    Stats are valid when they are used in the proper context and are not being misrepresented. For example, Black and Native American people account for a disproportionate number of drowning deaths in the US. But it would be irresponsible to simply conclude that those groups are inherently bad swimmers. Just like the way the 13/50 trope is irresponsibly used to imply non-whites are inherently more prone to criminal behavior.

    All that aside, this meme isn’t attacking men. It’s attacking sexist tropes used against women.

      Nah, it’s a sexist joke. But it’s funny because “Haha, men bad”.

      It’s equivalent to making a joke like this: “Men do care about their feelings. Feeling their dick being sucked”
