    This is clearly a screenshot of a post about girls from another platform. It’s not been manipulated to be about one gender or another, it just is what it is. I’d love to comment about the content itself. Instead I have to ask:

    What groups would straight white cis men not what-about-me on? Ethnic minorities? Physical disabilities? LGBTQIA+? Why when it’s women you think your privilege is legit? Do you ever think this post is not applicable to you? Are there any posts you would be ok to just feel free to stfu and scroll on?

    Honest questions because I am baffled why this always is occurring

    The men/enbies in the comments should make their own post instead of freeloading on women all the time

      cause traditionally/stereotypically feminine things are seen as stupid, useless, and cringe while masculine ones are seen as serious, deep, and respectable.

      trans people also show that being a man is seen as an “upgrade” while being a woman a “downgrade” (trans men don’t get a fraction of the hate trans women do). same thing with tomboys-femboys.

      plus, a man and woman could do the exact same thing (being assertive for example) & the perception will be different (woman - bitch, man - boss).

        If you think boys aren’t ridiculed (for literally anything) you’ve never been to school.

        So, boys, might as well do what you want.

          1. the experiences of boys and girls in society aren’t comparable.

          2. this post is about girls, going “but what about the boys?” on it is just misogyny.
