This is the best explanation I've seen on this so far. The other explanations of "they want their girlfriend to be a mom and take care of everything for them", while good, don't apply to men that are fine and enjoy being independent but still fall into this weird sexist "mommy gf" thing.
And even looking at the text of the meme (lol) it seems like the majority of descriptors are about being supported, which, in isolation seem entirely reasonable. Some of those other descriptors are real problematic though, which is why it’s such a complicated topic
