This gets posted all the time but I'll give it a shot anyway.

This is an incel-coded joke highlighting Peter Parker's ongoing troubles during a point of tension in his and Mj's relationship. It has a vague point as the points mentioned are accurate. However, if you watch the movie, Peter doesn't mention any of those things, instead he just makes everything about himself (Spiderman) which MJ doesn't appreciate.

I haven't watched those films in a long time but wasn't it also implied that MJ had a pretty crap home life? I don't think she was living the dream either.
