Lemmy has a sexism problem, frequently. It needs to get called out more.

There’s ways to be funny without punching down.
Lemmy does have a sexism problem. It’s pervasive.
Would it be funny making a joke about some random guy being fat and ugly?
This literally happens all the time and no one complains about it because “man bad”
Okay in insight, I didn’t pick a good example. Let me try again
You wouldn’t (or at least shouldn’t) make fun of a gym-bro starting to take anabolic steroids to look more buff.
That person is suffering from body dysmorphia. Modern beauty standards can push people to extreme or sometimes dangerous treatment. See how the situation is similar to a woman feeling she needs to do facial surgery and take weight-losing drugs, to fit into an impossible beauty standard?
Neither of those situations are good nor should be made fun of. Agree?
But then we had several posts making fun of women in that situation, and someone rightfully called out the blatant sexism.

Are you making a meta joke that I’m just too dumb to understand? Where exactly is the misogyny here? Half of the world is women, some of them will do things that are questionable or just plain silly/funny, and jokes will be made. 🤔
You’re not allowed to do that. Women are a protected class that cannot be made fun of. Men on the other hand…

Like this one.
No misogyny to see here, right?
This is gonna be another thread full of a bunch of fragile masculinity with men who feel the need to share their opinion about women without anyone asking them again
Why do you think people need to be asked to express an opinion on a platform like this?
Why do y’all act so shocked when you’re called out for your sexism then?
How does this answer my question?
No one needs permission to post their opinions here, I agree.
I don’t understand why y’all are so shocked when others have differing opinions from your incel views then. We’re allowed to disagree with you as well.
I would appreciate if you wouldn’t insult me based on a flimsy assumption.
I’m simply responding to your comment defending those opinions.
You jumped in to defend men’s unwanted opinions on women unprompted. People are allowed to react to it.
I did none of those things. You simply assumed, put me in a group and then you insulted me.
Op you have mistaken commentary on social pressure to look beautiful and follow specific fashion trends as some kind of misogyny…
It’s not, these are very real things women feel pressured into doing and it should be called out.
Only attractive women though.
Everyone is fine with ugly women getting plastic surgery apparently.
“Haha look at how UGLY this woman is!”
“Why do women change their appearance to be more attractive?!”

It’s clearly poking fun at this woman’s appearance by inferring she used a sharpie as mascara.

That’s in the comment section, that’s not the main post.
You’re also completely side-stepping that the next meme is a direct commentary on women’s appearances following this meme making fun of a woman’s appearance.
You’re pretty defensive about making fun of women.

I’m talking about your other comments in this thread.
You’re very protective over being able to make fun of women. It’s interesting you chose this post to defend that.
What?
I feel like it’s because women don’t yet have the option to get cybernetic implants. They can’t hack the servers of the Palantir corp with a thought or jump the distance of a football field so they have to make do with lip collagen or whatever. Sad really.
Hey, gender affirming shoplifting is already a thing lol.
The top would be better if it read, “people”.
Anybody got the top meme in it’s original form?
