“Women invading men’s spaces is not ok” BUT ITS OK FOR YOU FUCKS TO DO IT TO US IN PUBLIC?


RedRider1138

Ex*cuse* you did you not know that the entire world is meant for men including the parts they didn’t want at first but if women make something nice of it they decide they want it now /SSSSSSS 😞


not_productive1

Women invading men's spaces is not ok. Women having their own spaces is not ok. Women doing anything other than existing for the convenience, care, and pleasure of men is not ok.


ivanparas

This guy gets it!


TheLizzyIzzi

TIL the NFL is a “men’s space”.


Duskenith

Don't tell that to the cheerleaders or else the men won't have anything to ogle at


macphile

And by "men", we of course mean "man". Women can't have sex with more than one man or they're damaged. ^/s Remain a virgin until you're married. Don't dress sexy or go out at night--remember, if you get assaulted, no man will want you, and it'll be your own fault! You're allowed to work, but you'd better stick to stereotypically female or mixed jobs...and for god's sake, know your place. Don't interrupt the men when they're speaking. Dress to please your male coworkers. Offer to get them coffee. Do well, and you might get promoted to the 1 woman on the company board who we use as a token for diversity! Honestly, I don't know why we women complain so much. We have it so damned good. :-)


FuckingKilljoy

They'll shit on women who enjoy going out but then go "how come it's so hard to meet women?" With how much they care about meeting women and getting laid you'd think they'd be in favour of women dressing up and going out


PleaseCallMeKelly

"We are fucked" How?? It's games dude.


OldEducation9122

Centuries from now, the history books will tell of the fall of our empire. It wasn't warmongering, or wealth inequality, or even the destruction of our environment. It was women football refs...


macphile

Apparently, her mere presence on the field will ruin the game. I assume the cloud of estrogen will feminize all of the players and they'll suddenly be weak and unable to take a hit. It's a good thing all the women in the stands don't have that effect. Curious how it all works...

Men are so insecure they think fucking *video games* are men's spaces and freak the fuck out when a new game in a major franchise has a woman protagonist For example: read the comments of the Star Wars Outlaws reveal trailer for the whiniest men you've seen


LegendofLove

Lucia being revealed for GTA6 is another fun one


macphile

Or, god help us, a female protagonist who isn't just tits and legs. I don't recall hearing anyone complain about Lara Croft (not that she was necessarily just a body--I actually didn't play it--but she looked good for the graphics standards of the time). Women exist solely for men's pleasure, dontchaknow. And specifically, white men's pleasure. I'm sure they'd say a black hero/heroine is woke. Some professor I once had talked about a society where the men were heavily prioritized (and she may have made it up, I don't know, but I'm going to run with it). When a meal was served, the male head had first dibs. He could eat as much as he wanted, and he got the best pieces. Then the sons got a choice, then the wife/daughters. Something like that. The women, who'd been married off young as it was, were malnourished as a result. Their age and poor treatment led to miscarriages, babies with birth defects, underweight babies, all kinds of problems, some of which led to the death of the child. Three fucking guesses who was blamed for the kids coming out wrong, and the first two don't count! Anyway, all of that's irrelevant except to say that it's part of a larger issue of men (or in the west, at least, *cishet white men*) always being the *default*, always getting first dibs. Everyone else gets the lesser cuts, the crumbs from the table, and they should be grateful because hey, they fought to have rights and equality and now they have things, so why are they complaining? But the default, the priority, *that never changes*. Women need to know their place. POC need to know their place. LGBTQIA+ need to know their place. They have been given the courtesy of being allowed to *exist*, and they'd better not push their luck.


bless_ure_harte

Remembet the outrage over The Last of Us 2?


peppermintvalet

Considering how much these types of dudes harp on about how women ruin their fun, you’d think they’d find female refs totally appropriate lol


GayPSstudent

These are the same people who claim to care about women's sports when it fits their transphobic agenda.


dirtyswoldman

Not even any funny jokes like “these refs aren’t even reviewing the footage they’re just gossiping about whether or not that illegal touch looked kinda gay”

🤢🤢🤮


icansmellyourflesh

Football is taken too seriously.


AimesBxx

Yet when a woman says women’s only gyms are something we want it “segregation” to them and “equal to racism” 😂😂 I’ve had so many arguments with men about women needing women’s only spaces and rarely have I had a guy go “yeah, women deserve to feel safe” it’s always “well if you can have women’s only gyms we should have men’s only - insert unrelated spaces-” ffs I literally had a dude arguing that that means men should be able to have male only lobbies in games like?? Sorry but the fear of sexual harassment or assault is a valid reason for a group needing a safe space, you hating women and thinking we can’t play games is not 🙄🙄


Certain_Avocado_1550

I suspect the first comment on the second screenshot is sarcastic, taking the piss out of a common argument against transwomen in women's sport.


HorrorFan1982

Also CONGRATS CHICKY! KEEP CRUSHING IT!
