    Lemmy: MISOGYNY!

    Meanwhile, me, a dumdum: Damn the author has experienced critically low self-esteem…or the joke is as fun as a rock in the field.

    Like, either it’s self-depreciating/edgy humor or it’s not humor at all lol.

      I immediately understood it to be a description of severe depression. If a neurotypical person suddenly experiences a low from a period similar to a depressed person’s average day, why is it suddenly misogyny?

        Because the depressed person is a man, there are many people who still treat mental illness and emotional trauma as character flaws, but only when men have them, otherwise it’s all about listening and believing. Tl;dr: sexism against men is far more rampant and casually accepted than people think
