yep. the difference is, when women have been disadvantaged they tend to create spaces and pathways to talk about or change it. unfortunately a lot of men tend to isolate, even though they are not alone. then when they see something about a women receiving help through programs created by women for women their feelings of being abandoned by the system come up again. it's just another way that toxic masculinity hurts everyone. the fix for that is of course feminism, but it's a pretty massive barrier for most men to accept that.

yep it's pretty horrible. any time gender issues are brought up there's dozens of comments saying "what about the men" and completely missing the point

I got towels, cast iron pans, and a new knife for Christmas and couldn't have been happier.

I'm still a bed by the wall person though. when me and my partner get a house that will probably change, but for now I like having a corner to sit up against.

your mom probably walked through one while pregnant /s

some of us had to work. not everyone has parents who can hold down jobs and bring in money. I worked at a grocery store cause it was easy to grab the perfectly good expired stuff being tossed.

I agree. I didn't say you're wrong. I'm just saying that the way this the meme is phrased creates a false equivalency that is misleading unless spelled out like you did

I'm not a democrat and if I ever turn into one please put me down

lemmy actually tends to skew older than a lot of platforms (ive seen stats for this around just don't have any on hand). the person I responded to above is actually one of the creators of lemmy. unfortunately, lemmy also skews towards chronically online and white, which means there's a lot of those opinions floating around.

great point I should have simply not worked and let my family starve. truly genius intellect
