      What is up with the influx of misogynistic rhetoric on Lemmy lately? We don’t support that here.

        Its tongue in cheeck. Of all the inequalities between women and men this is super low on the list. Have you heard how actual misogynists speak?

          “Haha I was just kidding” is precisely what people say when called out on insults like this.

          It’s not funny, and yes, it’s exactly the type of things misogynists say.

            Funny how when there’s a thread about misogyny on Lemmy, the comments are full of guys chiming in about “never seeing it.” But when someone points out problematic comments in real time, the downvote ratio is always wack.

            Which means guys are seeing it. Which makes it hard not to assume that, for many, the ignorance is willful.

            If someone is unironically basing a sense of gender superiority on having pockets I feel bad for them.
