Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was EDIT this link is an OLD POST that contains my thesis on the state of lemmy and is not the context of the much more recent comment in the screenshot. sorry for any confusion caused by this juxtaposition, my main goal with having this linked is to expose how nothing has improved
You're viewing a single thread.
Oh, and since the exact people your post is about simply can't help themselves and are already pouring in to mansplain and make excuses for themselves, the obligatory:
I post some feminist shit, or at least critiques of men, and the comments are as expected.
Every.
Fucking.
Time.
And if I know the post you mean, it reminds me a lot of that gillette ad from a couple of years back, basically telling men they can do better, for each other if nothing else, and they came out in droves to shout that actually, they really fucking can't.
Patriarchy and the privilege it grants are one hell of a drug..
My objective? Destroy the Patriarchy, or do what I can to minimize it.
I cannot imagine being so insecure with your manness that you feel the need to protest a razor commercial asking you to be a better dude.
I've been afflicted with Manhood my whole life. And razor ads asking me to be better doesn't threaten me. In fact, they're right, I can be a better man. I should go do the dishes; just after I feel better. This debilitating minor cold is getting me real down.
I remember that commercial.
and they came out in droves to shout that actually, they really fucking can't.
Lmao. Gotta keep that bar low so people don't expect anything from us. It's surprisingly easy being a shitbag of a human; all you need is a lack of conscience
It’s surprisingly easy being a shitbag of a human; all you need is a lack of conscience
And it's surprisingly easy not to be, too - learn that sometimes it's ok, if not preferable, to shut the fuck up and listen to people taking bout their experience, without making it about you (generic you, obviously not you, Shovel). But when the world and society generally cater to you, and you've been socialised with those levels of entitlement, that thought never even crosses their minds..
I criticise men and am shocked they want to say anything in response.
Can't you just be an ally?
To sexism? No, no one should be.
