Real men provide. Real women ALSO provide. We're not talking about rocket surgery here. This shit isn't complex.
cerulee
Men and women should appreciate each other.
Francesfarmers
My wife is or primary source of income. I do all the housework and appreciate the shit out of her.
NotoriousDuchess
The sign tells me you are a real woman. Congratulations.
Francesfarmers
Haha well the sign is on the internet so it's true

Didn't realize getting a job was a bad thing. Here I come welfare.

Humerous quips must now be a minimum of 900 characters with disclaimers that validate all groups not related to the original joke
eskimowins
I just naturally assume the sign is talking about dick. I'm not sure what that says about me.

Thought this was a joke. Nope. Someone really paid for this.
artimusdeath
Eh works well for some, not all. I like being the "breadwinner" but also encourage my wife's independence. Truth is she is fucking awesome
artimusdeath
Also- Offerman is great! That is all

Communists are mad because they hate the reality.

Sometimes men provide for men. Sometimes women provide for women. Sometimes people who were born one gender have to use a different bathroom
notamurder
Not in North Carolina. They check. And they are very thorough........
aiuta219
It's almost like maybe gender shouldn't be a determining factor in how we treat people!
Vizreki
Whaaaaaat. You mean like we respect people and judge them as individuals rather than as a group? Might be to hard for some but I'm on board.
Sprixxen
Yeah. We should respect individuals based on their actions. Unfortunately a lot of people are pushing for group identity and collectivism.
Sprixxen
"Respect me for the person I am" is more compelling than "Respect my group because it deserves respect".

I'm with you Nick, no more child support for men who don't want to pay!
BattloidKouji
I was happily surprised to find out how amazing Offerman is in real life, and not just on screen.
catznstuff
They don't want to be identified because it's a douche move

Plot twist: Sponsored by Child Support Services
Ssssssssssss
Master level trolling.
FakeNewsCanBeFun
In the absence of funding, this seems like a tenable solution.
Assgaurdian
Why can't women pay child support?
SvRommelvS
I read it as a condemnation of chronically unemployed men.
Hullaballoonatic
I agree with the sign. Also, real women provide, and real men appreciate. Basically, good humans are good.

I live in the city, not charlotte, where this is posted and its just clickbait advertising at its finest. Who looks ar billboards rt?
airmack
Why cant people have opinions & why cant people decide what role they want to play in a relationship. Someone has a differing opinion then
airmack
you do? omg noooooo
slaaneshBuiltMyJetbike
"Real X do Y" statements are usually absurd and generalizing. The case seems to be such here as well.
CapsShield
Glad to see the chromosome jokes are replicating...
dogenuggets
Or "Real Y do X" in this case.
BronzeLeaguePro
It's also a very womanly thing to do. So if this is a bunch of men doing it I'm going to call them women, and they're going to be insulted.

I read his comment in Ron Swanson's voice
TheFinalDoctor
I am ignorant and apathetic for what the sound of Ron Swanson's voice is
ihavebetrayedeveryoneilove
He'd like that
kittykat016
If you want to publicly declare your opinion have the guts to own up to it, legit
WKBetafiggit
This is the key issue. Have an opinion I disagree with? Fine, but have the guts to stand by it. Otherwise you're just RL trolling.
nonstopfox
But we all do the same thing on imgur every day. No one knows who we are

So the fashists can burn your house, pass up you children from school, make the wife losing all friends,call workplace and show u in news?
tanebou
NEWSFLASH, there are repercussions for publicly being an asshole.
mintblasterliam
I liked Offerman in Parks. He's a good actor.
8PiLoT0
I preferred it before he got so political.
BimmerBoost
He's better in Parks than in real life.
mintblasterliam
That's what i was implying.
JohnLeePettimore
Yes, a good actor
Myusernameistheworst
But not much else if you ask me.
ThePickliestRick
If a man provides, a woman should appreciate it. And the reverse is also true. This sign is lacking context.
aleister94
its context is classic western gender roles in which "appreciation" translates to obedience
ThePickliestRick
Well, fuck that sign, then.
aleister94
well I mean they might have done it by accident without thinking of subtext
ThePickliestRick
That's what I was talking about. Maybe it wasn't meant to be about subservience.
Zordicron
Charlotte is a good amount above the national average for unwed mothers/births. Also, lots of poverty stricken areas. Maybe this was done1/
Zordicron
improvement, and not just as some social media/national blanket statement thing to trigger SJW's? I guess it is more popular to rage though.
Zordicron
as more of a community message targeting specific demographics to try to change some attitudes in certain areas to lead to social2/

We get offended way to fucking easily.
aleister94
noyou're just trying to look tough and edgy
minabear
Say that to the women in abusive relationships who can't leave because her husband provides and she has no income of her own
bigdirtycroissant
Too* I am offended by your grammar
LiamNeesonOfficial
Pedant.
odraencoded
You get offended way to fucking easily too.
Agnagna
After years of people bitching about gender equality, a billboard saying what "real men" should do is hypocritical, not offensive.
wanderingsibyl
...the people bitching about the genders not being equal are not the same who think "real men" or "real women" anything. The people who 1/

Victim culture alive and well bro.
TheInfidelYourImamWarnedYouAbout
I'm offended by your assumption that I'm offended
unit47
I'm offended that you made the same comment that I was going to make.
TheInfidelYourImamWarnedYouAbout
Damn now I feel the need to apologize for offending you
cousac
Well, I'm offended by how unoffended I am.
imgurdotcommie
thats offensive!
zepoloderfliw
Offended
Marceline
It's just easier to see and voice your opinions now. Being offended is human nature and there's nothing wrong with it
WriteStuff
Being offended says that you aren't enough in control of your own emotions and you demand those around you to change to make you comfortable
AMartianPotato
The most common thing people get offended by is other people pointing out when someone is being an asshole.
GogglesGreek
Yeah, they got so offended by gender equality that the rented a whole billboard.
RosegoldEverything
That's not getting offended by equality; that's bringing up the issue of various kinds of equality.
GogglesGreek
Yeah, because when I think of equality, I think of problems and issues caused by treating people equally and fairly.
RosegoldEverything
You don't understand what I was saying. I'm saying it's a different type of equality that's often discredited today.
GogglesGreek
What specific type of equality are you referring to?
Surrealle
Another commenter said it perfectly, "being offended is now a position of power in the U.S." Sad but true
IMpresington
You don't think the folks who paid for the billboard weren't aiming to offend? You are right, but what is with the provocation?
RosegoldEverything
Provocative words provoke thought. Sometimes.
TerminalLanceCooley
Except me. It's impossible to offend me.
firagablitz
Hell even your account reputation says "Neutral." +1
Gruffalo
And just what in the fuck do you mean by THAT!?
TobySomething
They weren't easily offended - someone spent time and effort renting a billboard to offend them. Those people are the dicks here.
Abecx
People have a choice to let it offend them or not. Who gives a shit what people put on a billboard. Their money not mine.
APackOfExcitedGingers
I think he was referring to Nick Offerman, not the person who made the billboard.
Crockpotseal
Was the purpose of the billboard to offend?
missbelled
It was either that or to espouse a narrow, dogmatic world view with no recognition of any opposing views. Dunno which is worse. Wait, I do.
OutdoorHuman
I honestly can't tell what the purpose of the billboard was. Seems like it's telling men to step up and telling women to.. stop complaining?
Zordicron
What a terrible message! Imgur should be up in arms about this!
BronzeLeaguePro
Saying that I'm not a real man is trying to offend me. I don't mind getting offended over that.
angrypoops
all the moral outrage lead to more people seeing the sign then if they just thought whoever put it up is a dummy and carried on with life
