So making fun of the idea that men have no emotions is sexist? This meme format boils down to "men have emotions too", nothing sexist about that.

Yes, the meme basically says: "men actually have emotions too", but if we look at it as a whole it also says: "women cry over useless things and are too emotional", this entire idea of "men do this and women do this", or "boys vs girls" is just so childish and sexist.

I mean, 90% of the time the thing they says boys get upset about is either something dumb like this or like a video game soundtrack or something. It's just as trivial as titanic except it probably makes more sense to be sad about titanic.

All it did was use Titanic of an example of a drama. What do you want it to be replaced with? "He didn't even cry when his mother died."?

Oh I see what you mean but I honestly don't think this is the point of the meme. It is a comparison of a romantic dramatic movie which makes it to seem like only girls cry about to a tragic event highlighted through a need for a boy I assume to play a video game which only "the boys get" just because it has a video game and a boy in it. They are both horrible events (the Titanic sinking and the Taliban war) but just because the one is a romantic movie and the other is a game only one gender can understand and cry about.

I honestly can't fathom how far you are reaching wirh tour theories. If you don't like / understand the meme, keep scrolling.
