The guy being more upvoted is the most Reddit thing
Homie, that “guy” is also a woman
I mean, duh. Everyone on the internet is just women pretending to be men.
There are no men on the internet
“… 🤔 … Are there any women here today?”

Nice Username!
On dog, everyone internet. No one know human
Arf arf, arf arf arf arf. Arf arf homie.
You mean women are people who knows how to navigate to a website, sign up for accounts, and express our own points of view on different topics? How could this be possible?
our own points of view
Excellent gif from and excellent animated movie.
… OK, first time I’ve ever got this reaction for something I thought that was pretty obvious.
It is, I didn’t mean any harm, I was just playing into a joke.
It’s all good!

Making an account named Margot Robbie? Classic Kim Wexler! Gotcha!

Every woman I know is making scrapbooks, knitting her own hats and some more for others, taking care of some kids
Wow… there’s a lot to unpack here… have you ever met a woman before?
I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram, posting their best moments online. Ofc similar for some good-looking men as well. That’s why I assume most people here are either men or lgbtq+.
So anyone on a website other than instagram is an ugly man or a lesbian…
…man the hot takes just keep coming don’t they?
I’m almost guaranteeing that the person you are replying to is making a joke, because of how ludicrous it sounds. “I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram” implies that the commenter has literally never met a woman in their entire life and only knows about them via a website that they’ve never even been to themselves, as the information about them being on instagram is itself second hand. Like, it literally makes women sound like cryptids.
But like, how is a human being possible without penis and balls? Where does the pee come from? Where do they store it?
I don’t know man, seems a bit too surreal to me.
Go look at their reply (or post history) then tell me that.
Huh, I never said ugly. Do not put words in my mouth.
good-looking men as well
What’s the opposite of good-looking? I swear context is impossible for most people on the internet.
Average-looking men, obviously.

Oh cool she definitely represents the entire female population of the world. Maybe you should go try and meet a second or even third woman (not including your mother), it might give you a broader perspective.

You really are confused, I never asked for a list, and didn’t take this personally in any way.
I just think you have some weird misogynistic views of what a woman is, and what their interests are.
Is your sister even real bro?
my sister frequently sends me reddit memes and tried for years to get me to play league of legends
This comment is so sad lmao. Let me introduce you to this awesome idea, and I ask that you please read it in the SpongeBob voice for “imagination”: anecdotes aren’t evidence
bro’s only example of women who don’t use reddit is a woman he assumes doesn’t use reddit
Your sister sounds kinda boring ngl
I choose to believe your post is finely crafted satire.
Finely?
I don’t understand why men are even on here. Every man I know is so busy chopping down trees, wrestling bears and building log cabins. How does anyone on here even find the time!?
Are you all even real!?!?
Whoah. I spend time drinking alcohol straight from the bottle, too.
Looks at red plaid shirt, Looks at wood cutters axe, Touches beard.

Hold my bear, I’m typing a reply.
I’m a woman. My most frequently practiced hobbies are watching my fiancé cook, playing with my cat, dicking around on the internet, and playing word games. Because hobbies are to relax and I’m working and getting a Masters. When I had more time, I also danced a bunch and played Pokémon go.
The things the women in your life are doing, are providing services for the people around them, through food, knitted goods, and photo albums. Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one.
Six years ago, my terrible ex would have said that I loved reading organizational blogs and baking, but that’s because he was a slob whose family had weekly parties that I was expected to bake for. Maybe all the women in your life are stepford bots, but maybe you should try learning to knit or cook with some of them, and see if they branch out or just need some help.
Edit: grammar
TL:DR for the folks at home:
“The things the women in your life are doing, is providing service for the people around them….”
“Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one. [note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]
No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.
I completely overlooked the mistake until now, it should be: “are providing services for the people around them…”
I got what you mean, I was just agreeing with you, I don’t correct anyone until at least 2 hours after getting out of bed anyway.
I learnt cross stitch off me mum as a lad.
When I have time to kill I dick around online and usually ignore anything else I could do. Every woman I know is making scrapbooks, knitting her own hats and some more for others, taking care of some kids, building and maintaining relationships with people in the real world, cooking amazing food just because they want it, getting involved in the community, working some extra side jobs, and generally doing stuff to make their world and the world around them better.
Are there any women you know who aren’t housewives?
If kids means dogs this is my mom. She’s retired and I’m her roommate. It’s kinda nice.
There is just a general assumption that they’re smart enough not to waste their time with it and they have better things to do, like actual hobbies and friends/family to see.
Did you actually ask other people what they think, or are you projecting? Because this doesn’t represent me at all

Every woman I know is playing Baldur’s Gate 3
Am woman, currently at work, but will continue playing BG3 when I get back home. So this checks out.
Not me. I’m catching up on all of the assassin’s creed before getting the new one
hastily closes steam window showing over 250 hours of BG3 played so far
My husband is mad because I’m further in the story than him, lol
My wife and I are waiting
until marriageuntil we have some free time this holiday to play it co-op. We’ve had similar problems in the past with games like Warcraft 3, but the amazing coop system in the Borderlands franchise has allowed us to log hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing together - hoping that BG3 works similarly well enough.The co-op is pretty good, though there are a few tiny frustrations - I can’t automatically use an npc party member’s skills in conversations (like guidance or bardic inspiration) if they’re under my husband’s control instead of mine, for instance. Our problem is that we both want to finish the storyline for ourselves before making storyline decisions in our co-op campaign and I have an entire day off that he doesn’t thanks to working 4 10s instead of 5 8s. So I have to wait for him to push ahead in his campaign before we can play ours, but I can just play mine at my leisure, lol.
Generally held by who? Because it’s not the general public.
Seems like it’s just you at the moment.deleted by creator
The fact you think motivation, caring for you family, and having social media are mutually exclusive says a lot about you. If you think women on Reddit, lemmy, whatever social media are unmotivated because they don’t knit hats and care for children or whatever you define as womanhood you might need to reflect on what you think womanhood is outside of your personal experiences with the women in your social bubble.
Women might use Reddit or lemmy or a number of social media sites to find a social group to connect with that they don’t have in their immediate area, just like men do. They are normal people who don’t have to adhere to whatever gender ideologies society wants to ascribe to them. Also spending time on sites like this can just be an hour in the morning or evening not an entire life so you might never see them do it.
Joke’s on him, I’m totally unmotivated and I knit(well, crochet) hats. In fact, I craft to avoid responsibilities, lol
Excuse me?! Being on Lemmy is “doing shit”. VERY important shit. I have shit to read and memes to laugh at. There is nothing more important in life.
Pretty big self report there lmao.
I’m a woman and I do knit and bake as a hobby, I also 3d print and design, do some robotics and I’m a cybersecurity professional. I have joined and participate in online communities for all of those TBF the crochet community in Reddit is one of the most awesome and welcoming i have ever seen.
Nice neckbeard energy you got there. Especially how you tried to double down and all. My lady’ing the shit out of this.
Sorry about the grainy, difficult to read image. I am on mobile and couldn’t find a better version right now.
I think you might have misunderstood one of the primary internet rules “There are no girls on the internet.”

Top 5 Creatures of Folklore according to Redditors:

There are no women on the internet. Men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.
Don’t even have mothman as number 1, what are they even doing. That bizarre being is a hero, and he deserves respect.

People like margot robbie here are enough reason to know that this shitpost is not making any good points, it’s literally a joke
Margot robbie is that woman from stranger things right? I’m lost on the reference here though, is she super sexist against other women or something? I only really know her from that show 🤔
When was I ever in Stranger Things? I was recently in a fairly popular movie. You may have seen ads for it in the last few months.
Also, that’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!
May I see a video, of you holding up today’s newspaper, with the date visibly showing, with a shoe on your head? Then I will know you are real. Can’t trust pictures these days.
It’s so weird that you keep it up. You’ve been committed to this for like half a year basically every day now?

I’ve yet to see it happen, but if it does, let me know.
4chan seems to just be a place for emotionally stunted incels and wannabe sex offenders to hang out and share their deeply misguided views.
It makes you wonder what sort of human being actually pays to keep the place running and thinks they’re doing good :-(
thinks they’re doing good :-(
Maybe they’re trying to keep them in one place, where thry can be observed?
It obviously hasn’t worked.
Man, it’s freedom of speech. I can ask the same questions before cutting out and blocking some of the most polarized communities on Lemmy.
4chan isn’t really that bad honestly. It’s just the epitome of “FrEe SpEeCh”, and as a consequence it attracts a crapton of social outcasts who finally have a place to vent their horrible opinions.
The 10% of the site that isn’t talking about women or politics is actually pretty nice.
Hours after the Charlottesville car attack that killed Heather Heyer I went to /b/ to see if anyone wanted to virtually protest the alt-right white supremacist websites, and it was filled with post after post urging people to kill more protestors with their cars.
Because that’s virtually the only place where you can do that and not get banned. So obviously all the nutjobs flocked there to do it.
Doesn’t change that there’s still fun discussion sometimes on the site, although it’s hardly worth it when it’s so full of misogyny and alt-right propaganda. I admire the people that manage to stay sane in there.
Exceptions to rules prove them, my friend.
Most people think it’s just kind of a free speech hellhole, but it’s not, that’s just the coat of paint the site took on/has always slightly had. Remnants of an idealized 1990’s internet space where people thought everything would be free to use and free to access, and the storage would be infinite, ironically concocted by out-of-touch yuppies who didn’t work on the pipes. In reality, free speech bullshit is always just a cover for admins to be able to enforce whatever totally inconsistent rules that they want without any form of repercussion, because obviously there are limits, even just legally, in terms of keeping the site up, and keeping it free from commercial spam, and having advertisers stay on. Most rules you can concoct have some sort of exception, or lack of clarity, or are too restrictive, so it really just falls down to some arbitrary decision as to what stays around and what doesn’t.
With sites like 4chan, it isn’t so much that “free speech” just inevitably leads to this tragedy of the commons where everyone becomes or is taken over by racists and incels, it’s more that active decisions are made to turn these sites into shitholes by malignant actors, because sites like 4chan are the easiest targets, and have a kind of natural selection bias towards the type of people they want to recruit. They take advantage of this fact that “free speech” is obfuscating the actual moderation and enforcement of the site, and then use it to promote whatever ideologies they want, like a little internet meme terrarium, or maybe more of a virus cell culture. Then, this attracts other malignant actors, some of whom are even funded by different states, who work within the bounds of the site to advance it one step further, until you have a kind of horrible coalition of different ideas all stewing together.
Thus, most of the people who run the site nowadays are white supremacist dicks, funded by a hands-off japanese internet techbro libtertarian, and toy company “Good Smile”.
Which is all kind of tragic, because, like that one guy said, it’s responsible for a novel mathematical proof, the revival of a british indie rock band, the beginnings of anonymous, probably some other cool stuff I can’t remember. Lots of early classic internet memes, of course. It’s not all bad, really, it’s just the lowest hanging fruit of web forum. Sometimes that’s shitty, but then sometimes you get draw*** threads, where artists will go in and take low-pressure requests or concoct some sort of forum-game. Idealized, it’s sort of like pub bathroom graffiti, or something. Which isn’t really nefarious, is never serious, is sometimes charming, and very very occasionally is beautiful, useful, or novel.

People always forget about the rules of the internet.
Rule 29: On the internet men are men, women are also men, and kids are undercover FBI agents.
Rule 30: Girls do not exist on the internet
Which is weird when you think about Rule 31: Tits or GTFO—the choice is yours.
And to that I say…
I’ve never known men to be resistant to sending a dick pic. You don’t even have to ask.
Edit: missing letter.
Ahem… well? 😏
moobs
This is brave
Hello I am 5 years old and vulnerable 🖐️😩🖐️ and I’m definitely NOT an agent
And if they do tits or gtfo!
I had a three point argument ready on why that line is not sexist but i forgor 💀
As I understand it, most girls on the internet are in fact dudes out to scam poor simple thirsty motherfuckers like us, so “tits or gtfo” is simply a type of verification process to protect ourselves 😇
It was always hard to verify images. Images with timestamps and weird specific instructions were a good way around that, but AI…
Tits with a skin tonned banana for scale in between them. Good luck AI
It was fun when I read a reddit story and at the end realize I was imagining the wrong gender. Then I would reread the story and it made a lot more sense, like a movie with a twist ending and flashbacks to previous scenes.
I’ve done that many times
Women are a liberal lie
true conservatives are extremely buff and only hang out with equally buff men at all times, including bed.
if women existed then sleeping with them would be a profoundly beta move.
Things that don’t exist are the stuff of conservative nightmares. This story checks out.
I mean, the irony is that there are even less women on lemmy than on reddit so like…
[citation needed]
more femboys, at least percentually, though worth it
Checking in, am also women.
part-time woman here
in percentage or in total?
Yes
Also women here, hi.
oh yeah dude, totally.

Nah. Lots of trans women and we care about their mental health. Just cope.
Why don’t you just say there are lots of women? Your comment is both transphobic and anti-feminist
cis women aren’t as hurt by misgendering. not transphobic, just aware. not anti-feminist, they’re advocating for gender neutral language.
holster your shit lol
cis women aren’t as hurt by misgendering
Nice generalization.
That’s implying trans women are less stable and easier to hurt because they are trans. That’s transphobic. Assuming cis women don’t get hurt by misgendering is sexist at best.
Homie I work in mental health and recognizing a trigger is not a force of systemic oppression, it’s a courtesy. Pretending everything is hunky dory and no one has differing needs or experiences is the “i dont see color” equivalent of gender. why would cis women even have that trigger??
try talking to some ciswomen and find out if misgendering hurts. spoiler - it does.
edit - fwiw, i keep hearing that lemmy is friendlier than reddit. this doesn’t align with my experience so far, it’s the same hateful shit as always.
You think you’re so damn clever for appropriating the inclusive folks’ argument and trying to throw it back at them, but you really aren’t. We can all see you for the dishonest concern troll that you are.

Thanks bro
I’m actually really curious what you think you’re doing with this shit. You can check but I don’t downvote. What’s your goal?
The updoots tell a harrowing tale.
Two alt accounts
Right, two alt accounts for the benefit of the (check notes) 2 upvotes the one account receives?
Some people are so desperate for affirmation that this is entirely feasible.
Not sure if this is Nothing Ever Happens (because for some reason that conversation couldn’t happen naturally) or That Happened (someone made 2 accounts for such a nothing conversation)…
Back in the day we had a rules of the internet and they were clear: there are no women on the internet. So you are not fooling me
Ah yes, the old “I reject your reality and substitute my own”.
That’s a reference from where?
Mythbusters: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AqSDQ5mR1gU
While Adam popularized it, it comes from a Doctor Who episode from the 70s.
PS: You’re making me want to watch Mythbusters again
No it doesn’t. I comes from the 1984 movie The Dungeonmaster.
This movie was featured in Red Letter Media’s Best of the Worst: Plinketto #9, which revealed the origins of the phrase to the internet at large.
Adam has since confirmed it indeed comes from this movie.

I’ve noted that for some reason society in general seems clueless that women actually exist
Society was built and designed for/by men. Misogyny is hardcoded.
For Better or Worse
Men and women only exist when there is a need for a gender to be specified. Most of the time it’s just “people”.
I’m all for (trans-inclusive) gender abolition, but this is just erasing invisibility of women and queers (e.g. history of science)
Correct
Hm.
Most of the time gender doesn’t matter though. It only matters when you need to qualify something. Not everyone thinks about a person’s gender First
Pretty much
Oh yea, in like the 15 years online when people assume I’m a guy I don’t bother to correct anyone anymore. The default assumption is that everyone is a dude, no matter how pink your profile pic is.
The only exception is voice chat for obvious reasons but if you play online games with voice chat you only make the mistake of speaking a few times until you learn.
And many are even offended at that fact
