Putting Women in Their Place


This meme at first glance seems to be very serious connecting with a riot somewhere in the world. Then when you take a closer look and see what is written below, the meme becomes in some ways personal and degrading. With using Patriarchy, this shows how it is okay for men to “put” females in their “place”. This is wrong on so many levels because our culture today should so equality on house roles but according to society women belong in the kitchen and traditionally they need to live their lives in the kitchen. This meme makes me very frustrated because it makes it seem as if women do not have power to make their own decisions. This is not true at all and it is sad to see that society thinks it is okay to think of women this way. Although I know there are two sides to sexism, it is so stupid to make a meme like this because there is probably is serious a sad meaning behind this picture and now all people will think of is this stupid line, “ Nice try, you thought you could escape from the kitchen didn’t you?”
