Indeed. It strikes me as pointlessly gendered. All people, safety is more important than feelings.

The whole thing was meant to be rage bait.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 23 points 6 months ago

or it's purposefully gendered in response to the man vs bear thing

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca -1 points 6 months ago

Which is also rage bait

Yeah this meme as well as the original bear one were meant to be divisive and make people angry. That's the point of these kinds of memes, they're not really meant to be intelligent, they're meant to stir up drama and make people fight.

~~you know what else is pointlessly gendered? the patriarchy~~

feminist messaging has to be gendered because the patriarchy is a gender issue.

that said, feminism is for everybody. liberating women from oppressive structures by nature does the same for men.

If it’s not gendered and is for everybody, that isn’t that just the original statement? That safety is for everybody? That seems rather circular.

But I think I get what you’re saying. We focus on lifting up women, and everyone benefits.

yeah i see how my comment was a little confusing let me try to edit :p thanks for the good faith question tho

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 2 points 6 months ago

Hey no worries. More people should act in good faith in my opinion. We don’t even have to agree with everyone but we should have mutual respect for each other and want a better world.

If this weren't gendered I'm not sure I would connect that this was posted as result of people's reaction to the bears vs men thing.
