DH sent me this meme about women’s football AIBU to be really upset and think it’s horribly misogynistic?

OMG no question. LTB

I'd be worried about his sense of humour.

Is this sudden onset or has he always been a dullard?

TinySaltLick · 29/07/2022 21:58

Depends, is your husband 90+ years old

Holly60 · 29/07/2022 22:01

Isn't it satire? Poking fun at past sexist/misogynistic ideas, rather than poking fun at the women themselves, or suggesting that anyone really thinks this.

That's how I read it.

He’s being a dick head and I’d tell him

DisplayPurposesOnly · 29/07/2022 22:48

Best to assume it means he's falling behind on the ironing because he's been so distracted by the football.

Yup I'd go with this

whenwillthemadnessend · 29/07/2022 22:52

It's a crap meme.

What's that even supposed to say?

XelaM · 29/07/2022 22:53

I find it funny 🤣

supersonicginandtonic · 29/07/2022 22:54

@Holly60 exactly what I thought

Casmama · 29/07/2022 22:59

Depends whether he is generally an arsehole or not. I did chuckle but then my dh doesn't his own ironing

Casmama · 29/07/2022 23:00

Does not doesn't 🤦‍♀️

FuckMeHesFitAintHe · 29/07/2022 23:02

Funny as fuck 🤣

What's funny about it?

Rowen32 · 29/07/2022 23:11

I think it could be taken lightheartedly

BotterMon · 29/07/2022 23:11

Made me laugh.

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 29/07/2022 23:15

I am a season ticket holder and the amount of times we have stuff like that aimed at us is ridiculous. It is such a boring unoriginal joke.

NannyGythaOgg · 29/07/2022 23:24

How threatened is he.

If the men won any game by the margins the women have they would be hailed as supreme heroes
(The) some fucking men can't cope because of their piss poor fucking ego has been threatened

k1233 · 29/07/2022 23:31

I don't get it. Is the ironing the team jerseys? Is it because women are watching footy and either not ironing or saving the ironing to do in front of the telly meaning he'll have to watch women's footy. Is it the footballers should be home ironing? Or as above, he's too caught up in the footy to do his ironing?

Pretty shit meme really. I'd respond Great you've noticed the ironing needs doing - be wonderful if you could get through it over the weekend!

Sisterwinter1969 · 29/07/2022 23:33

It's what is usually known as an ironical statement.
Sorry

AtrociousCircumstance · 29/07/2022 23:35

Sexist and lame. Truly pathetic. I would assume the person to be seriously thick and limited in their outlook.

Suprima · 29/07/2022 23:37

Could not get wet for anyone who thought this funny

SteveHarringtonsChestHair · 29/07/2022 23:38

I would send him a link to the EE ‘Not her problem’ advert, sexist twat.

I couldn't be with such a misogynist
