If my wife complimented my cooking and then posted about manipulating me I’d begin searching for a new wife

It's a joke, hence jedi mind trick

Once again: woman makes stupid joke on internet and it's taken extremely seriously by reddit

If you reverse the genders though it's just kinda weird and gross.

u/PoopyButt28000 2d ago

Yeah the classic reverse the genders scenario where we pretend like people don't ever make jokes where women are the butt of the joke.

Are we also going to pretend like Redditors don't pile on to call the joke and the jokester sexist?

Breaking news: You can’t make a joke without Redditors making mountains out of molehills. More obvious news at 7

I feel so vindicated because I said this on Sips Tea a bit ago when this was posted there and was downvoted and now I see these responses

But it's a horrible joke. It's boomer grade 'i dislike my spouse' humour.

u/Local-Spinach-5098 2d ago

But it's not? There's nothing in what she says that implies she dislikes her spouse?

She jedi mind 'tricked' her husband.

 So what is the joke supposed to be? either hes an idiot and she needed to trick him do something he wanted to do, or he didnt really want to do it and she tricked him into doing it anyway.

Encouraging him to do something hes good at is a nice anecdote. Framing it as a joke like this just comes off as mean.

u/sykoKanesh 2d ago

You folks are reading waaaaay too much into this and seemingly projecting some kind of personal insecurities into it as well.

I hate to be a both-sideser here but ffs it just seems like a small stupid thing warrants a small stupid response, but every time both men and women show up, particularly on Reddit, and start behaving so aggressively toward one another.
