What it seems like the "joke" is at:

If you are assertive but a man, wokes will call you aggressive. If you are assertive but a woman, wokes will applaud you.

Or so I understand the underlying logic, can be wrong ofc.

I'm pretty sure the joke is the exact opposite, that the same behavior that's treated as assertive if a man does it is treated as aggressive coming from a woman.

That does sound like a right-winger 🤔 Best guess I've seen so far. Thanks.

It's actually a comic strip by Judy Horacek from 1999 about how assertiveness in women is viewed as aggressive and discouraged, while it is encouraged in men
