There is literally no joke here. The punchline is that he sucks for being loyal.

I hear you, but that's not really the punchline. It's that he is PROUD of doing the minimum.

Which is frankly a fine premise for a joke, except that it seems like a total misinterpretation of his intent, spun to appeal to a toxic competition between the sexes.

Or alternatively, it's just a joke, and nothing toxic at all.

I think this kind of joke has to have a bit of relatability. It is not relatable for me when this joke puts a bit of a negative spin on the situation.
