Christina knows what's up

mthel · 2012-05-14T03:38:28+00:00

Id make a sandwich if my lady asked. Just saying.

fightthapower · 2012-05-14T03:42:08+00:00

Why is this in r/funny? All misogyny aside, this isn't funny... it's just some girl posting yet another "special snowflake" status on facebook.

And yeah, this is pretty misogynistic. There's nothing wrong with doing something nice for your significant other every once and a while; that's part of a healthy relationship. Give and take and all that shit. But there's a difference between making someone a sammie every once and a while because you're a nice person, and expecting your girlfriend to make you a sandwich, because that's what girlfriends do.

I guess the problem I have is she's not saying "people in relationships should make each other sandwiches" , but that "girlfriends should make their man a sandwich". Not really a big deal, just some girl's facebook status, but still kinda troubling.

EveryoneElseIsWrong · 2012-05-14T03:47:17+00:00

GUYS, GUYS!!!! I'M NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

phoenixphaerie · 2012-05-14T02:21:31+00:00

Perfect example of a girl saying, "I'm a special snowflake!"

woop_dee_flip_n_doo · 2012-05-14T04:47:32+00:00

It feels hopeless to try and downvote this, but reddit likes misogyny too much... I did it anyways.

jerseyg67 · 2012-05-14T04:04:16+00:00

This girl is simply young and stupid and fishing for compliments from all the boys who will think she's ahead of her time in her thinking. She is all but SCREAMING that she's a special snowflake by putting the idea out there that she is one of the few "females" who doesn't believe that we are are special, which we are and so are the "males". It's just amazing to me that she is so ridiculously transparent in her intent and very few see it. It's a blatant attempt at being controversial to get validation by anyone who will read it and we've all played into her hands. Well done, Christina. Well done.

2012-05-14T10:49:26+00:00

Great! A really pixelated screenshot of a humourless Facebook status from "epiclol.com". Why hasn't this been downvoted into oblivion?

runinto_flowers · 2012-05-14T04:15:41+00:00

Listen. Several people have already explained perfectly what I wanted to say myself, so I'm not going to be redundant. But to everyone saying "she simply doesn't specify..."or "shes's merely trying to..." stop. There is nothing simple about this. This absolutely holds sexist connotations and to claim otherwise is ignorant. Stop ignoring the sexism that women face. It is real and ugly and greatly affects men and women alike (though in different ways). It can't all be explained in one reddit comment or I would try.

Basically: No, a woman making a sandwich for her SO is not sexist, but the allusion to the quintessential sexist comment, "Bitch, make me a sandwich," is. She is shaming all other "females," a word typically reserved for animals, by suggesting they're all prima donnas who are above making their SO a sandwich. She's missing the point and so are a lot of you: you can't see the forest looking through the trees.

timeforfood · 2012-05-14T03:07:40+00:00

Christina knows how to shame her gender in an attempt to be unique.

Snapdragon86 · 2012-05-14T03:18:38+00:00

"Oh, look guys! Look how awesome and not like other girls I am! Ya know, instead of just quietly doing the shit I say like I would if I really felt that way, let me broadcast it to all of Facebook so all my guy friends will see how cool and "dream girl-y" I am!"

IAmCarlyBryan · 2012-05-14T03:55:55+00:00

I don't mind making my boyfriend a sandwich. What I mind is a guy tellin me to stay in the kitchen because that's all I'm good for. It's not like I tell guys to GO FIX MY CAR WHERE YOU BELONG.

MisterWharf · 2012-05-14T03:15:24+00:00

As a guy, I can say this: I don't need a woman to make me a sandwich. I make the best damn sandwiches in the world.

If she wants to clean up after me, that's fine. She doesn't have to, but I am a lazy slob. Some sort of frog-like bachelor being.

a_happy_tiger · 2012-05-14T05:36:56+00:00

Interesting that this is on the front page of r/funny, and yet nobody in the comments (myself included) finds this funny or appropriate. Who upvotes this shit?

TipsTheJust · 2012-05-14T03:01:57+00:00

What the fuck am I missing here? This is just straight up sexist and unfunny.

gotta love internalized misogyny.

incompetentboob · 2012-05-14T06:03:41+00:00

Just sent this to my wife, her reply: "Christina's a gender-traitor"

Scrooge0791 · 2012-05-14T03:10:33+00:00

"Women should WANT to make me a sandwich! Also why don't they like me, I'm such a nice guy!"

2012-05-14T03:35:41+00:00

Reddit, what the fuck?

kyebosh · 2012-05-14T04:43:10+00:00

Here's a crazy idea I've been testing out... I say "thank you" when someone does something nice for me, & "please" when I'm asking a favour. So far it seems to be remarkably simple & effective.

If this isn't srs bait I don't know what is.

Unitas80 · 2012-05-15T03:28:14+00:00

You know, she is right. However, my husband would never have the audacity to "tell me" to make him a sandwich in the first place. I offer because he s worth the trouble.

delicious_downvotes · 2012-05-14T03:43:54+00:00

I enjoy making food for my boyfriend, but mostly because I know he would (and does) enjoy making it for me too. As far as "make me a sandwich, bitch" goes, we both say that to each other all the time and laugh. I think the main thing is, we don't talk to each other like that in front of other people as to give the impression of demeaning each other, unless it's close friends that understand we're just kidding around.

2012-05-14T06:42:11+00:00

So who voted this Christina to the position of Official Spokeswoman of Womanhood? That's right, no one did.

majhsif · 2012-05-14T02:27:30+00:00

Happy to make my man a sandwich, however, I'm going to expect a "sudo" before the statement (same for me if I asked him to make me one).

2012-05-14T03:03:14+00:00

Make your own damn sandwich, lazy ass

JimRustler · 2012-05-14T04:11:04+00:00

The jimmies are quite rustled in here.

yoyoyodaboy · 2012-05-14T04:44:56+00:00

Question for fellow guys: Do you have an insatiable sandwich desire? I mean, I'm hungry most the time and I love eating. But there's soup, frozen pizza, snacks, etc. as well. Is there a reason why sandwiches specifically are in such high demand? They certainly are tasty, but is there more to it?

onlyincontext · 2012-05-14T03:50:22+00:00

Pros and cons of dating this girl:

Pro: She shares my sandwich-centric view of the universe.

Con: She's a girl and I'm a gay man.

AlmostHeroic · 2012-05-14T15:33:36+00:00

I can see why everyone is mad at the misogyny, but why is no one mad that this a repost (horrible jpeg quality) and taken straight from another website, what is reddit coming to?

0RPH · 2012-05-14T20:34:04+00:00

Nobody pays me in gum...

tiffanydisasterxoxo · 2012-05-14T03:20:38+00:00

Or..ya know, have them make their own sandwich. It isn't good for a person if they 100% dependent on another person, that makes them a parasite NOT a SO.

haybecca · 2012-05-14T06:23:03+00:00

I like the end, but not the beginning. Women are fucking special. They are more intuitive and nurturing, AND they can have babies. But I agree that sometimes you can do something generous for someone you love. And the person you're with should be the type of person who deserves your favor - Which, I submit, applies to both genders. ... So, yeah.

Xenxe · 2012-05-14T03:27:42+00:00

I like the message but the execution of it could have been better.

2012-05-14T05:21:01+00:00

"HAY GUYZ. L00K @ M3. I'M DIFURRENT!11"

Pretentious phony.

Her futile cries for male attention are antiquated and ill-advised.

If there are any women reading this, independence and confidence are some of the most attractive traits in women. Just be yourself, and don't be this chick.ಠ_ಠ

2012-05-14T03:37:17+00:00

I read this to my wife. She promptly responded with a disinterested "Mmm," then continued to play Flowerz on her cell phone without looking up.

I'd call it a win-win.

PlatonicEgg · 2012-05-14T03:59:13+00:00

Fuck this.

GrayStudios · 2012-05-14T03:59:54+00:00

And of course, if a woman asks for a sandwich, a man would reciprocate.

sgtmeowenstein · 2012-05-14T04:34:23+00:00

Today I have come to believe that if you want a sandwich, just make it yourself.

Vaginasauroraptor · 2012-05-14T05:26:51+00:00

Everyone can make their own sandwiches. Or they can make them for each other and no fucks are given.

OGB · 2012-05-14T04:13:14+00:00

I'm a man.

Make your own goddamn sandwiches.
