Comment on Why conservative men repeatedly crash Grindr
bellly@sopuli.xyz 6 hours agoFracture has already made some very good points.
But yes, it can be sexist. If the woman’s insults specifically target his worth as a man.
The meme is attacking their appearance, and only their appearance, because they are women. I dont really believe in this “looks reflect the soul” stuff. Some people are the absolute sweetest, yet dont meet societal beauty standards. Some people are shit, yet are considered attractive.
I dont know if you’ve read some comments in this thread, but there’s multiple calling them men. Since they aren’t beautiful, they have their womanhood stripped away from them.
They aren’t beautiful, so they aren’t women. Because to be a woman is to be beautiful.
I dont know how much more obvious beauty being tied to a woman’s worth as a woman can get.

But they’re ugly because of specific choices they made to wear what ends up looking like a fascist clown costume. They chose this look. They’re not being made fun of for things outside their control.
The vitriol and anger that led to those aesthetic choices also led to unhappy marriages. That’s the joke as I saw it.

Most people in this comment section are mocking their physical attributes, not their clothes or hair or anything they might have control over.
This meme is directly implying that their husbands would rather sleep with other men, rather than with their wives, because they find them so unattractive.
If thats not your interpretation, then thats not your interpretation, but a lot of other people here read it differently.
I do agree that they make awful fashion choices though

That’s fair I haven’t been reading the whole comment thread. There’s definitely plenty of meat on the meme bone for jokes about the ugliness of the maga aesthetic without it degrading into misogyny, but it’s too bad people are acting that way.
