It’s not what you’re saying, it is the implication behind the words that offends us. We ask you to fix our cars because we know you’ll be able to and we can’t. You tell us to make you a sandwich because you either think you’re above it and we’re not, or you’re just to damn lazy to get your ass off the couch. Either way we’re gonna get pissed.
So, what you’re saying is that men should not do anything for women that women are capable of doing themselves because they’re just being lazy. So next time you can kill that big ass bug in the shower all by yourself? LOL
It’s not that we’re incapable of fixing cars or our computer, sometimes its just that we can’t do certain parts. I change my own oil because its cheaper and I know how. However, I still need help loosening the bolt to drain it out, so I have to either ask my dad or my boyfriend. Not because they’re “superior” but simply because I can’t. You can make your own sandwich. When my four year old nephew can make his own, its obvious that the only thing standing in the way of you getting off the couch and making a sandwich is the fact that you feel you’re better than that. Society has trained our guys to be “macho” and unfortunately that (sometimes) means treating women worse than they deserve. Now, I am by no means a feminist. I don’t think women should rally for equality unless they TRULY want to be found equal in every aspect. But I do believe in basic human rights, and demands made by some men are ridiculous and demeaning. And yes, this includes the motive behind telling your woman to make you a sandwich.
How about we say that if you can fix your own shit…you fix it…whether it be a car or a sandwich. If you can’t you ask for help. It’s not that complicated.
I believe the whole sandwich thing got started when Chapelle made the joke that for a woman to make a man happy she should “suck my dick, don’t talk so much, and make me a sandwich”. Was it meant to be demeaning to women? Absolutely. Pretending it’s not doesn’t make it so.
I think women…as a woman myself…make it worse for ourselves half of the time. So many are all about being liberated and such but also get overly angry when they aren’t treated as a more tender being than a male. So you can go two ways with this but can’t fairly have both…making a sandwich is much easier than manual labor and that’s a fact. I’ll gladly make a sandwich if it means I don’t have to re-shingle my roof.
My girlfriend used to make me sandwiches occasionally before the whole “make me a sandwich” thing was popular in my area. Now she staunchly refuses. I wasn’t sexist then and I’m not now, but this controversy is damaging my ability to eat delicious food!
I’m a woman and I find this incredibly hilarious! I’ll admit, I’m incapable of fixing my own stuff! Same goes for my husband who can’t even cook (I mean it, cereal is the ONLY thing he can make.) so I do the cooking. I do my job, he does his job and we’re both even.
Honestly, if your going to fix my car…do you like white or wheat? Salami, ham, turkey, all three?…cheese, LTO? You get greasy and gross under my car and Ill have that sandwich ready and waiting with a cold beer!
All this bitching and moaning makes me want a sandwich. Ladies?

Why don’t men simply politely request a sandwich, if their gf/wife is so good at making delicious sandwiches I.e. “hey honey, would you mind making me a sandwich, thanks” (for bonus points mention thst it’s because they make delicious sandwiches and you dont)
For real doh… I mean come on, that is a clean sweep comment. why don’t you just say all men want a sandwich after sex, with a beer… Oh and some silence would be nice! Instead of, “Really… 8 seconds” there is a round 2 ladies! Blow one’s mind too!
I see a bunch of girls here are using ignorance as a defense. “WE can’t fix our car because we don’t know how, but you know how to make a sandwich”. Well, empowered feminista, if you are really that into feminism, why haven’t you learned how to do those things yet? (I am aware that some of you do, please continue reading). I’m guessing it’s because those of you who haven’t would rather bitch and moan about the sexism, than actually DO something constructive. Hell, if we were so sexist, we would have you do our laundry and iron our shirts. Men have learned to do those things (most of them I hope), and yet those are typically seen as “woman work” by machos. Hmmmm, so if you really want to stop being helpful in any kind of way towards those awful awful sexist sandwich eating men, how about you learn the tools of the trade to not need one. Mutually beneficial arrangements exist between men and women, and if you don’t like that stop acting like a princess and get your hands dirty.
I’m just going to start a recolution, take control of this overly sensitive country, and imprison all the pussies that want to complain about this stupid ass shit. The sad truth is, this is one of Americas most disscused topics(on the internet, not politics OBVIOUSLY) this really shouldn’t be discussed as much as it is

I think she is admitting that men are superior. What about being a women makes you incapable of fixing a car? Its called tools.
Woman*

The difference is that the girl may actually have no idea how to fix her car or computer. The guy knows how to make his own f**king sandwich.
bitch, bitch, bitch…….then you marry them
Hahaha

SO sexist to say that all men want sammiches. I’m highly offended.
