memes

In the US, women couldn’t get credit cards without a co-signer until 1974.

Historically, women had to have a man support them if they wanted options other than poverty. Your grandma probably didn’t have many other options - it might have worked well for her, but that wasn’t a choice made freely.

I think a lot of this is that relationships are a choice now. You have to be someone that someone wants to be with. This is a good thing, but it’s also a hard thing.

It sucks to be lonely and not get laid, but at the same time no one owes you sex or attention.

Yeah the dude in my old neighborhood who drove a Dodge RAM but rearranged the letters so it said "WAR" on the tailgate instead, and had a bumper sticker that said "KILL EVERYTHING" in that script that's like, "badass Gothic tribal" but in reality is just floral minus the actual flowers... Not all clown cars are smol

The other side of that coin.

there is a ~~male~~ loneliness epidemic

FTFY

Yeah, that’s not at all what the male loneliness thing is about at all. Was the point of your meme to make fun of how ignorant people are about this particular issue for men or were you trying to suggest the issue is invalid and the result of misogynistic assholes? Because if it’s the latter I think you just demonstrated your own ignorance and should probably spend some time trying to empathize more with men and educate yourself.

The comments on this one really highlights Lemmy's demographics. You can take the men out of reddit but you can't take the reddit out of men lmao

It's pretty much everybody but go off I guess

I doubt the first 3 statements are the same person as the fourth in most cases

I've seen this """""meme""""" four times in the last week.

We get it, it's low quality bait. Move along.

Death of third places and the tech takeover of social interaction is why men and women seem to hate each other now. We don't have much opportunity to meet romantically in person and the online space pits extremists against each other until all the regular people believe that's just the way it is in real life too.

Can't overlook that women being, for the most part, economically equal for the first time ever gives them more opportunity to choose as well.

The people speaking about male loneliness epidemics aren't the incels right? I think trying to understand the problems related to masculinity in society is exactly the opposite, trying to combat incels and the like. It has nothing to do with blaming women (at least in my experience)
