Thread by @NotReallyABear2

Oh my gosh I found the DUMBEST THING ON TWITTER today.

Everything is made for the consumption of white guys? OH REALLY? Oh f*ck you it’s time for a thread.

Who makes the consumer decisions in America? Is it white men?

F*ck no it’s women and it’s by a huge f*cking margin.

A - women control more wealth than men in the USA. 60% in fact.
B - at home, 90% of WOMEN control the purse strings.

HOLY HELL

But let’s whine & cry because eVEryThINg iS MAde fOR WhitE mEN. BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE.

She’s talking abt entertainment. Who consumes more entertainment?

Well when it comes to television: WOMEN AGAIN

But men are ahead of us on gaming consoles NOT FAIR

But we’re talking about ENTERTAINMENT. Maybe that 90% of controlling household income doesn’t pertain to entertainment?

TURNS OUT IT DOES.

A challenge: WHAT is geared specifically TOWARD men these days?

And don’t whine at me about a “Pink Tax” 😭😭😭 because BITCH YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY THE PINK STUFF. In fact, DON’T. It’s blatant pandering and cynical marketing.

Here’s stuff geared just toward women:

If I hear some dumbass talking abt her daughter sobbing in a boys clothes section because there’s a spaceship shirt “for boys” I’m like, “stupid, just buy her THAT shirt.” Nothing forces girls to shop in a girls section. I’ve bought my daughter several “boy shirts” NO ONE CARES

You want to talk upholding strict gender norms? It’s FEMINIST MOMS whining their daughters prefer BOY aisles. THERE’S NO RULE THAT SAYS GIRLS CAN’T BUY OUT OF A BOY AISLE. ZERO social stigma! And even after target took down the signs, you find many boys in those pink aisles? NOPE

Women are outpacing men in college in all degrees. More women than men are entering medical school. But never fear ladies, there’s still a way we can twist that to make ourselves the victims!!!

(news.aamc.org/press-releases…)

More girls than boys are graduating high school. But alas alas it’s a MEN’S WORLD OUT THERE sigh sigh sigh PATRIARCHY!!!!!!!

Don’t forget that it’s absolutely monstrous for a straight actor to portray a gay character or a white actor to portray a non white character, but we can f*cking replace all male characters with female characters in crappy remakes because FEMINISM SQWEEE

bUT muH wAGe gaP 😭😭😭

Turns out it’s more of a “women don’t prioritize their careers over their kids” gap. Single childless women OUTEARN male peers by around 8%.

BUT WE’RE VICTIMS!!!

WE’RE VICTIMS THOUGH!

NO WE’RE NOT.

“The world is set up for white men!!!”

NO IT’S NOT. STOP LYING.

So TELL ME victimized poor feminists sobbing that Captain Marvel isn’t just universally adored totes probs because SO MUCH SEXISM and not because the lead actress is a raging douche canoe SJW - what do men get to do that women can’t? Huh? What? In America? Is barred? For women?

NOTHING.

So now here’s the part where a left wing feminist reads my thread and tells me I’m just a self hating woman because I’m not all “patriarchy!” and “sisterhood!” And “shouting my abortion #WOMENSHEALTHCARE and “the all female Ghostbusters was a delight!” Well stuff it.

I’m NOT on the women’s side. I’m not on the MEN’S side. I’m on the side of not being a raging asshole... which means I’m not a feminist. I’m on the side of the sexes being nice to each other. Of husbands and wives, mothers and sons, fathers and daughters. I’m on THEIR SIDE.

The feminists are not sending their best to attack this thread 🤣
