  Why would this apply only to girls?

    OP: I like waffles.

    YOU: oh so you hate pancakes?

    OP: No man. WTF are you talking about? Those are 2 different things.

    cause traditionally/stereotypically feminine things are seen as stupid, useless, and cringe while masculine ones are seen as serious, deep, and respectable.

    trans people also show that being a man is seen as an “upgrade” while being a woman a “downgrade” (trans men don’t get a fraction of the hate trans women do). same thing with tomboys-femboys.

      If you think boys aren’t ridiculed (for literally anything) you’ve never been to school.

      So, boys, might as well do what you want.

      so why exclude men who are made fun of for feminine expression?

      there are definitely socialized negative biases that specifically women deal with, but being exclusionary doesn’t actually help the cause, it just narrows the audience that is allowed to relate to the cause.

      and it applies in gender neutral situations, like drawing literally anything in jr.high/highschool would grant the name ____fucker, no matter the benign nature of the variable being drawn.

      it’s a good little rule that doesn’t need to devolve into a cultural battle about which group gets to identify with it more.

      i constantly talk about the atheist/mra vs feminist war which just put everyone on the defensive, destroying active efforts in fighting groups like the heritage foundation, who are now doing unimaginable systemic harm to women through destruction of academic spaces and scientific efforts around women’s health largely propped up by religious fundamentalist efforts.

      sometimes you have to be like “there’s something specific about this group which we don’t want being lost in the current conversation,” but also sometimes it’s good to be less rigid about which generalized group is allowed to identify with or benefit from progressive ideals.

    Because that’s their lived experience. You want to post about guys, go ahead.

      Sure, make a post about guys and see how long it takes these same users to comment saying “why is this unnecessarily gendered?!? Women experience this too!” Or even “That’s not an issue men face! It’s clearly a women’s issue.”

    It doesn’t say that it only applies to girls its a screencap of part of conversation from people we have little context about.

    And “sir”

    Shit like this makes my blood boil… "Trauma-dump”… Posting something here that deliberately leaves out half the population …

    This is a shitpost community.

      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.)

    It doesn’t, and they did not say it did.

    Akshullee, they didn’t say it did - just that girls get teased over everything. I don’t have the correct parts to validate that, however.

  I’m a guy, but I was born with a hand anomaly that I was mercilessly teased about when I was a kid. I had this realization when I was in kindergarten, and it gave me the confidence to be who I want to be for the rest of my life. It is indeed a powerful mindset if you can actually believe it, though it does make you a bit of an outcast when the other kids realize teasing doesn’t work on you. Even the kids that don’t tease their peers will think you’re weird for not reacting to it.

  This is clearly a screenshot of a post about girls from another platform. It’s not been manipulated to be about one gender or another, it just is what it is. I’d love to comment about the content itself. Instead I have to ask:

  What groups would straight white cis men not what-about-me on? Ethnic minorities? Physical disabilities? LGBTQIA+? Why when it’s women you think your privilege is legit? Do you ever think this post is not applicable to you? Are there any posts you would be ok to just feel free to stfu and scroll on?

  Honest questions because I am baffled why this always is occurring

    You should see how often men insist on barging into the womensstuff community and refusing to follow the rules.

    It really bothers some men when women exist without acknowledging them.

    Im not sure why its so hard to see why people would be able to relate to posts about other genders. There is a lot of shared commonality. Maybe its just a lack of empathy.

      Signtist did that, exceedingly well. This comment is not about that.

  The men/enbies in the comments should make their own post instead of freeloading on women all the time

  I feel like people often take something that’s generally true and attribute it to something specific about them.
