    I don’t want to sound like an incel, and I like eating vag/salad as much as the next guy, but imagine this image with the genders reversed

        There are plenty of memes which are sexist towards women. They just aren’t perceived as sexist but simply as “funny”.

      Unless you have proof, this claim of yours is simply a fantasy. In fact, you can find plenty of spaces online where memes like this one, but with the genders reversed, are shared and well liked and sometimes they even mean what they depict unironically.

      Actually, this very posts proofs you wrong, since yours and the comment “Bonk” (which just means “too horny”) are the top liked comments.

      It really does seem like you just want to soapbox an opinion.

      In my mind she has a cock. She also is built like an amazon, so she can just lift me up and flip me round for some standing 69. Nice

      I agree that it would look quite different with the genders reversed. However, gender equality is not like mathematical equality, where every situation needs to be reversible.

      Women have traditionally been less sex-positive and less dominant, which many consider indicators of a lack of true gender equality, so a progressive community will celebrate a reversal of that.

        But situations regarding the handling of power dynamics and standards of consent/coercion absolutely should be reversible.

          Well, consent is non-negotiable. I understood the comic as depicting a consenting couple.

          As for power dynamics, I’m certainly not on board with her having communicated, she had an emergency. That is just disrespectful. But that one looks bad on both genders.
          The existence of power dynamics in a relationship in general always looks bad, for both sides, in my opinion.
