Behind every great man is a woman, in her place, with a couple of black eyes.

I agree that’s a good substitute for eye rolling.
(But it’s not a facepalm.)

Behind every great man is a woman, but there’s usually another one somewhere in his future.

Facepalm! My husband rolls his eyes at me all the time. It’s a sign of affection. Or maybe he appreciates my genius…I guarantee he’s reading this rolling his eyes right now! http://epcdn.net/ups/d60/m0lusfsnfq.jpg

I got my sister a cooking apron which says “will cook for shoes”. She loved it.

I want a “Stick To The Kitchen” t-shirt.

It’s hard to capture the essence of eye rolling without an animated image, but I think the act of the facepalm is a fair substitution.

Lasse and b made comments consistent with my first thought.

1) That’s a good photo—despite the caption of “rolling her eyes” being different gesture, Katie’s hand-to-brow expresses the same exasperation.

2) Sexism isn’t *inherently* funny. Put some other stereotype or prejudice in there, to test…
(Hey, wait, this could be perceived as anti-male sexist, or anti-female sexist…it’s a twofer, as the first commenter points out.)

And is this a cut against the man — or the woman?

It’s a funny shirt, yes. I just can’t help wondering what would happen if guys started wearing shirts which make similar remarks about women?

In every t-shirt ad, there’s a cute girl in it.
