I don't get it.
Ninja Edit:
Oh...it's implying men are retarded and can't dress their own children.
[–]funnyfaceking -1 points0 points1 point 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I didn't get it until you explained it to me.
that's sexism
[–][deleted] 19 points20 points21 points 14 years ago (17 children) | Copy Link
It's a joke. I don't think this is sexism.
[–]ThePigman 8 points9 points10 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's both, genius.
[–]tailcalled 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
It is sexism if they refuse to have the mom-equivalent because it might offend moms, or because it's false.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
If that's the case, then how do you know it's sexism based solely on this one picture?
[–]tailcalled 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't but it would be a reasonable guess.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I agree, and I also think it is funny.
This does not stop every other female gendered joke or shirt from being harangued endlessly until the cows come home.
[–]ToraZalinto 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is the problem. I don't want it so no one can make jokes about either sex. But that we can both joke around equally. Fuck PC. Lets laugh a little. :)
[–]sbrbrad 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This.
I think its funny, but if it were something towards moms instead of dads, we'd see it pulled with Walgreens issuing an apology.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It is a joke and I found it funny, but I think the point of this was more of a "Why is this acceptable when it is sexist against men, but something sexist against women is COMPLETELY unacceptable."
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
You realize those two things are not mutually exclusive, right?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
You realize not being mutually exclusive still doesn't make this sexism, right? I mean how nit picky are we willing to go here? Anything that even slightly implies men aren't perfect at something and women are...is sexism? This shirt is funny because it's based on a pretty natural truth - females of the species are typically the ones to look after the children, be protective, etc etc (yeah....show me some examples of how I'm wrong, I know they exist), and men are the providers and protectors of the family as a whole. It's not like it says, "My dad is a fucking retard when it comes to a babies....because he's man!"

It's not like it says, "My dad is a fucking retard when it comes to a babies....because he's man!"
Well apparently we are looking at different shirts because that's exactly what I'm looking at.
In pretty much any situation, if I decide to explain to you that the head goes through the hole in the top, and the arms go through the holes in the sides, it's understood that I'm making fun of you for being stupid. If I put this on a shirt and imply that the advice is there to help "Daddies" then I'm obviously making fun of Dad's for being stupid. This shirt is clearly calling Dad's stupid. That's it's entire purpose. It is simply slapstick comedy where you are supposed to laugh at it because it's insulting dads. It even says "Snap!" at the bottom.
What do you think the message is?
[–]cknight18 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
i really think sqazm has a point here. If they were to have some joke saying that a man is stupid in the office or in a work setting, nobody would laugh (at least i dont think they would, but maybe im wrong). i see your point and i think a lot of the time men are portrayed as stupid just because they're men (and not situational), but i dont think that's exactly the case here. the only thing that frustrates me is that we can make jokes about how men are stupid when it comes to taking care of kids, but as soon as we see a similar shirt teasing women for being stupid in the office, the red lights go OFF
[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points-2 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
......it's a joke shirt for babies. It's not some feminist message attack on men.
Whether or not it's feminist is irrelevant. Whether or not it's a joke is irrelevant. Whether or not it is for babies is irrelevant. As for whether or not it is insulting men, I thought I clearly articulated that above. Why even respond if you are not going to make an argument?
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Most jokes are insulting to some degree.
[–]hardwarequestions 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
it's a sexist joke.
i laughed too, but stuff like this is all i can think about when some women rant about every joker being sooooo sexist against women and other BS.
[+][deleted] -12 points-11 points-10 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
When has comedy excused a hate crime?
Stop trying to cut the penis off of hate.
[–]Brax611[S] 5 points6 points7 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I get that it's a Joke, I just don't think it is very funny. It is a great example of how sociey sees sexism against men as acceptable. It perpetuates the negative stereotype of men being stupid and unable to take care of kids. As a man and a dad I find it incredibly offensive.
[–]icenine09 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I am a stay-at-home-dad and while I don't necessarily find this shit offensive, this kind of shit does bug me a bit, only because I know if it were reversed, women would get shitty. Real shitty.
[–]BiBoFieTo 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. This is the truth. Making fun of women is taboo but making fun of men is fine.
I want equality. I'd prefer of that meant jokes about men AND women are acceptable, but women won't allow that.
[–]gringo1980 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's a joke, walmart isnt trying to perpetuate anything, they are trying to provide for their clientelle. If it makes you feel better, I believe they also sell women's shirts that say "I wish these were brains" across the chest (or at least they used to).
[–]youfail21 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
i dont get it?
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Btw... gogland is a troll.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Good to know.
[–]Irrel_M 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I doubt the kid wearing this will even know his dad in the first place....
[+]Cowardlylurkerlion -8 points-7 points-6 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That's a very good example of how oppressed working class men are. Also seeing peopleofwalmart for lots of fat shaming of working class men. It's despicable and totally what men should be focusing on to gain power.
[–]Embogenous -1 points0 points1 point 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Troll here folks, downvote and move on.
[+][deleted] -23 points-22 points-21 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
HEY GUYS!
MY PENIS PREVENTS ME FROM RECOGNIZING WHAT A HEAD AND AN ARM LOOKS LIKE!
THANKS WAL-MART FOR REINFORCING THE STEREOTYPE THAT MEN HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING, THAT THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT A BODY IS, AND THAT THEY NEED A SHIRT TO PROTECT THEIR OWN CHILD FROM THEM.
DADDY-PROOF. BECAUSE WE AT WAL-MART BELIEVE YOU AS A MAN ARE SO INCAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF KIDS YOU'LL JUST KILL YOUR OWN LITTLE ONE.
ALSO: BECAUSE YOU'RE A MAN AND YOU'LL NEVER REALLY BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF A CHILD OR CARE FOR IT. TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF KIDS, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? DO WOMEN THINGS? NO, GO BACK TO DOING DUMB MAN THINGS MAN.
ALSO ALSO: THE "SNAP!" BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE IT SO EASY TO PLAY WITH YOUR KIDS GENITALS BECAUSE YOU'RE A HORRIBLE MAN, IT'S A SNAP!
FUCKING WAL-MART! STOP ASSUMING MEN ARE PEDOPHILES.
