A side-by-side comparison meme titled 'Taking a Picture' contrasting how girls and boys are stereotypically portrayed taking photos. The left section labeled 'Girls:' shows a group of young women in a bathroom, playfully posing for a selfie with peace signs, a pink selfie stick, and mirrored reflections.

Origin notes

Originates from Reddit's r/Meme community as a user-created collage. Combines two separate real-life photographs: a candid bathroom selfie of young women and an image of two men (including a figure colloquially called 'El presidente') in an industrial environment. Created using basic image editing to format as a side-by-side comparison, typical of 'Girls vs Boys' meme templates.
