      In the same way calling out perceived misandry is considered misogyny, apparently.

          That the original OP clearly had a specific person in mind when making the meme.

            laurenceofSuburbia reposts memes from Reddit. They’ve said so in recent comments as well. This isn’t a personal post.

            Does telling a specific woman to use their big girl words turn the phrase into something kind or positive?

              It was personal for the person who originally posted it. Would it have been ok for Laurence to post the same meme if it said “big boy pants”?

              Also, I’ve seen the “venting” posts that get posted in womensstuff and elsewhere on Lemmy saying exactly the same sort of thing about men, both specific and in general.

              Are they kind or positive? They get hand-waved as “just venting” and “healthy outlets”. So, are venting posts ok or are venting posts not ok?

                You are sealioning and using whataboutism now.
