The very short verbiage leaves a large question as to what is happening in the moment. The song itself indicates the woman he’s singing to doesn’t have the same commitment to him as he does to her. Using that as a starting point, if her reaction is to ask him to do the dishes, there’s still no commitment on her part.
Pro tip: "Id take a bullet for you" "id rope the moon for you" "I'd crawl across hot coals for you" and similar sentiments long outdate Bruno Mars.
The meme uses a line from his song, I guess, but the sentiment is much broader and my guess is that the person who originally posted doesn't only mean this one singy guy.
As someone in a healthy relationship, just being a functional human with empathy is absolutely enough.
Women don’t need protection, they can buy a weapon for that. They need someone who can give and take in a healthy relationship. It’s not more complicated than that.
People who can’t do the dishes can’t even take care of themselves, let alone someone else.
“Without me asking”… there’s not even a division of labor issue presented in the meme. It’s that this woman doesn’t appreciate that man for who he is, she would rather he anticipate what she wants done and when. But as the above commenter points out, “the dishes” aren’t the problem. There’s never going to be an end to the things this woman wants this man to be trained to do to please her.
And as I pointed out, this isn’t a thing that is just a relationship goal, she’s cutting him off mid declaration of love to get her points in. That’s a main character issue. She’s not even interested in the relationship, she wants the subservience up front and center.
