This meme is meant to point out the ignorance of people who may say patriarchy doesn't exist when in reality, it's happening all around them or maybe they're even participating subconsciously. This definitely correlates to the reading "Understanding Patriarchy", by Bell Hooks as she couldn't do similar activities as her brother because it was considered unlike for her gender, and situations like this happen everywhere.
"To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed."
- This to me means, that when you're getting ready to take a photo you are bringing the spotlight of attention and awareness to whatever you deem. Its like your acknowledging their value by capturing it.
"What is written about a person or an event is frankly an interpretation, as are handmade visual statements, like paintings and drawings."
- Looking at a picture, it can lead your mind in many directions, questions, and inferences about what's going on in the picture. So the picture doesn't necessarily have to conform to a singular definition/interpretation as many things can be taking place or be felt from the picture.
