I just found out about this hilarious meme, which takes photos of men going all out to capture images of their girlfriends looking awesome. It's a facebook page.
Here are some articles:

Here some pics of boyfriends supporting their girlfriend's vanity:
Cosmopolitain has a funny article out saying that it's sexist garbage:

It's funny, it comes off as really butthurt:
The newest way to publicly shame women who are simply feeling themselves comes in the form of this "Boyfriends of Instagram" Facebook page, which is dedicated to making fun of women who ask their partners to take cute pictures of them.
The Facebook page has more than 22,000 likes, and has been covered by no shortage of online publications. Elite Daily likes that the page showcases "the ridiculous things that boyfriends do" to get an Insta-worthy shot. Mashable took the route of tongue-in-cheek humor about how dumb all the resulting photos of these women are. Even a local Fox News affiliate covered the Facebook page, noting how courageous it is of these boyfriends to "stand in potentially dangerous places and even hold a purse in public" in order to get a perfect photo for their loved ones.
What all the coverage of this Facebook page has yet to point out is how blatantly sexist the premise of it is. Look to the captions on the photos posted to the page. There's this one, which refers to two women posing for a normal-*** beach photo as "chicks" and assumes the guy taking the picture "got laid" for using three seconds of his life to take a picture.
