Well in that case it went sailing over my head. I hope you're right! I'm a trans ally (my child is nonbinary) albeit nowhere near up to speed on a lot of stuff particularly memes.
I've lately been helping an older female friend through a shitty breakup where the fact the guy purely objectifies women in a cartoonish porno and pedo sense has been one of many disturbing revelations about what a creepy bastard he has turned out to be.
I guess I saw "disembodied vaguely sexualised teenage girl legs' and just felt grossed out because there are still a bunch of creepy old sexual predators out there and this meme gave me the same ick feeling I've been dealing with, knowing for sure that my teenagers are definitely not too young for a particular 65 year old in our town.
Basically I'm sick and tired of sexually predatory men and I will take them down whenever we encounter each other!
Anyway apologies for not getting the meme... which remains a meme I don't like, but obviously there's more to it than I realised.
It didn't occur to me that the people in the graphic might be women. π
Respecting people is way more important than "getting" a meme, so your head's in the right place, regardless.
