You're absolutely right, joking about women is to far.
Classic 2012 Reddit response. Lemmy has a sexism problem and it shows.
You remind me of the ”I’ll never talk to women in the office again” people during the me too movement.
You are mistaken I would never say anything negative about women (unless you're a women then you're correct and I am sorry)

women are half the world are you asking us to exclude them all jokes and comedy? that would be rather sexist of you
There’s ways to be funny without punching down.
Lemmy does have a sexism problem. It’s pervasive.

Are you making a meta joke that I'm just too dumb to understand? Where exactly is the misogyny here? Half of the world is women, some of them will do things that are questionable or just plain silly/funny, and jokes will be made. 🤔
You're not allowed to do that. Women are a protected class that cannot be made fun of. Men on the other hand...

Op you have mistaken commentary on social pressure to look beautiful and follow specific fashion trends as some kind of misogyny..
It's not, these are very real things women feel pressured into doing and it should be called out.
Only attractive women though.
Everyone is fine with ugly women getting plastic surgery apparently.
“Haha look at how UGLY this woman is!”
“Why do women change their appearance to be more attractive?!”
do you not know the forehead tic tac toe meme?
it is usually not meant as an insult or to call someone ugly, but its just a meme where you play tic tac toe on someones forehead
It’s clearly poking fun at this woman’s appearance by inferring she used a sharpie as mascara.
oh, sorry if its actually meant that way
I went to the commens section and found this
and assumed it was about playing forehead tic tac toe with that sharpie
That’s in the comment section, that’s not the main post.
You’re also completely side-stepping that the next meme is a direct commentary on women’s appearances following this meme making fun of a woman’s appearance.
You’re pretty defensive about making fun of women.
I did not defend the top meme because there was nothing to defend about it, its honestly a terrible meme and would be better if "women" was replaced with "people"

What?
This is gonna be another thread full of a bunch of fragile masculinity with men who feel the need to share their opinion about women without anyone asking them again
Yup, just came from one just now. Every. Single. Time. And they either deny it or double down. It's so disgusting.
Why do you think people need to be asked to express an opinion on a platform like this?
Why do y’all act so shocked when you’re called out for your sexism then?

I feel like it's because women don't yet have the option to get cybernetic implants. They can't hack the servers of the Palantir corp with a thought or jump the distance of a football field so they have to make do with lip collagen or whatever. Sad really.
Hey, gender affirming shoplifting is already a thing lol.
The top would be better if it read, "people".
Anybody got the top meme in it's original form?
None of you are helpful or funny.
This is a repost.
Cool right? We get to see the same comments again
