The top would be better if it read, "people".

    “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"

    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. 🤔

    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.

  • 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.

    Well humor is subjective, but beyond how I feel personally, uhhh yeah people do it all the time and it never gets called out as body shaming or any such thing, nobody cares. Bald, fat, ugly, small dick, all are fair game, especially if you have at least one other undesirable trait. Andrew Tate is balding, Trump is fat and has a little dick, anyone who has a large vehicle also has a small dick, anyone who owns guns has a small dick, the British have a small dick, etc, it's everywhere and everyone else seems to love it.

    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.

    Excuse me but Reddit sexism would be calling women whores, threatening to rape them and then telling them to kill themselves. This is not even close to 2012 reddit sexism.

    Fair. I’m glad you edited this comment. Originally you claimed I invented Reddit sexism. Glad to see this change. Someone else said this.

    I’ll revise what I said. Maybe 2015 Reddit is more accurate. That’s when the me too movement was kicking off.

    A lot of men did a stupid thing where they weirdly reacted to the movement where they said:

    “I don’t know what’s allowed any more. Woe is I. I guess I just won’t talk to women in the office any more.”

    What you said about jokes with women is very similar to this. “Someone said Lemmy has a sexism problem. I guess you can’t make jokes involving women any more”

    Lemmy can be a better place. We can make it that way together.

    You are hallucinating I never edited my comment.

    I have a line for what I consider to be sexist. This is no where near it. Joking about women drawing on eyebrows or attractive women wanting plastic surgery is no where near sexist. I could be nice but sometimes you just got to take the piss out of dumb comments.

    If you want to fight that crusade good luck to you because it will be an uphill battle. The line for what is acceptable has regressed significantly.

    You are right. Someone else said that. My bad. I guess I would ask you to consider the targets of the jokes, see where they say the line is.

    Its impossible to "ask women" they arent a monolith I would never get anywhere. I have my lived experience and joke with women every day. I have crossed the line enough to get a sense of where it is with the people I interact with. If you're trying to reign harmless jokes like these memes then you're fighting a hard fight. The line for whats acceptable online is very blurry.

    Idk maybe people need to start making some more women focused memes to get a feel for where the line is on c/memes. Here is one i made off the dome.

    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.

    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.

    Yes, we are. I'm not playing a game. To be honest I'm kind of baffled how a simple question escalated like that.
