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.

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 the 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.

Two women talking to not have to talk about men, that’s correct.
This is not even remotely that meme.
