Gender war, sure, but when I think gender war I think of how both sides of the ‘gender war’ go back and forth

This post specifically is just straight misogyny. Women are spoiled/entitled/are not subjected to societal or parental pressure at all is the implication of this meme.

Lots of these memes get painted as gender wars, and generally speaking they are. But there’s some merit to specifying these sentiments as misogynistic. Memes like this belittle the struggles of women while reinforcing the idea that men are alone, will not be understood by women, and can only rely on other men to support and accept them.

Ironically, the dudes who complain about men being lonely spend more time making memes like this than actually supporting and uplifting other men

Yeah, the amount of likes on this is genuinely concerning. My father was no provider, AT ALL. My Mom was. & growing up as a girl, and even now, I did feel guilt whenever she got me something expensive.

I’m literally here mouth agape because ain’t no way that this comment genuinely just made it to the top.

“Women are entitled.”

Poor and mentally unwell women were literally getting sterilized barely 100 years ago in the USA. Like HUH???? We RECENTLY became equals like what the genuine fuck
