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.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

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

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.

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.

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

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 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

smarter > harder

Are you joking, or are you seriously this sexist?

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 3 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.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 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.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What's wrong with bicycles?

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Republican fish drive gas-guzzling cars.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

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