Would you have the same reaction to a woman posting “but what about women?” In a post talking about men?
Comment on mindset
Donkter@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoYes, 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.)

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.

Two women talking to 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 say that boys never get made fun of.

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?
