I think it falls under the broad category of "girl math"

Please explain to me how this isn't misogyny.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_math it's just a meme, and not even one of the problematic ones.

I mean, alright, but it still seems like misogyny to me. Just like "girl dinner", except worse because of the pervasive (and extremely incorrect) stereotype that women are bad at math.

I get that. I used to feel like that about a bunch of stuff, now I try to tap out

I insist you return and not only engage, but aggressively do so. Having a struggle session about girl math with literally other communists is a definite and real step towards solving the problems men and women face in a society which not only encourages, but rewards psychopathy, sociopathy, and antisocial behaviors at its very fundamental structure.

Now, have at me! Ravish me!

That article goes on to explain how it is misogyny right there.

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, I just grabbed the first thing that explained the meme. Who would have figured wikipedia was saying silly things shrug-outta-hecks

It's actually misandrist because girl math is actual math. Originally it had to do with how a person earmarked money spent and not spending it and deciding to spend it on something else and considering that to cost zero. But that works out economically as that money was already spent and it is, in fact, how economists consider spending. So as it turns out, "girl math" is just conventional economics and "guy math" is wrong as guys are effectively emotionally "spending" the money twice.
