thought this was a (very late) april fools joke 💀 is this real? is there some recent / relevant reason for it?

SHOW US YOUR SHITTY ART!!!

as a man who is thirsty for men in sundresses

you’re real for that

reminder that this situation has been engineered by decades of a billionaire powered machine defunding education and capturing a significant portion of the country in a propaganda machine

like, yea, americans are dumb and shitty, but we’ve largely been made to be this way. it’s not inherent and it’s not unfixable (altho it’s not like it’s solvable overnight, ofc, it took a long time to get here and it’ll take a long time to get out)

i hate this comment so much

a) it’s so much more work to refute it than you going “NUH UHHH”

b) you can literally see it in this thread

c) wtf I LOVE BEING CALLED SILLY ACTUALLY??

anyways i see it mentioned a lot by lurking in the women’s stuff comm. and tbh i see enough of it myself just in my nornal feed to agree

this is true but i don’t think there are many brands of… this particular device, which are pure silicone. they’re out there, but they’re the minority

it’s snark, but it’s genuine, too. some people really haven’t heard it. but sure, i could have said it better, that’s fair

the issue is that there are women who have these traits independent of if they happen to belong this “costume”. it’s a look, but it falls within normal human variance. in essence, you’ve said any women who even vaguely has traits like this is a ghoul. besides, people should be allowed to choose how they look

it’s also using the bludgeoning of the oppressor on people you happen to have moral standing over. this meme is still ultimately about their fuckability. sure, you may find them (physically) unfuckable because you believe their appearance is a reflection of their morals. but it’s still not OK to reduce women to their fuckability. it’s the same shit people do when they misgender shitty trans people. it reduces baseline respect to privilege that can be revoked. that’s not baseline respect then lol

(aside, i don’t think the “happen to have marriages of convenience” necessarily follows from the outfit. it might, i guess, i haven’t really looked into the marriage success rates of this group of people. but it’s not like average success rates of marriage are anything to write home about, either)

finally, i would hope that the people in this thread who are being SUPER misogynist about it are like… putting you off. i feel like it’s not great if people are supporting misogyny in your not-misogynistic meme!

this could have been captioned “pedophile wives cabal” or something and i think that would have been fine. re: the above “using the bludgeoning of the oppressor”, it’s always worth questioning yourself about whether you’re dunking on them because they’re shitty people or because they’re women who happen to be shitty people

this post is why people say there’s a misogyny problem here

yea if it’s implying that men are only worth being with because of their looks, it’s sexist, yea. it’s not as sexist because there’s not a societally ingrained idea that a man’s core worth is in his looks. so it’s not like it’s equivalent. but it’s almost like there are different prejudices to different genders

or have you not heard enough people talk about women like they’re worthless because of a perceived lack of attractiveness
