Ya'll realize this is just saying a woman doesn't need a man? Like, a man also doesn't need a woman, or a fish a bicycle. Doesn't mean men as a whole aren't important or don't do important things that society needs. It's just that a woman isn't lacking if she's without one (visa versa for the fellas).

Healthy relationships are generally good for everyone involved though, meanwhile fish can't use bicycles. Not a great analogy, just a funny put-down to stop the pestering.

I'm disappointed in your lack of faith in fish.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ok but a fish with a bicycle is super cool, so the analogy kinda falls apart there

Y'know what, some women like to be with men too. It works!

Women talk shit until they need something off the top shelf.

or to open a jar of pickles

or a transmutation spell reversed

That's just princes transmuted into frogs. Why is it so common these days? I swear, they're doing it to themselves to scam passing women out of their precious kisses

All you need to do is hit the edge of the lid with a blunt object and it opens fine.

Do you know who taught me that? A woman.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I personally use a beer opener or a spoon to lift the lid slightly and then open it easily,

and I'm not a woman

Jokes on you, I'm 6ft. I am the guardian of the top shelf. 🧌

Are you joking, or are you seriously this sexist?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Interesting how what’s clearly a joke sets off your sexism alarm, but the blatant sexism in the original post doesn’t.

There was a girl in my high school that wore this shirt. I only recently made the connection.

At the Guinness brewery, they had a human-sized animatronics fish riding a bicycle, I bought a poster with a cartoon of it when I went. It must be a more common saying in Ireland, it was also in a U2 song.

FWIW this is a pretty old expression, apparently first recorded in print in 1975. Somehow, society has managed to survive its existence for all this time.

What's wrong with bicycles?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Republican fish drive gas-guzzling cars.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Wonder if we could get a reprint "The world without the USA is like a fish without a bicycle". Only Trump & Republicans don't seem to understand that.

I do agree with the message yet I find myself confused over the wording.

What kind of woke shit is this? Everything is woke, everything is diverse. /s
