    At no point did I say anything about ‘men’. I said Lemmy’s 77% male userbase is prejudiced towards women.

    That is neither hateful or bigoted. It’s a fact that misogynist like you are blind to.

    ‘Logic’ my ass. Nothing about what you say is rational. You’re simply triggered for being called out on your poor behavior.

    You all ever tried saying ‘excuse me’?

    Adding this to the long list of things women aren’t allowed to enjoy while hurting absolutely no one (uggs, Starbucks, rose, candles, just anything branded feminine)

    Edit: for the tone deaf people in the back who say this isn’t about women, look again. The whole package of ‘OMG’, exclamation marks, ‘annoying kids’, two moms, some annoying trait, is all dog-whistle for people who like to trivialize things women do. This isn’t a unique phenomenon in memes. See how men elevate, and women ruin the foods they love.

    Before you comment, think about the relevance of your own experiences. Lemmy’s userbase is 77% men and sometimes it shows.





  • Your wife went through hell and back, there’s no doubt about that. But to watch a loved one suffer is pain in its own right. It may be small compared to what she went through, but that doesn’t make it unimportant. In the same way that the joy of having a child doesn’t diminish the pain, the magnitude of your wife’s suffering doesn’t diminish yours either. Take care.


  • I’m so sorry for what your wife went through, and what you had to watch. That is absolutely horrifying.

    I completely agree with what you’ve said, and I wish more people can come to understand that live births are not the rainbows and sparkles that we’ve been conditioned into believing, but a life or death, permanently disfiguring, or traumatizing process it is.

    For anyone disagree with you: Can there be beauty, humor, and joy in this? There absolutely can. None of this is about sucking away the joy of childbirth, it’s about addressing the nonchalant attitudes and assumptions that many non-birthing people have about it. There is a time and place for everything, and a joke at the expense of someone giving birth that they didn’t find funny being posted on social media isn’t a tasteful one.

    Does this make that guy the most horrible person? No. This isn’t about that one guy, it’s about addressing a cultural attitude towards childbirth is that is harmful to women, many of which get the wrong ideas about childbirth. It’s about the trivialization of mental health of new mothers, something that I’m sure lots of men can empathize with.

    Yeah, for all the high praise about Lemmy and all the shit posts about Reddit, this community lacks self awareness when it comes to making women feel like people, let alone feel welcome here. Outside of 196 and a few small instances, this place is getting infested with edgy 14 year old r/dankmemes boys.

    Inb4 someone invalidates this, think about the relevance of your own experiences before commenting.
