I remember an old 4chan joke from, I think, over a decade ago. It's an old memory so I hope I don't butcher it:
A 4chan user found a genie. He was tired of getting no action, so he told the genie his 1st wish was the ability to turn on sight that would let him see everyone willing to sleep with him. "Your wish is granted", replied the genie. "You can now close your eyes."
In the modern version I'd make it one of these misogynist assholes.
A decade ago is 2014 so you(probably) mean two decades ago
It's possible, I left 4chan a long time ago. I won't pretend it was ever a great place, but at least there were moments of entertaining randomness. Damn I'm old.
/b/ was never good.
except for MLP, that was peak
Lol seeing people have aneurysms over grown men liking a cartoon was fun
"What's a woman?"
What's a man?
A miserable pile of secrets.
I think the best response that's always worked for me is:
"Who cares!" Person riled up about this inclined to agree with me because they think I'm on the two genders "side of the debate". "Just try your best to call people what they want to be called and move on. If someone's name is x, try call them x, if they say 'I am a y', try calling them a y. If you get it wrong accidentally, oh well, just say sorry and try again. Why are we even still talking about this? It's such a non-issue"
Highly effective on those who aren't super conservative and just been swept up in the (in my opinion) astroturfed outrage.
That's why I like names, that's why we have em. When I first meet you, tell me your name and that's what I'll call you. The rest we can learn as we go
What is love?
Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
No more
There's a Lemmy Sings community out there but I'm not sure how to link it :(
A miserable pile of secrets and lies. But enough talk, have at you!
Gezundheit!
Es ist entweder "Gesundheit" auf Deutsch, of "gezondheit" in het Nederlands.

Idk who is that, and probably is a moron.
But it is a genuinely good question: "what's a woman?" "what's a man?" "what's gender?"
Not an easy question, with not universally accepted answer.
Outside of a philosophy discussion, it's not a genuinely good question because it is irrelevant to our daily lives. In any way that matters to society, a woman is a person who says they are a woman. It's that complicated.
So long as society feels it necessary to provide protections for women, the distinction has real consequences. Drawing a line anywhere is a tradeoff between inclusivity and effectiveness.
Taking the party line "high ground" stance of either conclusive self-determination or dodging the question entirely is why this question is so effective.
I'm sorry, is "conclusive self-determination" the wrong answer? Why?
And your solution is what?
Honestly? I think that equal treatment should be afforded regardless of gender. I also know that opinion is wildly unpopular, and so long as society expects unequal treatment there has to be hard conversations and hard decisions made to support those structures. You can't have it both ways, and no amount of party-line fingers in your ears "wouldn't you like to know"ing makes that go away.
This would be nice if we lived in a vacuum an didn't have thousands of years of patriarchy built up...
Is the latter dude calling the former a creeper? Or complaining about agency from rufinol?
he has the patriot emojis but also a pirate one so I assume he's a leftie that somehow still enjoys living in America
he's american and illegally downloads foreign movies not available to him
