[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children) Needlessly gendered, casual sexism. It's not "people" who are implied to be dumb and impulsive, just men. Cool, very haha. EDIT. man, sure are a lot of people who wanna defend sexism. I think the real lesson here is that I should just block people earlier. permalink fedilink source hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 23 points 1 week ago (36 children) Pretty sure people like their orange cats? Also if we're going by your interpretation of what the poster is meaning it's not really needlessly gendered. Most people on the site would be young men, and young men statistically make more dumb and impulsive decisions than young women, it's why we pay more for insurance. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 38 child comments replies: [–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children) The only issue I have is her saying "too many", as if it's a bad thing or something permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] velma@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 child) I think that says more about how we view men as a group than anything.

That's exactly what most people mean by "orange cat": Stupid, impulsive, "sharing one brain cell". Some (very insincere) people rushing in the comments to pretend "nono, that's not what it means". Because if it means, what everyone else thinks it to mean, then they'd have admit that they're a little sexist. Or okay at least with sexist humor targeted at men. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dogdeanafternoon@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago (1 child) I’ve only seen one insecure person in this thread. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 1 point 1 week ago* insincere not "insecure", get your eyes checked.

I was wondering what YOU specifically thought. Which is that orange cats are chaotic and stupid. I kinda mentioned this in my other comment further down the chain. But the logic is orange cat = bad, men = cat, therefore men = bad. Yes? But that's YOUR personal interpretation.

The statement isn't exclusive to men, or even all men. This is far from sexism, it's humorously punching up. If you're going to ignore the post and make up your own joke anyway, why don't you tell us what it is? permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (4 replies)
