That's not the way I remember it. I remember being told that men having or expressing physical preferences in women was a terrible thing to do, being called a sexist, shallow pig, etc. This has been a female talking point basically my entire life. Then I remember being rejected for being 5'7". You know how we live in a world with 5 websites, each one is full of pictures of the other 4? I think I saw a Facebook post of a Tweet on Reddit that said [woman]: Grey sweatpants are for men with DICK, not men with peepee. [man]: But if I said tight jeans are for girls with ass, not long backs, I'd be the asshole.
I find that level of sheer hypocrisy is pretty effective at eroding my capacity for empathy.
Want another example? How about this cycle:
And for some reason they expect me to automatically give a damn when the Republicans take their rights away?
Women are very vocal about not being on my side. So guess what? I'm not on theirs. Gasp.
If you feel unwelcome on Lemmy just for being a woman, as far as I'm concerned you can go somewhere else.
Your concerns for a lot of your life experiences are completely valid, but when you make the jump from "a lot of women have been assholes to me" to "women are assholes", you fall into the same pitfall people are criticizing in this thread. There are a lot of women who are assholes. There are a lot of men who are assholes. Let's criticize those behaviors, and make society a little bit better insofar we're able to, rather than join their ranks.
Based response.
Jesus Christ, dude. Learn some empathy
Everyone is shallow, that's not exclusive to any gender. Some people are shitty, others can have hard-line views due to experienced trauma. Doesn't mean you should generalize, men and women are not monoliths. Just trying to understand the lived experience of the other side goes a long way.
Jesus Christ, dude. Learn some reading comprehension.
Judging by how the votes in this thread are going, my lived experience isn't worth considering, so I now have no intention of considering anyone else's. Fuck empathy. It's not worth trying.
Oh grow up, what are you? An angsty teenager?
Life isn’t that hard.
You’re talking about the most shallow, vapid women out there. The women i’ve met have generally never talked like that. So no, you don’t get a pass to hate on women just because you saw some FB memes that hurt your fee fees…
They didn't say those weren't true women, this is not how no true scotsman works
I'd ask who hurt you but evidently it's just yourself
I give a damn about Republican douchebaggery because I'm not like those kinds of people, I don't want to be a monster like them. I want to be able to look in the mirror and see someone who's better than that. How women react will never affect me acting on my morals, they don't control me.
