Lemmy has a sexism problem, frequently. It needs to get called out more.

You're absolutely right, joking about women is to far.

Classic 2012 Reddit response. Lemmy has a sexism problem and it shows.

You remind me of the ”I’ll never talk to women in the office again” people during the me too movement.

You are mistaken I would never say anything negative about women (unless you're a women then you're correct and I am sorry)

😂 Imagine doubling down on 2012 Reddit sexism.

women are half the world are you asking us to exclude them all jokes and comedy? that would be rather sexist of you

There’s ways to be funny without punching down.

Lemmy does have a sexism problem. It’s pervasive.

Would it be funny making a joke about some random guy being fat and ugly?

This literally happens all the time and no one complains about it because "man bad"

Okay in insight, I didn't pick a good example. Let me try again

You wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) make fun of a gym-bro starting to take anabolic steroids to look more buff.

That person is suffering from body dysmorphia. Modern beauty standards can push people to extreme or sometimes dangerous treatment. See how the situation is similar to a woman feeling she needs to do facial surgery and take weight-losing drugs, to fit into an impossible beauty standard?

Neither of those situations are good nor should be made fun of. Agree?

But then we had several posts making fun of women in that situation, and someone rightfully called out the blatant sexism.
