This argument is stupid either way of course... But I find the picture on the right way more attractive.
Agreed in a 100 % non-objectifying way (as you are as well). Velma can go kick rocks.
"Don't worry, ladies! This incel finds you ugly, but I find you attractive!"
People like you do more harm than good for the cause you're fighting for. You are a living caricature of what actual incels use to justify their rotten worldview.
If one person on the internet being a feminist killjoy is enough for you to disavow feminism, you were never supportive of it to begin with.
I'm just expressing my opinion, but okay, sure.
You're expressing your opinion just like Jeremy is in the post.
Not really, since the entire point is that “Jeremy” calls it SA
For a complete stranger, you seem to think you've got me all figured out. While we're throwing accusations around, you come across as really defensive and needlessly confrontational.
I'm responding to you doing the exact same thing as the man in the post.
Am I though?
Velma will post “Nobody cares what makes your dick hard.” and “I’m lying in bed thinking about women” in the same thread. You’re not the problem right now.
Edit: Sorry, it was “Can confirm, I am also thinking about the waitress with big tits while laying in bed.”

Yeah, the first comment I'm responding to someone comparing women's tits to cow's milk glands. Literally dehumanizing women with large breasts.
The second comment is my own personal thoughts on appreciating that fictional woman in the meme. It's not comparing her to anything or saying that she would be more attractive if she did XYZ or that I like her better a certain way.
You can't comprehend the difference between the two?
When someone else shares their thoughts on a woman, they're fucked up and evil. When I do it, I'm just expressing my opinion.
Sharing that you prefer the woman in the image without makeup is different than saying you find her attractive.
Do you understand the difference?
One makes femcels mad and the other also makes them mad but in a different way
Women aren't allowed to make jokes now?
Stripping context from statements is real useful in twisting them to whatever you want them to mean.
You're so close.
The context for your comments are right here.
You post so much. Please don’t make me go dig up the context.
Yeah I posted "I'm also lying in bed thinking about that woman" on a meme. That statement is only talking about my internal thoughts and doesn't saying anything about the woman or what I think she should look like or change to appease what I want.
Go ahead. Go digging.

You are. Jeremy is objectifying this woman and so are you. It's not about what is more attractive to men.
Part of the premise of the original post is about what is more attractive to men, and expressing a preference against makeup is a logically valid way to contradict its argument (while also being a faux pas that context does not defend against). The whole thing is obvious bait and you're both falling for it.
Haven't picked up that I've got a habit of calling out these kinds of faux pas? I'm aware of what I'm doing. I don't have much patience for men thinking they're better than others for making the same kind of objectifying statements about women.
This isn't about what men want or what makes their dicks hard.
from the outside looking in, it very much seems like you think YOURE the one better than others. Youre taking the velma LARP way too seriously at this point, and youre giving 'netflix wokescold velma' and not 'cool 60s velma', so its not even a fun larp youre doing either
I guess a few too many times finding posts where y’all are pushing that 14 year olds can consent to sex and that men should be allowed to murder their wives if they cheat and joking about raping women has turned me real sour on these kinds of comments.
I’m not LARPing. I’m astonished at how some of you act. Or worse, how some of you see these comments and don’t say anything at all.
Well IMO that means this Twitter asshole's attempt at trolling is a success, which is a shame
Eh trolling the trolls can be fun.
What I mean by trolling here is, deliberately inciting other people to have the desired argument amongst themselves. OOP isn't affected or aware of anything we say, it's completely one-sided.
I understand what you mean and appreciate it. You’re right, it’s not particularly productive to get into it in comment sections.
Aside from that, the overwhelming amount of casual sexism that’s openly tolerated and upvoted on Lemmy is astonishing sometimes.
These types of posts see a lot of men chiming in to say what they find attractive, what women should do to be attractive to them. It’s annoying. I’m aware that I annoy those men by saying something, but oh well.
Have you ever considered that maybe you're just not as smart as you seem to think you are? Or that people may not always agree with you, and that's okay?
Neither observation has anything to do with your gender by the way, though I have a sneaking suspicion you won't see it that way.
I’ve never claimed to be smart, just brash and strongly opinionated.
I’m ok with people not agreeing with me. That doesn’t mean I have to be quiet in the face of sexism.
There's being strongly opinionated, and then there's acting like a stubborn, arrogant ass. The fact that just about everyone in this thread disagrees with you does not exactly reflect positively on your argument. And yet you continue to double down.
For the record, I do somewhat understand the point you're trying to make. Maybe this was not the post for me to speak on what I consider to be attractive, but I really didn't give it that much thought. So fair play for calling me out on that to an extent.
But I truly believe intention matters. If a man simply stating what he finds attractive about a woman is enough for you to think he's sexist, I guess you're entitled to your opinion. That you would equate me to someone who compares women wearing makeup to sexual assault is completely unhinged. I genuinely feel sorry for you if that's how you go through life.
There were a lot of people who disagreed with me about 14 year olds being unable to consent to sex with adults, too. That doesn't make me wrong.
Unasked for commentary on how a woman looks is unnecessary and presumptuous. Who gives a fuck what any individual thinks about how THIS woman should present herself? The only thing that matters is what SHE wants to look like.
Misogyny and sexism is on the rise again and this kind of casual sexism goes hand in hand with it.
Whatever, I can tell I'm at a dead end with trying to get through to you. This is a Lemmy post, not your first year gender studies class... it's really not that deep. Maybe get over yourself and touch some grass.
Sexism isn’t that deep coming from someone comfortable enough to publicly judge women’s appearances doesn’t ring true, sorry not sorry.
Oh, for sure, doing your hair and makeup has absolutely nothing to do with trying to make yourself more attractive to men when you are a straight woman. Very valuable insight, thanks
