Text on the meme

What it means

A two-panel meme contrasts women’s suffrage activists holding a “VOTES FOR WOMEN” sign with a modern tweet celebrating being “unmarriable” by selling explicit photos to many men. The joke is a provocative, absurd comparison between feminist progress and personal sexual autonomy, used as a sarcastic reaction to arguments about patriarchy and marriage.
