    Pointlessly gendered?

    Everyone loves candles. Some guys are just pointlessly insecure about candles being a “girl thing”. I’ve also known girls that love the smell of gasoline. People be what they are regardless of their lower bits.

      Yes, from personal experience I have known a gendered reversed version of this, only.

        A meme, like any piece of text, is not above or below criticism. This one unnecessarily perpetuates old fashioned and ridiculous stereotypes of gender roles. Hence the critcism.

            Apparently you do, because you can’t stop making childish, derisive comments in lame 4chan lingo against any kind of criticism.

            Oh no, people here aren’t forced to like you even though you’re acting like a childish asshole. Playing the world’s smallest violin right now. Free speech goes both ways you ham freebaser.
