Nice Username!
You mean women are people who knows how to navigate to a website, sign up for accounts, and express our own points of view on different topics? How could this be possible?
our own points of view
Excellent gif from and excellent animated movie.
… OK, first time I’ve ever got this reaction for something I thought that was pretty obvious.
It is, I didn’t mean any harm, I was just playing into a joke.
It’s all good!

Every woman I know is making scrapbooks, knitting her own hats and some more for others, taking care of some kids
Wow… there’s a lot to unpack here… have you ever met a woman before?
I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram, posting their best moments online. Ofc similar for some good-looking men as well. That’s why I assume most people here are either men or lgbtq+.
So anyone on a website other than instagram is an ugly man or a lesbian…
…man the hot takes just keep coming don’t they?
I’m almost guaranteeing that the person you are replying to is making a joke, because of how ludicrous it sounds. “I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram” implies that the commenter has literally never met a woman in their entire life and only knows about them via a website that they’ve never even been to themselves, as the information about them being on instagram is itself second hand. Like, it literally makes women sound like cryptids.
But like, how is a human being possible without penis and balls? Where does the pee come from? Where do they store it?
I don’t know man, seems a bit too surreal to me.
Go look at their reply (or post history) then tell me that.
Huh, I never said ugly. Do not put words in my mouth.
good-looking men as well
What’s the opposite of good-looking? I swear context is impossible for most people on the internet.
Average-looking men, obviously.

Oh cool she definitely represents the entire female population of the world. Maybe you should go try and meet a second or even third woman (not including your mother), it might give you a broader perspective.

You really are confused, I never asked for a list, and didn’t take this personally in any way.
I just think you have some weird misogynistic views of what a woman is, and what their interests are.
Is your sister even real bro?
my sister frequently sends me reddit memes and tried for years to get me to play league of legends
This comment is so sad lmao. Let me introduce you to this awesome idea, and I ask that you please read it in the SpongeBob voice for “imagination”: anecdotes aren’t evidence
bro’s only example of women who don’t use reddit is a woman he assumes doesn’t use reddit
Your sister sounds kinda boring ngl
I choose to believe your post is finely crafted satire.
Finely?
I don’t understand why men are even on here. Every man I know is so busy chopping down trees, wrestling bears and building log cabins. How does anyone on here even find the time!?

Whoah. I spend time drinking alcohol straight from the bottle, too.

I’m a woman. My most frequently practiced hobbies are watching my fiancé cook, playing with my cat, dicking around on the internet, and playing word games. Because hobbies are to relax and I’m working and getting a Masters. When I had more time, I also danced a bunch and played Pokémon go.
The things the women in your life are doing, are providing services for the people around them, through food, knitted goods, and photo albums. Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one.
Six years ago, my terrible ex would have said that I loved reading organizational blogs and baking, but that’s because he was a slob whose family had weekly parties that I was expected to bake for. Maybe all the women in your life are stepford bots, but maybe you should try learning to knit or cook with some of them, and see if they branch out or just need some help.
Edit: grammar
I learnt cross stitch off me mum as a lad.
TL:DR for the folks at home:
“The things the women in your life are doing, is providing service for the people around them….”
“Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one. [note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]
No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.
I completely overlooked the mistake until now, it should be: “are providing services for the people around them…”
I got what you mean, I was just agreeing with you, I don’t correct anyone until at least 2 hours after getting out of bed anyway.
When I have time to kill I dick around online and usually ignore anything else I could do. Every woman I know is making scrapbooks, knitting her own hats and some more for others, taking care of some kids, building and maintaining relationships with people in the real world, cooking amazing food just because they want it, getting involved in the community, working some extra side jobs, and generally doing stuff to make their world and the world around them better.
Are there any women you know who aren’t housewives?
If kids means dogs this is my mom. She’s retired and I’m her roommate. It’s kinda nice.
There is just a general assumption that they’re smart enough not to waste their time with it and they have better things to do, like actual hobbies and friends/family to see.
Did you actually ask other people what they think, or are you projecting? Because this doesn’t represent me at all

My husband is mad because I’m further in the story than him, lol
My wife and I are waiting
until marriageuntil we have some free time this holiday to play it co-op. We’ve had similar problems in the past with games like Warcraft 3, but the amazing coop system in the Borderlands franchise has allowed us to log hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing together - hoping that BG3 works similarly well enough.The co-op is pretty good, though there are a few tiny frustrations - I can’t automatically use an npc party member’s skills in conversations (like guidance or bardic inspiration) if they’re under my husband’s control instead of mine, for instance. Our problem is that we both want to finish the storyline for ourselves before making storyline decisions in our co-op campaign and I have an entire day off that he doesn’t thanks to working 4 10s instead of 5 8s. So I have to wait for him to push ahead in his campaign before we can play ours, but I can just play mine at my leisure, lol.

The fact you think motivation, caring for you family, and having social media are mutually exclusive says a lot about you. If you think women on Reddit, lemmy, whatever social media are unmotivated because they don’t knit hats and care for children or whatever you define as womanhood you might need to reflect on what you think womanhood is outside of your personal experiences with the women in your social bubble.
Women might use Reddit or lemmy or a number of social media sites to find a social group to connect with that they don’t have in their immediate area, just like men do. They are normal people who don’t have to adhere to whatever gender ideologies society wants to ascribe to them. Also spending time on sites like this can just be an hour in the morning or evening not an entire life so you might never see them do it.
Joke’s on him, I’m totally unmotivated and I knit(well, crochet) hats. In fact, I craft to avoid responsibilities, lol
Excuse me?! Being on Lemmy is “doing shit”. VERY important shit. I have shit to read and memes to laugh at. There is nothing more important in life.
Pretty big self report there lmao.
I’m a woman and I do knit and bake as a hobby, I also 3d print and design, do some robotics and I’m a cybersecurity professional. I have joined and participate in online communities for all of those TBF the crochet community in Reddit is one of the most awesome and welcoming i have ever seen.
Nice neckbeard energy you got there. Especially how you tried to double down and all. My lady’ing the shit out of this.
Sorry about the grainy, difficult to read image. I am on mobile and couldn’t find a better version right now.

People like margot robbie here are enough reason to know that this shitpost is not making any good points, it’s literally a joke
Margot robbie is that woman from stranger things right? I’m lost on the reference here though, is she super sexist against other women or something? I only really know her from that show 🤔
When was I ever in Stranger Things? I was recently in a fairly popular movie. You may have seen ads for it in the last few months.
Also, that’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!
It’s so weird that you keep it up. You’ve been committed to this for like half a year basically every day now?
I had a friend who roleplayed as Napoleon on Facebook for multiple years. You just need dedication (plus they told me it was pretty entertaining).
Not that it has anything to do with Ms. Robbie here, obviously.

I’ve yet to see it happen, but if it does, let me know.
4chan seems to just be a place for emotionally stunted incels and wannabe sex offenders to hang out and share their deeply misguided views.
It makes you wonder what sort of human being actually pays to keep the place running and thinks they’re doing good :-(
thinks they’re doing good :-(
Maybe they’re trying to keep them in one place, where thry can be observed?
It obviously hasn’t worked.
Man, it’s freedom of speech. I can ask the same questions before cutting out and blocking some of the most polarized communities on Lemmy.
4chan isn’t really that bad honestly. It’s just the epitome of “FrEe SpEeCh”, and as a consequence it attracts a crapton of social outcasts who finally have a place to vent their horrible opinions.
The 10% of the site that isn’t talking about women or politics is actually pretty nice.
Hours after the Charlottesville car attack that killed Heather Heyer I went to /b/ to see if anyone wanted to virtually protest the alt-right white supremacist websites, and it was filled with post after post urging people to kill more protestors with their cars.
Because that’s virtually the only place where you can do that and not get banned. So obviously all the nutjobs flocked there to do it.
Doesn’t change that there’s still fun discussion sometimes on the site, although it’s hardly worth it when it’s so full of misogyny and alt-right propaganda. I admire the people that manage to stay sane in there.
Exceptions to rules prove them, my friend.
Most people think it’s just kind of a free speech hellhole, but it’s not, that’s just the coat of paint the site took on/has always slightly had. Remnants of an idealized 1990’s internet space where people thought everything would be free to use and free to access, and the storage would be infinite, ironically concocted by out-of-touch yuppies who didn’t work on the pipes. In reality, free speech bullshit is always just a cover for admins to be able to enforce whatever totally inconsistent rules that they want without any form of repercussion, because obviously there are limits, even just legally, in terms of keeping the site up, and keeping it free from commercial spam, and having advertisers stay on. Most rules you can concoct have some sort of exception, or lack of clarity, or are too restrictive, so it really just falls down to some arbitrary decision as to what stays around and what doesn’t.
With sites like 4chan, it isn’t so much that “free speech” just inevitably leads to this tragedy of the commons where everyone becomes or is taken over by racists and incels, it’s more that active decisions are made to turn these sites into shitholes by malignant actors, because sites like 4chan are the easiest targets, and have a kind of natural selection bias towards the type of people they want to recruit. They take advantage of this fact that “free speech” is obfuscating the actual moderation and enforcement of the site, and then use it to promote whatever ideologies they want, like a little internet meme terrarium, or maybe more of a virus cell culture. Then, this attracts other malignant actors, some of whom are even funded by different states, who work within the bounds of the site to advance it one step further, until you have a kind of horrible coalition of different ideas all stewing together.
Thus, most of the people who run the site nowadays are white supremacist dicks, funded by a hands-off japanese internet techbro libtertarian, and toy company “Good Smile”.
Which is all kind of tragic, because, like that one guy said, it’s responsible for a novel mathematical proof, the revival of a british indie rock band, the beginnings of anonymous, probably some other cool stuff I can’t remember. Lots of early classic internet memes, of course. It’s not all bad, really, it’s just the lowest hanging fruit of web forum. Sometimes that’s shitty, but then sometimes you get draw*** threads, where artists will go in and take low-pressure requests or concoct some sort of forum-game. Idealized, it’s sort of like pub bathroom graffiti, or something. Which isn’t really nefarious, is never serious, is sometimes charming, and very very occasionally is beautiful, useful, or novel.
There apparently was a novel mathematical proof dropped on 4chan. Forget the name, but it had something to do with an anime as well.
Like when they told us Scientology isnt an innocent budding religion…

How can women be real if our eyes aren’t!
Sometimes I wonder if he was trying to be deep somehow or if he just dropped a 10 sheet before going on twitter.
I think he heard some philosophy stuff out of context or over simplified, and was knee deep in inferences when he tweeted that. Something like:
-
The only thing we know with certainty that we exist.
-
So we don’t know if anything, including what we perceive, is real.
-
If our perception could be fake, we can’t even know that our sensory organs, like eyes, are real.
-
However, in my perceived life, I can look at myself in a mirror, and see my own body and my own eyes.
-
If my perception isn’t real, and my eyes aren’t real, how can I see them in that mirror?
-
If our eyes aren’t real, we wouldn’t be able to see them in a mirror for… some reason.
-
But my name is Jaden Smith, and I can’t understand that a fake reality could trick me into thinking I see my own eyes, so I think being able to see my eyes in a mirror means my eyes must be real, the mirror must be real, and the physical world exists with certainty. I disproved solipsism guys!
In all seriousness, I don’t think he believed his eyes weren’t real, he was asking a rhetorical question that he thought proved something deep. However, because he was a dumb teenager, he thought he could figure out something no one in history ever considered, and was thus making some grand contribution to society.

People always forget about the rules of the internet.
Rule 29: On the internet men are men, women are also men, and kids are undercover FBI agents.
Rule 30: Girls do not exist on the internet
Which is weird when you think about Rule 31: Tits or GTFO—the choice is yours.
And to that I say…
I’ve never known men to be resistant to sending a dick pic. You don’t even have to ask.
Edit: missing letter.
Ahem… well? 😏
moobs
This is brave
Hello I am 5 years old and vulnerable 🖐️😩🖐️ and I’m definitely NOT an agent
And if they do tits or gtfo!
I had a three point argument ready on why that line is not sexist but i forgor 💀
As I understand it, most girls on the internet are in fact dudes out to scam poor simple thirsty motherfuckers like us, so “tits or gtfo” is simply a type of verification process to protect ourselves 😇
It was always hard to verify images. Images with timestamps and weird specific instructions were a good way around that, but AI…
Tits with a skin tonned banana for scale in between them. Good luck AI
It was fun when I read a reddit story and at the end realize I was imagining the wrong gender. Then I would reread the story and it made a lot more sense, like a movie with a twist ending and flashbacks to previous scenes.
I’ve done that many times
Women are a liberal lie
true conservatives are extremely buff and only hang out with equally buff men at all times, including bed.
if women existed then sleeping with them would be a profoundly beta move.
Things that don’t exist are the stuff of conservative nightmares. This story checks out.
Dating is different for gay people? Since when? I’m gay and dating is a neverending slog of trying to find one decent functional adult in a sea of jackasses. How is this different?
Really? I have heard differently. I mean it’s true in the dating sense of searching for relationships. However if you are single I hear getting laid is waaaay easier. They just straight up ask and go. So I’m told. What the hell do I know?
It’s different in some ways. Most of my friends are gay and they have specific apps for specific things. It seems very straightforward to find people to hook up with, but that’s different than dating and looking for a relationship. Just like most people, many have various issues most likely stemming from society being lame about sexuality and such. They’ll find someone who seems entirely put together and then get slammed with issues relating to abandonment, insecurities about their masculinity, or crazy jealousy… So pretty much normal stuff.
That last part happened to my cousin. He dated a guy for a few years and everyone liked him a lot. After they got married, he let all the crazy out and became mentally and physically abusive. It apparently started pretty much immediately after marriage, but it took several years before anyone found out what was happening.
That’s pretty standard for any abusive relationship. The abuser usually waits until they feel like their partner can’t escape before they become awful.
Yep, to the point where it is actually hard to meet with someone who is not immediately expecting sex.
However if you are single I hear getting laid is waaaay easier
It depends on the country you live in, really. I understand where you’re coming from with this idea. In my home country, it appears that gay people are more open about their relationships than heterosexual people. It’s a conservative country on this topic, but once I started traveling the world, I’ve come to learn that it’s not the truth.
This comment is so open ended… how is it not the truth? It’s a comparison… so do gay people get laid less in other countries, or so straight people get laid more?
Apologies, English is not my native language. If you get to see my reply eventually, it means that straight people have the same chances as gay people in less conservative countries. So by your own words, straight folks, men and woman, get laid more.
Does one person in the relationship take forever to get ready or for 2 men do they just decide to go out and 3 minutes later leave the house?
Is it supposed to be the woman who takes a long time? Because I’m a guy and she’s always waiting for me. Not proud of this, but these stereotypes really don’t help.
I’m always waiting for my husband, too. Drives me nuts.
It has to depend, I know some men take a long time to get ready too
I lived with gay roommates (three gay men, two were a couple one was single), and the single one took AGES to get ready. I’m talking he’d shower at 730, we’d ask what he was doing and he’d say he had a date then leave the house at fucking 930.
He didn’t wear make up or anything I have legitimately no fucking clue what he could’ve been doing for so long. The couple on the other hand, one took longer than the other but honestly they were both pretty fast get ready-ers.
He was jacking off so that he can longer. Oldest trick in the bock.
If he took two hours to jack off, I shudder to think how long that made him last after 😱
Fuck that stereotype. I’m in a lesbian relationship and getting ready for either of us is putting on pants and possibly a jacket.
yes but we all know most lesbians are just two men in a trenchcoat
I’ve never seen a fact this hard in my entire life
I have 6 teenage boys. Three of them are women by this definition.
I was in a gay relationship once and at like 9:00 at night my boyfriend turns to me and goes: “Do you want wings?!?”
I’m a bit shocked by the random question but go: “Hell yeah!” We jumped into the car, went to the wings place which closes at 9:30 mind you, got there at around 9:16, including driving. Like 9:27-9:45-ish, we’re back and have a huge plate of wings and sides, just eating like animals
So uh, it varies, but the possibility is definitely there for two men to have a tactical romantic excursion in record time XD
Showing up 14 minutes to close with a large order is evil.
Sounds like they were gone before closing time
To me it doesn’t matter. Having worked in kitchens, we’re usually trying to get a head start on cleaning 15 minutes to close. I just think it’s rude to order that close to closing time.
I’m not american but aren’t wings usually precooked? Or is it not like that?
If you turn up to a chippy or fried chicken place just before closing time in the UK they sometimes give you extra food they would otherwise have to bin at the end of the night. I get why it’s annoying if you’d have to cook something fresh though.
Does one of them demand from the other to clean shave their entire body?
Ngl I can barely stand a hairy back. Pun intended
I mean, the irony is that there are even less women on lemmy than on reddit so like…

Nah. Lots of trans women and we care about their mental health. Just cope.
Why don’t you just say there are lots of women? Your comment is both transphobic and anti-feminist
cis women aren’t as hurt by misgendering. not transphobic, just aware. not anti-feminist, they’re advocating for gender neutral language.
holster your shit lol
cis women aren’t as hurt by misgendering
Nice generalization.
That’s implying trans women are less stable and easier to hurt because they are trans. That’s transphobic. Assuming cis women don’t get hurt by misgendering is sexist at best.
Homie I work in mental health and recognizing a trigger is not a force of systemic oppression, it’s a courtesy. Pretending everything is hunky dory and no one has differing needs or experiences is the “i dont see color” equivalent of gender. why would cis women even have that trigger??
try talking to some ciswomen and find out if misgendering hurts. spoiler - it does.
edit - fwiw, i keep hearing that lemmy is friendlier than reddit. this doesn’t align with my experience so far, it’s the same hateful shit as always.

No it doesn’t. I comes from the 1984 movie The Dungeonmaster.

I’ve noted that for some reason society in general seems clueless that women actually exist
Society was built and designed for/by men. Misogyny is hardcoded.
For Better or Worse
Men and women only exist when there is a need for a gender to be specified. Most of the time it’s just “people”.
I’m all for (trans-inclusive) gender abolition, but this is just erasing invisibility of women and queers (e.g. history of science)
Most of the time gender doesn’t matter though. It only matters when you need to qualify something. Not everyone thinks about a person’s gender First
Correct
Hm.
Pretty much
Oh yea, in like the 15 years online when people assume I’m a guy I don’t bother to correct anyone anymore. The default assumption is that everyone is a dude, no matter how pink your profile pic is.
The only exception is voice chat for obvious reasons but if you play online games with voice chat you only make the mistake of speaking a few times until you learn.
And many are even offended at that fact
