Funny? Why?

My brother sent this. I wish I didn't find it funny. That I do means I'm still too inside the Jackdom mentality. Like that life is about getting whatever you want when you want it, and that the battle of the sexes is the only way the sexes relate, and that sex and love are a kind of turf/commodity we are supposed to fight over in some colonizing way. I'm also put off by the way that the men are portrayed here as both Agents and Subalterns. As if respecting one's wife were some result of having been colonized, emasculated. I'm soooooo sick of that. But, I also can't help smirking at the about three layers of irony. Which also bothers me. Click &c. (I hope, because that whole thing ain't been cooperative of late.)

Maybe it will be penance, or maybe it is another salvo in the battle, but either way you should download:
