As a chronic pain sufferer this is too real.

One of the many things that bug me about that show is the fact that Sheldon exists as a poor portrayal and misconception of what Autism looks like and how it is used as an excuse for being an asshole at times.

SkYlAr Is A bItCh!!

14 year olds who can't see women as people and glorifies drug lords and crime

Edit: thanks for the formatting tip

Why go to mass when you can go to ass?

Your kidding me right? Comparing feminism to religion when most religions are anti-feminist is a whole new level of deranged takes that I wouldn't expect to see on Lemmy.

I don't think you understand what the no true Scottsman fallacy is, nor the fact that you are employing it. I am a feminist, aka the Scottsman, and you are attempting to define what I am. What I am and what I support is not defined by you. Think about the relevance of your own experiences first. Consider that you are not a feminist and I am, and why that would make you qualified to define my beliefs (hint: it doesn't).

The idea that some women are responsible for other people's behaviors is a tale as old as time. Feminists are not responsible for the actions of misandrists and TERFs. We are people, with our own thoughts and feelings. Stop holding us accountable for the actions of people that we don't even associate with.

By taking on patriarchy, feminists are advocating for men's issues too because the patriarchy hurts everyone. Issues such as men's mental health, male sexual assault victims, homelessness, lack of paternity leave, are all under the umbrella of feminism. Men who say they are not feminists are acting against their own self interests.

No, just like how in the usual 'girl boring guy quirky' memes, girls aren't allowed to be quirky.

Br***** people. Don't be so crude please.

Your wife went through hell and back, there's no doubt about that. But to watch a loved one suffer is pain in its own right. It may be small compared to what she went through, but that doesn't make it unimportant. In the same way that the joy of having a child doesn't diminish the pain, the magnitude of your wife's suffering doesn't diminish yours either. Take care.

I'm so sorry for what your wife went through, and what you had to watch. That is absolutely horrifying.

I completely agree with what you've said, and I wish more people can come to understand that live births are not the rainbows and sparkles that we've been conditioned into believing, but a life or death, permanently disfiguring, or traumatizing process it is.

For anyone disagree with you: Can there be beauty, humor, and joy in this? There absolutely can. None of this is about sucking away the joy of childbirth, it's about addressing the nonchalant attitudes and assumptions that many non-birthing people have about it. There is a time and place for everything, and a joke at the expense of someone giving birth that they didn't find funny being posted on social media isn't a tasteful one.

Does this make that guy the most horrible person? No. This isn't about that one guy, it's about addressing a cultural attitude towards childbirth is that is harmful to women, many of which get the wrong ideas about childbirth. It's about the trivialization of mental health of new mothers, something that I'm sure lots of men can empathize with.

The irony of you quoting that.

Yeah, for all the high praise about Lemmy and all the shit posts about Reddit, this community lacks self awareness when it comes to making women feel like people, let alone feel welcome here. Outside of 196 and a few small instances, this place is getting infested with edgy 14 year old r/dankmemes boys.

Inb4 someone invalidates this, think about the relevance of your own experiences before commenting.

See the last two sentences.

Lemmy is 77% men. If you want memes where the punchline isn't women's bodies being a piece of meat, go to Tumblr.

We've moved on to boomer memes already? Redditors must have brought their r/dankmeme shit here.

What's with all the memes shitting on vegetarianism? I'm a meat eater, but I feel like Lemmy has just been swarmed with edgy 14 year old redditors who thrive on jokes about 'vegetarianism bad meat good'.

I disagree.

Most cops don't have a problem telling a tazer from a Glock. They successfully shoot the nearest random black person with it all the time.

Ok, groomer.

I don't know why you bother arguing. Mr. 'I've sat through 2 live births' here is clearly the expert on the subject matter here because every birth is exactly the same as what his partner went through and nothing has ever gone wrong for other people in the history of every birth.

I mean, look at him, he sat there. He's practically experienced what childbirth is like for every mother in existence.
