Jesus? The guy who was famously a carpenter?

Being a carpenter and being an employed carpenter are very different situations.

Next time, leave the garbage on Reddit where it belongs.

He was a carpenter?? So more like: his mistake was being an artisan in a society that only wants mass-produced cheap shit.

Or possibly a stone mason, weirdly.

Huh? I haven't heard of that before.

Where in the bible does it explicitly say Jesus was a virgin.

I'm not even sure I get the point this comic is trying to make.

It sounds vaguely like an impossible standards kind of thing, except, well, having a job, any job, is kind of a reasonable expectation. And if it's specifically a commentary about standards held by women, since the only context clue we have on who these are is "Ladies"... it sounds like incel-ish complaining.
