Domino effect meme but with "Lord Byron pains his ex-wife so much that she ensures their daughter becomes a mathematician" to this --

Was so disappointed that he did not. Miss Universe France has set standards

unless you're an immigrant woman in which case you're one of those dreadful dependents. In that case you should somehow work as well as bring up a family quietly and out of sight.

Petition to ban 30+ year olds talking about their achievements in school in a serious way

Sorry but this is literally what the seniors used to force first-years to eat during "ragging" in Indian engineering colleges in the 1980s
