Had to share this. He Can Do It. (x-post from /r/feminism)

I'd have no problem being that guy, but I wouldn't let my biceps get that thin.

CosmicKeys · 2013-03-26T09:18:03+00:00

Good stuff. I like at least that he has a serious face, because most of these types of role reversals are made to make fun of men.

IHaveALargePenis · 2013-03-26T16:46:32+00:00

I have no problem with men being able to take care of kids or do housework, but I hate how "housework" is only defined by what women do. Yard work, pressure cleaning the driveway, sidewalk, roof, car maintenance, fixing things, etc are all housework.

Leinadro · 2013-03-26T12:39:44+00:00

Damn straight he can do it.

gybryant · 2013-03-26T13:47:47+00:00

No. No. This looks terrible and should be made fun of. What, are we going to make t-shirts that turn popular brand logos into MRA slogans, too? Not to mention that it's pretty condescending in tone. Can we clean and take care of our children? Can we? Not only can we, but we do. Every day. Men shouldn't need dumbass posters to make us feel good about being men. And it's a shitty painting.

Besides, the woman upon whom the original is based quit that job almost immediately because she didn't want to hurt her hands. Hardly worthy of homage.

drivebywhatever · 2013-03-26T09:40:15+00:00

That is beautiful.

sortofheathery · 2013-03-26T14:01:49+00:00

I don't get it, so men are good enough to clean everything and take care of kids (Which I totally agree with), but making women clean and take care of kids is oppressing them? Their logic is flawed (You can tell me "no shit")

kawaiigardiner · 2013-03-26T14:21:18+00:00

Funny given that the trope from the feminists is that guys have never done any cleaning in their life - as bachelors we all live in squalor until a princess comes into our life to sort it out. If there was ever an example of veiled sexism that would be it.

TheExits · 2013-03-26T21:00:56+00:00

A couple of years ago Newsweek did a poll of various feminist issues. One question was whether or not you (the respondent) was opposed to a relationship where the woman is the bread-winner and the man stays at home to tend to the children. Men polled at almost exactly 50/50 on the issue. As for women, 93% of them said they were not supportive of such a scenario.

neightdog · 2013-03-26T16:39:21+00:00

THIS SHOULD SAY "WE CAN DO IT"

DinnerBlasterX · 2013-03-26T12:49:39+00:00

Wha?

ETHAN MARS???

True shit.

Is that... is that Nicholas Cage? /r/onetruegod

2013-03-26T19:42:29+00:00

I already do this. Fuck off feministas.

Saving this for Father's Day (June 16).

2013-03-26T15:02:54+00:00

Love this

Whitworth · 2013-03-26T15:10:44+00:00

I am that guy

SchrodingersRapist · 2013-03-26T16:28:52+00:00

I'm confused whether this is portraying a stay at home dad which I would support, or the feminist belief about how all men are only worth what is in their wallets and what we can do for them and their misandric view of men otherwise.

tayediggity · 2013-03-26T16:53:18+00:00

Original post?

Anq · 2013-03-26T16:58:24+00:00

I guess someone has to.

bigsquish · 2013-03-26T17:19:18+00:00

As a stay at home dad (and college student) this means a hell of a lot to me. Thank you.

Coinin · 2013-03-26T17:56:37+00:00

Love it :D That baby looks slightly scary though.

DrDerpberg · 2013-03-26T18:11:45+00:00

Why not? Equality means everybody can do every role in the family.

One of the happiest couples I know (they've been together since they were 12, they're 25-26 now) made the decision that the girl would become a lawyer and the dude would become an electrician for a school board so he can be home in time for the kids. He cooks like a bawss and makes his own smoked meat and doesn't afraid of anything.

Now, obviously, knowing /r/feminism this may have been used nefariously, i.e.: to suggest men should clean and do all that other stuff but that they should ALSO work the lion's share of the hours, etc. But at its core I see nothing wrong with "men can cook and clean and take care of the baby too".

juntaklaus · 2013-03-26T20:54:09+00:00

While I appreciate this submission, it really belongs in /mensrants

Expolaris · 2013-03-26T21:16:02+00:00

As if there was any doubt?

DuckSir · 2013-03-27T00:05:43+00:00

I'm pretty sure this has already been posted, I recall seeing comments about how his beard is unbalanced.

2013-03-27T01:19:09+00:00

Of course I can do it, I just do it half assed so I don't get asked to do it next time.

2013-03-27T01:30:06+00:00

What utter wank.

scanspeak · 2013-03-27T10:16:55+00:00

He CAN do it, and probably better than a woman, and do it in boots.

ttnorac · 2013-03-26T15:00:09+00:00

Then if he can clean, take care of the kids, and work, what do women bring to the table?

Mashuu225 · 2013-03-26T21:37:45+00:00

I can't help but think that feminist post this to say "Let him do it"

replicult · 2013-03-26T14:24:10+00:00

Awesome, good to see men subverting an iconic feminist image by taking over traditionally female roles.

Octagonecologyst · 2013-03-26T18:15:50+00:00

This is stupid and you should feel stupid for posting. What a load'a condescending bullshit.

harkrank · 2013-03-26T14:56:27+00:00

This poster belongs better in the past. It's 2013 and most young adult men are much better at cooking and cleaning than women. Yes I know he isn't cooking in this picture.

When it comes to taking care of babies I think women are better fit though, mainly because theey can breastfeed.

Regstrd2UnsbPolitics · 2013-03-26T15:38:34+00:00

Got to be the gayest thing outta this sub yet. Congrats.

SMZ72 · 2013-03-26T13:46:19+00:00

EDIT: Attempt to be sarcastic failed.
