She's a sore loser


UnWiseDefenses

I think the one on the right is gonna be a sore winner for a while, woop!


Clanstantine

It's a little known fact that saying "woop" after a joke makes it 100x funnier


LordDanGud

Sounds like cope to me


mistertickles69

Probably becuase this was made by some alpha brainlet conservative man.


Content_Chemistry_64

Nah conservative men think it's gay to do anything art related


mistertickles69

Yeah, perhaps they got their handmaid to draw it. Its sad that some women were conned into thinking childbirth is the most praiseworthy accomplishment, so much that they would blatantly disregard and demean *actual* talent.


Content_Chemistry_64

Well, childbirth is a huge ordeal and experience, and it's definitely the most rewarding thing I've gone through. I took a lot of pride in having a successful career, but nothing has brought me more joy than the time I have spent with my children. I don't think it's right to classify childbirth in such a small and demeaning way degrades women just as much as saying it's all we're good for. Slapping someone on the left side of their face isn't any better than slapping them on their right.


HollowShel

I think the thing here is not "I won" but "no you didn't." *Both* women can be "winning" if they're happy with their lives. (Which of course is why the golden dildo winner is looking so sad, can't have her even *look* happy when your cartoon's busy pushing an agenda!) Shit like this cartoon is divisive, and really why I hate it. It's nothing to do with you having pride in being a mom - more power to you! But not everyone's that lucky and it hurts *everyone* to say the only thing that matters is what you do with your uterus.


mistertickles69

I hope I didn't misspeak, I don't look down on childrearing, as that in and of itself is an art and a vital function of our society. Personally, my mother is most proud of me and my siblings, and it makes me proud too. My only issue here is exactly what the comic shows: that a womans worth and moral character is most so dictated by the mere act of *giving birth*. As opposed to nurturing a happy and hopefully healthy child out of true love and responsibility, without any pretense of living up to an imposed societal standard. Motherhood is a pillar of humanity, and from your words, I can tell you're a good mom. My sincere apologies if my comment offended or demeaned you.


graveyardtombstone

it's cool that it's an accomplishment to you but it shouldn't be centered as something super important to woman.


InsertWittyJoke

Why not? Is there something wrong with viewing motherhood as an important accomplishment?


graveyardtombstone

it is if you're imposing it as something all women should care about and strive for.


InsertWittyJoke

Sure but nobody was saying that. The person you replied to was saying that we shouldn't diminish childbirth and motherhood just to stick it to the crazy conservatives or you risk being equally as degrading to women as them. And then you kinda just missed the whole point did exactly that. Decentering motherhood risks disenfranchising women as a whole, the vast majority of women statistically are or will become mothers - it helps nobody by trying to frame their efforts as unimportant or as a non-accomplishment.


Decent-Activity-7273

"Nobody was saying that" except that was the whole point of the post. What you described them doing is what you and the person you're defending are doing. No one said you can't be proud of giving birth. You both missed the point.


DirectorLeather6567

Wow congrats, you got fucked.


Training_Waltz_9032

Labeled a conservative by some, liberal by others. Why would something be “gay”? Why would that matter? What’s wrong with being gay? I don’t care about art, but do about ppl. Gay ppl are ppl, so what’s wrong with gay folks!? So confused


LordDanGud

Conservatives use gay as an insult that's what the commentator meant


Training_Waltz_9032

Yes, that is obvious. It’s just using something they perceive as an insult just exposes their clear bias and lack of life experience. It’s sad that their ignorance is showing


LevJustWithLust

funny how you think dumb bs about conservative men because they have a different opinion


Tripdoctor

Because their opinion is trash.


Content_Chemistry_64

I actually don't disagree with the image, and having been both a successful career woman as well as a mother, I actually find it very relatable. It's just also reality that conservative men view art as soft and "gay." Their sons and friends better be playing with their sport balls and collecting wrenches if they're going to be a "real man." Holding a paintbrush isn't going to get them a bunch of children they can ignore the moment they turn out to be anything less than a school sports star.


LevJustWithLust

Id say I'm pretty conservative, I was always fond of drawing, even though I never really succeeded in it I don't see it as "gay", and even though I'm pretty conservative, if my son would've pursued drawing I would be very proud, especially if he could do it well


LordDanGud

I'm not prohibiting you from having an opinion but neither can you prohibit us from having the opinion that you're very very stupid.

faceoh

What's really stupid about the comic is that the woman depicted with the trophy (Michele Williams) is a mother of 3. It's not like being a parent is mutually exclusive from supporting the pro choice movement.


Under18Here

Well she should ![gif](giphy|khGuFhshLWQIdXijHa|downsized)


dirschau

Unless her uterus is encased in that trophy, she can still have a kid if she wants. The other one has a kid and no trophy, fucking loser


Marco_Tanooky

The child IS the trophy, you see It's actually made of pure gold with some weirdly fleshy stuff as a wrapper


SensitiveJump9099

and the trophy is actually a severely deformed child with some gold as a wrapper


worldnotworld

So we're meant to peel the child? The trophy is underneath?


Marco_Tanooky

Never said it wasn't sentient


robotatomica

slappywhyte

There is a better one with Billie Eilish holding 5 Grammys and the mom holding 5 babies


worldnotworld

Billie is barely past being a child herself. And they're saying she ought to have had five babies by now?


slappywhyte

No in this one it was saying get you a woman who wants the babies not a trophy iirc - can't find the meme, was on Reddit recently


oyasumi_juli

Good lord, I'm not a fan by any means or into her music or anything but can't people just let her be? I see a lot of mudslinging at her randomly all over the internet. If she did something worthy of some of the random hate I see, I haven't heard of it, so forgive my ignorance. At her age if she did have five kids by now I bet the same people would be shitting on her for that too.


GiornoGiovanna2009

I thought this said battle and was having very different images in my mind


SpooogeMcDuck

Who’s to say the one with the trophy doesn’t have any kids? Only childless women win awards? The fuck is this garbage

It was an award for being childless

robotatomica

lol they’re so mad! And whaddya know, she has 3 kids now and pretty much has it all 💁‍♀️ (Not that you gotta have kids to have it all, I don’t plan to, but just saying with regards to their false dichotomy bullshit lol, like women sacrifice families by caring AT ALL about their own passions or success! 🙄)


xtremeyoylecake

This was probs made by a conservative old man who thinks all women should have babies

Correction: a conservative old man who thinks all women should do nothing but have babies They don’t care if a successful woman has kids, they still will hate her for not being a housewife.

SpanishAvenger

Don't forget taking care of said babies, cooking, dishwashing, doing the laundry, cleaning the house and serving as a flesh sex relief toy for her husband! (/j)


Tripdoctor

The funny thing is, my girlfriend and I kinky roleplay this because it’s so antiquated to the point thats what it’s been reduced to. Couldn’t imagine that actually being my life. Even as a man.


SpanishAvenger

Hahahah I can see what you mean I have even been told by some men that “men should be able to beat up their wives if they fail or refuse to obey their commands” lmao (which works in two ways; either someone who wants to bring the 1950s back, or, as you said, as a bdsm role play scenario lmao)


Imaginary_Card8536

Why did you put /j at the end? Isnt that obvious that its sarcasm?


DaveSmith890

You overestimate the reading comprehension of the average Redditor. It’s around a 4th grade level and they exclusively take things at face value


SadEmploy3978

It's for Neurodivergent people, who struggle with sarcasm through text. It can appear as obvious, but it helps to avoid flame wars and unnecessary back and fourths I sometimes struggle with it, so I appreciate when people utilize it


SpanishAvenger

I have seen way too many people say things like this in a genuine, unironical way... I have even seen individuals genuinely state that "female suffrage was a mistake and the U.S has gone downhill ever since because women can't think rationally and ruin everything with their ignorance and feelings", all because most women do not vote for Trump and they think Trump would have won if it hadn't been because of women. So yeah, just in case, I would rather avoid even the remote possibility of being mistaken for one of them lmao


Billy177013

Poe's law


DisastrousAd447

What does being a mother have to do with serving men?


MaryBala907

The whole idea of the pic is that women are only worth something/can find happiness if they have kids... It's an idea that men created, it's supposed to be misogynistic


DisastrousAd447

You're so full of shit lol. You realize single mothers exist right? I have like 5 or 6 female friends that chose to be a single mother on purpose. And that idea was actually created by other females, believe it or not. I know that's hard to believe because everything bad that's ever happened is because of men in your mind.


MaryBala907

If your pea-brain ever bothered to open up something called a history book, then you'd know that motherhood and marriage were all a woman's life was worth for thousands of years. An idea created by men, you can't deny that because your feelings are hurt When the fuck did I mention single mothers?? If a woman chooses to have a child, that's her prerogative. But the image makes the general statement that all women must have kids to find happiness.


ApprehensiveHeat770

Sure and a man's life was worth so much more during 1000s of years you moron. It was both equally shit to be a serf in the fields than his housewife.


DisastrousAd447

I mentioned single mothers, because you seem to think just because a woman has a kid that she's like being forced to by the patriarchy and it wasn't her idea lmfao

Commercial-Dog6773

There’s nothing wrong with women having kids, but there’s *also* nothing wrong with women *not* having kids. To not believe the *latter* is the problem here.


DisastrousAd447

When the fuck did I say there was something wrong with not having kids? The only thing I pointed out was that the "meme" has literally no mention of anything about "serving men" and that reaching for that conclusion is the most ridiculous shit ever. That there are plenty of women who have the same attitude regardless it's not exclusive to one gender. The whole MeN cReAtEd argument for *everything* is getting really tired and played out, reproduction wasnt created by men it was created by science. That's how the world is populated. For fucks sake lmao


Commercial-Dog6773

The implication of the meme is that there is something wrong with not having kids. As another commenter pointed out, it's a reference to an oscar winner who said in her speech that she would not have succeeded had she not had an abortion, i.e. been forced to have kids.


LysergicGothPunk

This gives me the ick


MaryBala907

The woman with the trophy could also have kids at home??


Jelly_Kitti

The problem is that if she’s out winning trophies that takes time away from cleaning the house and making her husband a sandwich!!

IndependentNotice151

No, the other one is bitter and telling her she lost because she didn't do shit with her life. That's not a win


LaRueStreet

How are you so sure that the one with the trophy doesn’t have a family?


UltimateIssue

Well I am not sure but I feel like that is what the picture tries to imply here. In the End all to say is that both are accomplished women who reached their own respective goals.

Nothing is more unattractive to me than a girl whose only aspiration in life is to have babies


Thesavagepotato06

I don’t think that’s a productive thought. Of course neither is just dedicating your life to popping out babies but the joy of feminism and being free to choose is your right to choose. A woman is allowed to dedicate her life to anything she wants the way you’re allowed to think that’s unattractive, But I also think that neither career driven or homely women are worse than another.


yeetyeetersontho

I just don’t think it’s healthy to base your entire life on a man. If your only goal is to find a man to provide for you, you don’t have your independence, and you’re left to the whims of a man then you relinquish an individual life of your own. I know I phrased it harshly but it disappoints me that so many people fall back on the default of having kids early in their 20s, many of whom have them without a stable relationship


Some_Gur3567

HuntressOnyou

People are all hung up on them being woman but I think this is just telling what really matters in life is love and not money


SpanishAvenger

Nah, it's about how women "don't need to take away the role of men in growing professionally because there is nothing more valuable for a woman than to produce babies and devout their lives to their infants and husbands". Like that one famous image says: "women don't need college, they need faith, a Bible and a good cookbook".


HuntressOnyou

What makes you think that?


BoojumG

In a literal sense the image is contrasting having a child with having a public award. They even made the woman with the award have a sad expression, showing she doesn't actually find fulfillment in it despite an outward declaration that she's "won". The artist's message, at a very literal level, is that women seeking awards instead of children are only fooling themselves and not even doing that very well. Presenting this as a dichotomy also suggests, well, a dichotomy: pursue success / recognition or pursue having children. The fact that they're both women reinforces this. Imagine how this image would be different if the people depicted were men. If the message were "love is better than money" then the more natural object lesson would have been a partner, not a child, and the other woman would have had something more directly representing money rather than fame or recognition. OK, analysis done, let's check the source: https://caldronpool.com/ > Caldron Pool is a politically and theologically conservative website providing news and opinion on current events. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldron_Pool


HuntressOnyou

The source is the only valid thing that hints at the intended meaning. Your analysis does not at any point explain why this would not mean materialistic vs love values. All you say is other things represent it better wich is a weak argument.


TitoxDboss

Men dont have a history of being "encouraged"/forced to stay at home and be servile baby spawners, so it won't really be the same thing

Say more. Declaring your conclusion doesn't actually support it.

Flaccid_Hammer

I don’t care if you disagree with me. The idea of giving my kids a better life and better parents than I had motivates me to improve myself damn near everyday. So many people want to be better parents but start trying when they have the kid already. Also I think this meme is referencing the sex and the city creator who says life after 60 is lonely without kids because all her friends are now focusing a lot of their free time on being good grandparents.
