![]() ![]() But, these memes touch on reasons why drinking may be a good idea. In these you see women that almost everyone knows (except for the third one, I am not sure who she is). Now there are so many more memes out there, but I only want to touch on a few of them for the sake of this post. I want to start off with the memes below as I think they tie into motivations. ![]() So lets dive right on in! I promise to exclude some of them though, simply because of language and also topics (there was one such meme of jack and coke and how it helped women overcome the fear of certain sexual activities. When I scrolled through, I also got a meme about gays wearing floral shirts, but hey I guess even google makes mistakes once in a while. If you simply Google “women drinking memes” you will come up with a wide range of memes going from Betty White with a wine glass to Karen Walker (a character from the show Will & Grace) saying that she would “suck the alcohol out of a deodorant stick”. Now before I go any further, I want to say that I personally will laugh at memes like this, I do find them funny because some of the circumstances in them are relatable, but I also think that is why they can be dangerous. First, do the memes surrounding this topic tap into the motivation of women to drink? And, do these memes actually have a negative reinforcement and strengthen the desire or even environment around drinking? Personally, I believe that the best way to talk about this is to go directly to the memes and discuss them. And for the purpose of this post, that is in regards to women and drinking. To begin I think it is important that we understand what exactly the topic of interest is. So are they? Are memes influencing how were perceive certain topics and creating an adverse reaction? ![]() One such idea is the use of memes on social media, and granted I will laugh at memes and send them to friends, but that is still not an excuse if said memes are actually doing more harm then good. After that though we almost always share it with someone else, or even repost it, without actually thinking about how what we thought was funny in the moment, can actually do some harm in the long run. Often when scrolling, looking at people’s stories, or clicking on links, we see something funny, or even inappropriate, and we laugh…sometimes a lot. We use it not only to connect with other people, but to see news, stories, videos, and so many other things. Social media, a tool that all most everyone uses on some platform to connect with the world as a whole. ![]()
