So when are women allowed back in the kitchen? Is there a point where you dont get a raised eyebrow because of stodgy outdated stereotypes? Is there a point where women can be in the kitchen without it being framed as "bad optics"? How about Black people eating watermelon and fried chicken? Or east Asians who are good at math and science? Indians in medicine and IT? The British and cultural appropriation?

Seeing everything through the eyes of stereotypes only diminishes the world, even if youre ostensibly defending against it.

    I don't know why I should respond to that. You list a bunch of things I did not say and ignore that the main point of my comment was that there's a difference between individuals and a celebration/commemoration. Feel free to disagree, but please don't put words in my mouth to argue against.

    You are the one making an issue out of it for an entire group of people because of your own perceived optics. You're not even saying you're offended. Just that there's the possibility of causing offense.

    Why does theoretical offense clearly not intended by the social media post matter? Why cant people just have fun? Why do you need to drag controversy into celebration?

    There are places that refuse to let women go out in public and you're whining that there's the possibility that a Twitter post is going to set us back 70 years somehow.

    It only matters to people who see controversy everywhere and refuse to enjoy themselves. Let me know when there's an actual issue where people are actually affected by it, otherwise I will consider you to be little more than one of those people in the middle of times square with a cardboard sign screaming that the world is run by lizards and we should drill out our fillings to keep them from controlling us.

    Let people enjoy things.
