Did you stop reading after the second sentence or are you saying that he's not allowed to have that opinion because some girl somewhere might disagree with it
He can have an opinion and it can also be really boring misogyny.
Except there is zero misogyny in that statement
I don't really want to spend a lot of time doing some critical analysis here but give it a think. Implies beauty is important for women and not men, and their beauty is contingent on his viewing. This is basic male gaze stuff.
Anyone can have an opinion, the point is that whatever my opinion is there's no reason to make it her problem.
Woman does something.
Someone thinks it's not good.
"WOW MISOGYNY"
Plot twist: these tats would also be ugly AF on a guy. Now what, mfer.
They didn't just say tattoos are ugly. They went out of his way to focus on how they detract from a woman's beauty. Not men's beauty. The subtle "women should look beautiful for me" is what's not good here.
Their take could have been worse. They acknowledged that it's harmless and not their body. That's good.
It's a picture of a woman, why would they talk about men's beauty? Jesus.
Jesus was beautiful, and he had a fabulous tattoo somewhere you'd never guess.
Offering benefit of the doubt, one might assume he referred to women's beauty in particular because this meme is about a woman, or perhaps he isn't gay/bi, and doesn't think about men's beauty. Or both. Or maybe something else. Misogyny is one of the possibilities, sure, but only one of the possibilities. I wouldn't have phrased it that way, but I don't think there's enough there to take the route of condemnation, personally.
