      What’s the stereotype exactly? I don’t think anyone appreciates being told to calm down when they’re pissed about something.

        precisely.

        What’s the stereotype exactly?

        that only wives go nuclear when being told to calm down. you’ll never see a version of the meme in the OP where a woman is talking about her husband, for instance.

        Ever be a woman and tell a man to calm down? HI- LARIOUS.

        It’s as if men think only women are capable of overreacting. Or that their reactions are so much worse.

        For context I sometimes deliberately tell my friends to calm down specifically to make them angry. I said that because it’s over-the-top and this community isn’t the place for serious discussion.
