Man I thought both women and men were getting this the whole time. I was way off.
HA!
Can someone explain this to me?
If you remove the capital letters, "the first lady" got Covid could imply that only men have gotten it up to this point
Ah, that makes sense now, thanks.
Maybe this is just the first woman who is hoity-toity enough to be called lady
You’re saying so far it’s just been the wenches and hags?
Maybe a few maidens as well. Though not Nichelle Nichols.
Yeah, I know your mom's had it lots of times. No one calls her "lady" though, for good reason.
Sure they do but it usually includes "of the night".
What do you equate Trump's hands to? I know you gotta have one ready cause you couldn't have been that stupid to walk into it like this. It's like you're eating a bag of crispy turd chips and yelling that someone smells like shit.
Feed the troll and more show up 😂 Fuck off trumper
Not sure why you're being downvoted. This is a pretty harmless joke. My guess is people didn't read thoroughly and thought you got political.
Right, I upvoted them because I felt bad. Unless I'm missing something, it seems like they were just adding to the first joke. I think you're right that people probably mistook it for being political.
Pretty sure it was the overtly transphobic second post that had a lot of people like me backfilling that initial downvote.
I don't see a transphobic second post...?
Probably because the fediverse has an unusually high amount of sticks up butts relative to its userbase.
