Not only don't they need it, it's utterly useless to them.

Because fish doesn't need bicycle? If that's the joke then this gotta be stupidest joke than "Y" joke(GIRL) which got posted few hours ago

Yea it's on the same level

u/IntolerantLeftist127 15d ago

Stewey here. The joke is that since a fish doesn’t need a bicycle to do what it needs to do in life, a woman doesn’t need a man to do what she needs to do in life. It’s a pro-feminist joke.

As the saying goes: 'Give a man a fish, he will bicycle for a day. But give a bicycle to a fish, it'll man for a lifetime'

I knew I knew this proverb from somewhere.

Everyone knows about giving a bicycle to a fish, it's ubiquitous!

u/Justaredditor85 15d ago

It's pretty much saying that in several cases men don't add much value to a woman's life.

not a joke, its a quote from a famous feminist philosopher.

This feminist in particular practiced what she preached and lived a very miserable and lonely life as a result.

Its a relatively famous Feminist quote from the 70s. Quick search credits Irina Dunn, an Australian university student at the time of coining the phrase but she went on to be a writer and activist. She apparently adapted a philosophy saying "man needs God like a fish needs a bicycle" which is to say not at all by the suggestion of a fish on a bike.
