It doesn’t say that it only applies to girls its a screencap of part of conversation from people we have little context about.
And “sir”
This is a shitpost community.
So it's trauma-dumping when a man does it, but when a woman does it it's just "a part of a conversation" or "women talking about their experiences"?
I think that double-standard is precisely what this conversation is about.
We talk about how it's an issue that men aren't allowed to talk about their problems or their feelings, but that's clearly just an abstract idea to some people because when men actually do try to talk about those things, it's always the same reaction.
Not at all…
It just appears rather obvious from that text that Asetru their anger against op came from a very specific personal injustice done to them. Channeling it in such way where you direct anger at a demographic is toxic, regardless of gender.
I do disagree a lot with how op responded, they where over reacting in a similar way, i didn’t call them out because the longer this ordeal went on the more people seemed to prove that they have a real point to be frustrated about it.
You did prove the same thing. My comment isn’t gender specific, i don’t know what Astetru identifies as (thats part why i put the sir is in quotes) any gender can argue in favour of any gender. That is not that unusual.
And yet you perceived it as directed at one gender and came in with a “but what about the other gender”
I really didn’t want to believe that this “always happens” but the evidence here says it either is or this is targeted trolling against op.
Yes, but why are we making fun of a guy for doing what he loves (posting "but what about men?" In a post talking about women)?
(This is a joke btw.)
If we don't make fun of him for litterally everything he does he'll never realize he has license to do what he wants
Doesn't that prove his initial point though?
Would you have the same reaction to a woman posting "but what about women?" In a post talking about men?
Yes. It's literally the waffles/pancakes meme.
Two women talking do not have to talk about men.
Okay well it happens all the time. Like men talking about something that effects them as men and someone goes "why do you hate women?!?"
I agree that that's pancakes and waffles, but only calling it out when it's men commenting on a post about women is a double-standard. Very likely the men who pointed that out on this post were doing so as a result of and/or to call out that double-standard.
Can you show me an example of this happening in this community?
Because we have men actually asking "what about men?" in this thread right here. It's not theoretical, it actually happened.
It's not theoretical either. If everything that happens becomes merely "theoretical" as soon as the thread moves out of the all-feed, then we'll be stuck in an endless loop like Groundhog's Day.
I'm telling you it happens all the time and you'd have to be selectively ignoring it not to see it.
If it happens all the time in this community, you would be able to share something with me. I'm honestly curious because I haven't seen that kind of reaction here.
I'll point it out next time I see it
I'm excited to see what you mean :)
Two women talking do not have to talk about men, that's correct.
This is not even remotely that meme.
It's two women talking to each other.
Saying girls get made fun of for everything does not mean these women are claiming boys are never made fun of.
