If women were in charge, all men's underwear would come with an expiration date.

About This Quote

This quote needs no introduction—at least for now. We're working on adding more context soon.

Interpretation

The line is a comic, gender-flipped jab at domestic habits: it assumes many men keep underwear long past the point of comfort or hygiene, and imagines that women—cast as more orderly, health-conscious, or decisive about household standards—would impose a clear replacement rule. The “expiration date” metaphor borrows from food labeling to make the idea of worn-out clothing feel objectively overdue rather than negotiable. Beyond the joke, it lightly critiques how invisible labor and standards-setting in homes often fall to women, while also playing with stereotypes about male indifference to clothing maintenance.
