Ok, I'll bite.

in what world is a comment making a joke about how this sweater would make a good gift for someone who's nursing objectification/sexist/misogynistic...?

I never said making a joke like that is any of those things. In fact, I explicitly said I didn't think they had malicious intent. I said I'm sick of reading people talk about women's bodies. I said it adds to an undercurrent of those things. If there was no underlying misogyny maybe it wouldn't be so bothersome to see talk about random women's bodies, but we are where we are. If you're going to bother commenting instead of just downvoting and moving on, please at least read my comment.

Getting a friend a nursing bra is a normal thing to do

Maybe we live in very different places, but this is not in my experience a normal thing to do. Maybe a gift card to a store that sells them, but generally most people don't know their friends maternity bra size, and even if they did, all manufacturers are slightly different regarding size and comfort and people would have to know the exact fit and clasp style they would want. I don't know you. Maybe you are surrounded by a bunch of pregnant women and have bought them all nursing bras, but this does not seem like a statement someone familiar with women, pregnant women, or bras in general would make.

You don't know OP nor their relationship with their coworkers.

You're right, I don't know their relationship, but I wasn't commenting on it here. I said that reading about someone doing that to a coworker is gross to me. It's maybe not gross to you, or their coworker, but I did not say anything about how their particular coworker would feel about it here. Again, please read the comment you're responding to.

downvoted into oblivion on probably the most progressive online community I've ever participated in

That says more about you and less about me than you're implying. A meme community on a site that's 80% men, sure sounds like a bastion of progressivism to me. Please see this fun comment chain from right here in this safe space of peace and love where someone just responds to me with sexual harassment, admits to knowing it was sexual harassment and then just doubles down only to have their comments upvoted: https://lemmy.world/comment/26712143

I legitimately do not care about about upvotes or downvotes, but if I were to, I would note that I do have a few upvotes but not one comment in agreement. Geez, I wonder why no one would want to comment. Would it be because publicly stating these opinions gets you publicly and privately harassed? Would it be because it's safer to stay silent?

The weirdest thing to me is that there is a button conveniently located right next to my username that people could use as a disagree button, but plenty have instead decided to spend their time writing comments that don't even attempt to address my point and just have been rude or hateful.

Based on most of the comments and messages, I'm guessing that the majority of people responding are men. I'm guessing, and sincerely hoping, that it's mostly young men. I shared my opinion as a woman that seeing people talk about women's bodies online has been othering. No one wanted to engage with that, much less hear it, and that's their and your prerogative, but I commented it because I felt someone should say something. Every response I have received has basically solidified that sentiment. People need to speak up because if not then you end up at a place where "progressives" see explicit sexual harassment as a fun retort to a woman expressing an opinion they don't like online. A somewhat low stakes opinion too, if I may add. I don't think I'm the first person to suggest not to make comments about other people's appearance, and it's not like I suggested slaughtering puppies. I just said I don't like when X and a lot of people seem to have taken that quite personally. To the extent they needed to comment "defending" their right to do that. I just wanted to shed some insight into my perspective. If you disagree or aren't interested in it, that's fine. You can downvote or block or send hate. Do what you need to do. I just hope I got at least one person to do some self reflection, even if their takeaway really was that I'm "off base."

You understand that your comment is just sexual harassment, right? If you disagree with my opinion that's fine, but you're just doing sexual harassment about it.

This is exactly the kind of thing that makes women feel unsafe or uncomfortable online. You're literally proving my point. You don't have to care about that, but I hope you legitimately think about what you're saying and if you would feel comfortable saying that to a human being standing in front of you whose only offense is that they expressed an opinion you disagree with.

Though I understand the underlying sentiment, and I recognize that politics isn't a once every two years thing, I disagree that it should somehow be on us on.

I would love an engaged electorate, but realistically people campaigned on a specific platform. We pay them to read the bills and ideally vote in accordance with what they said their values are. It's completely unrealistic to push that back on the constituents. Often even congresspeople don't have time to read an entire bill before they vote on it. Do I understand all the intricacies of every omnibus bill? No. I give them my hard earned money so they have the time and staff to. If I have to be on the phone all the time reminding them that they promised no more wars just so they remember to stop Trump from bombing Iran then they have failed to do their job.

Does that mean we shouldn't call and express our opinions? No, of course not. But the entire point of having representatives in a representative democracy is so that your average person doesn't have to sit down and understand the ins and outs of every policy. It's really not their job to, and especially in America it's unrealistic to act like people will. Party leadership should be the ones capable of looking around, seeing the direction the wind is blowing, and coming up with a unified vision that addresses the issues of the people that voted for the party.

Also, however much I support contacting your congressperson, and have done so often myself, I've never once had it have any affect whatsoever. I still do it, but that's not a reliable way to get policies you want to happen. The only real reliable way is to vote in someone who was going to champion that anyway.

If I remember correctly he had all his kids via IVF and selected for XY only.

If they mess up coming out of this midterm win, I will be astounded if they are able to take the presidency. Dems will never have another chance like this to really demonstrate a new vision. I hope they don't fumble it.

Does election season not count?

I'm not glossing over anything. Her plan should not have to include acquiescing to a random company's perceived morality concerns, which they regularly break for the right people. If she does not want to do nudity or hypersexualization that is her prerogative, but the only factor in that decision should be her personal desire to do so.

A lot of medical residents in the US work 80 hour shifts in pursuit of their goals. I would never say "good for them, more people should do that". I would definitely say that no one should have to be in that position to achieve their goals and we should do more as a society to prevent that from being acceptable. Not everything done in pursuit of noble or value neutral goals is good or should be emulated.

Women should be allowed to be both sexual and a princess. Maintaining the idea that they can't perpetuates the Madonna Whore complex which is counter to women's liberation. I'm not saying she's perpetuating that, but Disney certainly is if that's actually a concern actresses should have.

Let huge conglomerates dictate what projects they work on and what to do with their bodies in the off chance it's what determines their eligibility to work on future projects with them?

ICE argued Lizardo should be kept in custody while the green card case was being decided.

Well, at least they wanted to right their wrongs once it was pointed out to them. /s
