    Woman does something.

    Someone thinks it’s not good.

    “WOW MISOGYNY”

    Plot twist: these tats would also be ugly AF on a guy. Now what, mfer.

      They didn’t just say tattoos are ugly. They went out of his way to focus on how they detract from a woman’s beauty. Not men’s beauty. The subtle “women should look beautiful for me” is what’s not good here.

      Their take could have been worse. They acknowledged that it’s harmless and not their body. That’s good.

        Offering benefit of the doubt, one might assume he referred to women’s beauty in particular because this meme is about a woman, or perhaps he isn’t gay/bi, and doesn’t think about men’s beauty. Or both. Or maybe something else. Misogyny is one of the possibilities, sure, but only one of the possibilities. I wouldn’t have phrased it that way, but I don’t think there’s enough there to take the route of condemnation, personally.
