Deletion discussion
This article should be nominated for deletion again. Seriously the thing starts out with a quote like your reading some harry potter wikia or something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:CB07:6400:446A:26FB:4E2F:BD9 (talk) 04:57, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

 * As someone who is intimately familiar with Call-out culture I never came across this meme. I'm curious - what is Wikipedia's policy in dedicating articles to individual memes? - Sridc (talk) 13:47, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Are you familiar with Wikipedia's notability guideline in general, in particular the WP:GNG part? Regards, HaeB (talk) 14:06, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Though generally with memes, I would like to see coverage in main-line news sources rather than sources that generally focus on the internet to show the meme has awareness beyond the Internet-aware. We have that here for Milkshake Duck (NYtimes for example). --M asem (t) 14:27, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Him too part
I made this change [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Milkshake_Duck&diff=925210155&oldid=925160629]. While the Tweet did refer to "radical feminists", it didn't really say anything about him being anti-feminist. Nor did either of the sources simplify it that way. IMO it's actually more confusing than enlightening the previous way. I don't believe I've heard of this particular controversy before today. When I read that part, I assumed that the mother was criticising her son for being an anti-feminist and being part of the #himtoo movement so found the whole thing confusing. (Why on earth would a mother do that, especially when it's so wrong? And also, isn't it possible she knows more about how he feels then he's letting on perhaps because he's doesn't want to be seen in a poor light? So why was that one Tweet enough to put aside any doubts?) I'm not opposed to rewording it in some way, but I do feel it needs to get across the message that the mother wasn't trying to malign her son, rather she was using him as an example of something he wasn't but which if he were, many would find distasteful, to try and make a point.
