(Note: This isn't necessarily aimed at another specific post that's on here atm, it just got me thinking.)

It feels like these type of memes have been cropping up more the last few years especially, and that they're an expression of nervousness from a culture anxious about how dramatically the popular perception of gender/sex is changing.

    YEAH!!! Girls do: Insert boring, practical, and responsible thing. Boys do: Adventurous and ambitious and interesting thing. Format sucks. It is insidious because it's on its face it isn't that horrible to be stereotyped as doing the average or "smart" or normal thing to do but it robs women of the potential for character and nuance.

      100%, don't see why there's no memes where the girls are the interesting multifaceted chads
