This meme has been reported as misogyny. Upon investigation the complaint has been dismissed.
It's kinda sexist tho.
But you could swap the sexes or have them both be men and it would still work, so I'm not sure that it really is sexist.
It is sexist. The problem is that most people have an amount of sexism that they tolerate, ignore or even enjoy. There's the common belief of "sexism = bad" which often turns into "not bad = not sexism". Which leads to people identifying things as "not sexism" when in fact it's just super tame or harmless sexism. Obviously the line is different for different people, and obviously intent matters. But it doesn't make it not sexist.
In this case the joke isn't really causing much harm, the intent is to be funny and advocate for women's rights. So I say it gets a pass on the sexism front. But others find it misleading and divisive.
Swapping the genders of the presenters doesn't matter, men can be misandrist and women can be misogynist
I got confused and replied to the wrong post 🤣
Kind of a self own, no?
The one reporting it is thinking “some girls do be like that tho”.
I did want to provoke a discussion though, that was my point. I am guilty of that.
I didn't make the meme, found it in the wild. I rarely make my own.
