  Look again at the xkcd comic (I did before posting the comment). The sandwich-making person is not obviously female, in fact he(?) looks rather male according to xkcd convention.

    "make me a sandwich" has been a saying to dismiss women for decades before the xkcd comic existed.

      Context always matters. Phrases can also be normalized through everyday use without the negative connections.
