MY CHILD WILL Grow up to be manly

What it means

A split-image meme shows a frightening red-faced figure proudly declaring that his child will grow up to be manly, while the inset image reveals a person taking a mirror selfie in a revealing black outfit with thigh straps. The joke is the contrast between the exaggerated parental expectation of masculinity and the child’s feminine or provocative appearance, making it useful as an ironic reaction to unexpected behavior or failed expectations.
