Truth is, it reads more like “she can do everything” and “him, it’s just Ken”
And ken is a slang used in French that means “to fuck”
So “Him, it’s just fucking”
Which I think is even more hilarious
there is no greater proof that no one cares about ken than the fact that in french a ken doll is literally a fuck toy and none of us knew about it
Had to explain it to some friends this morning so I’m copying it here

friend 2: johannes please confirm
me: I can confirm
you can read it like “She can do anything. He’s just Ken.” and that’s clearly the intent but there’s a type of slang called verlan where you basically reverse words https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verlan
“verlan” is verlan of “l'envers” (reversed) like if you want to say idk “policeman” there’s the correct word “policier” but there’s also among other words the more familiar “flic” and if you say it in verlan it’s “keuf”. COUREZ YA LES KEUFS (that would be one of the local equivalents of RUN, THE PIGS ARE COMING)
SO
one of the words to say “to fuck” is “niquer”. And the verlan of that one is “ken”. HAHAHA TU T'ES FAIT KEN (HAHAHA GET FUCKED) SO tldr you can also read that tagline like “She can do anything. He can just fuck.”
