A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
None of you are helpful or funny.
I feel like it's because women don't yet have the option to get cybernetic implants. They can't hack the servers of the Palantir corp with a thought or jump the distance of a football field so they have to make do with lip collagen or whatever. Sad really.
Are you making a meta joke that I'm just too dumb to understand? Where exactly is the misogyny here? Half of the world is women, some of them will do things that are questionable or just plain silly/funny, and jokes will be made. 🤔
You're not allowed to do that. Women are a protected class that cannot be made fun of. Men on the other hand...
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.
Op you have mistaken commentary on social pressure to look beautiful and follow specific fashion trends as some kind of misogyny..
It's not, these are very real things women feel pressured into doing and it should be called out.
Only attractive women though.
Everyone is fine with ugly women getting plastic surgery apparently.
“Haha look at how UGLY this woman is!”
“Why do women change their appearance to be more attractive?!”
do you not know the forehead tic tac toe meme?
it is usually not meant as an insult or to call someone ugly, but its just a meme where you play tic tac toe on someones forehead
It’s clearly poking fun at this woman’s appearance by inferring she used a sharpie as mascara.
oh, sorry if its actually meant that way
I went to the comments section and found this
and assumed it was about playing forehead tic tac toe with that sharpie
That’s in the comment section, that’s not the main post.
You’re also completely side-stepping that the next meme is a direct commentary on women’s appearances following this meme making fun of a woman’s appearance.
You’re pretty defensive about making fun of women.
I did not defend the top meme because there was nothing to defend about it, its honestly a terrible meme and would be better if "women" was replaced with "people"
I’m talking about your other comments in this thread.
You’re very protective over being able to make fun of women. It’s interesting you chose this post to defend that.
This is gonna be another thread full of a bunch of fragile masculinity with men who feel the need to share their opinion about women without anyone asking them again
Why do you think people need to be asked to express an opinion on a platform like this?
Why do y’all act so shocked when you’re called out for your sexism then?
How does this answer my question?
No one needs permission to post their opinions here, I agree.
I don’t understand why y’all are so shocked when others have differing opinions from your incel views then. We’re allowed to disagree with you as well.
I would appreciate if you wouldn't insult me based on a flimsy assumption.
I’m simply responding to your comment defending those opinions.
You jumped in to defend men’s unwanted opinions on women unprompted. People are allowed to react to it.
I did none of those things. You simply assumed, put me in a group and then you insulted me.

Why do you think people need to be asked to express an opinion on a platform like this?
You, unprompted, jumped in to defend men who want to share their opinions on women without anyone asking them.
I'm allowed to express my opinion on this platform about what that says about you to the rest of us here.
No, I didn't defend them. I asked about the reasoning behind your opinion. I never stated my opinion.
Your actions speak for you.
Seems more like you try to speak for me.
Just responding to your initial comment.
How does this contradict what I wrote?
Yes, you respond with assumptions.
Did I say it contradicted it? Or are you making assumptions?
We're all allowed to express our opinions here, aren't we? My opinion of you is unchanged with this little game you're trying to play.
It doesn't take much to guess why you responded to that user's initial comment in a "just asking questions" type way.
Yes I assumed that you try to deny that you try to speak for me.
Yes, we are. I'm not playing a game. To be honest I'm kind of baffled how a simple question escalated like that.
Doesn't take much to guess wrong.
I was agreeing with you that we're all allowed our opinions here. Including opinions that go against the grain.
Oh I just realize that you aren't the person I initially asked the question.
With you it's that you called me an incel and assumed I have an opinion that I don't hold. I was asking a question because i was curious of how someone would arrive at a conclusion.
You’re defending incel talking points.
That’s what I meant by your actions speak for you.
You are crazy :D I'm done talking to you.
I'm so curious about the unwanted opinions on women that you'll go on to express :)
