Society as we know it sucks. It’s run by pedophiles.

The girls are alright, witches are making a comeback, nature is healing

[–] Seasm0ke@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The manosphere is much more likely to try and enslave these women using headlines like this as justification.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

If not just murder them outright

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Oh no! The wimminz are gonna want to make their own decisions about their lives instead of allowing us to be in charge!

(If you think that way, you are a pathetic tiny dick manchild. Grow the fuck up.)

I'm raising one of them. I wouldn't call her angry, but she's a fighter.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unclear if you're talking about a daughter, or a cat.

Really could be either. Does she push things off coffee tables? Wait, that proves nothing. Your daughter might be two....

Two cats? Yeah, I have that knocking things off MY table 😁

If she's not angry, she just doesn't know enough about how the world works yet.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 12 points 1 week ago

I doubt Greta is “radicalizing” them. Simple observation combined with common sense will do that all on its own.

Since when is legal equality, capacity to make life choices, and education “radicalizing”?

The entire flow of this item is bizarre.

Angry women have been the only thing keeping this system from achieving its dream of global destruction.

[–] fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have to admit I chuckled, because it's probably true... (and it's not difficult to dwell in cynicism these days...)

[–] orioler25@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I mean, it is true, that's the joke. So much of what liberals take credit for as "progress" would not be possible if not for the actions of a bunch of angry women. They've historically been indispensible organisers of resistance from civil and social rights movements to militaristic revolutions.

Cheesus. "Radicalized" by Greta Thunberg, who never did or (afaik) even considered violent action. Talk about fragile masculinity.

Who is this Rowan Pilling, what more nonsense did ~~he~~ they write under this headline? I need a good laugh with my coffee.

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Brian, Rowan Pelling is a woman.

I am worried about them.

Namely, I'm worried that there aren't enough of them.

Given the surrealist nature of The Tick, I can imagine him saying

I am very proud of our angry little women

But I can't imagine The Tick making it about politics. So one of two things is true. Either

A) The Tick never said that. In which case I'm confused how you read this story/headline, and immediately assosiated it with The Tick.

Or

B) There's some episode where "leftie" doesn't pertain to politics, and you're using the quote for the meme, although out of context.

So I guess my question is, which episode is this from? I grew up on The Tick, and I don't remember this line. I'm less versed in the comics. Is it from the comic, even though this is a screenshot from the 1995 animated show?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

It's actually

C) I didn't make it myself AND likely

D) The Tick is just there because whomever made it happens to like him and/or consider the pose fitting for being proud of someone or something 🤷🏻

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think more likely they have no idea who the Tick is and just wanted a quirky looking superhero to say something quirky.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Oddly enough, saying quirky things is kinda The Tick's whole thing.

So, from that petspective, they probably picked the best superhero.

[–] canniest_tod@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I was surprised to learn that Rowan Pelling is a woman. Then I found out she wrote for the Daily Mail at one time, and it all came into view.

Who is this idiot, and which rag is stupid enough to publish him?

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I like it. All I ever hear about is Zoomer and Gen Alpha women buying into the whole tradwife line of bullshit. It's good to see there's a strong countertrend.

[–] ellen.kimble@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Inspired by the 4B movement in South Korea after overturning roe v wade. If society and government is taking away our rights now, the social contract is broken

[–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Can you imagine writing this unironically? SMDH

[–] 5715@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

[human] females in the subtitle, patriarchy collapse = civilisation collapse fearmongering, pro-capitalism; it's an all-inclusive package
