will be rewarded as Christ is rewarded by our eternal company.

With that being said, the comic can be interpreted the way @Lilliana_Umbrellascope has interpreted it, and her interpretation is indeed a valid one. That’s the problem with art, including comic art. It can be viewed it multiple different ways by multiple different people, and sometimes we need to accept that people view art differently than we do.
