Chris here, the joke is sexism, she doesn't expect a man to be present and supportive durig childbirth

u/Elora_Freya Apr 24 '26

You can’t blame her for having those experiences. Sure, not every father is like this towards their partner and child, but too many are, and she has witnessed that.

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

Why cant i blame her for projecting behaviour seen in other men onto a different man and using sexist stereotypes?

19

u/Elora_Freya Apr 24 '26

Because you’re denying her first hand experience with this, solely because you don’t like when women point out bad behaviour in men

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

So if someone have first hand bad experience with women it is okay for them to jusgmental and sexistic towards other women? Is that really your position that sexism is okay if you have first hand bad experience with the gender you are discriminatory towards?

Do you also think the same wit race or other groupings?

Criticizing observed patterns of poor behavior isn’t sexism.

10

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

No, judging people based on actions done by other people of the same gender is though.

u/Expensive-Simple-329 Apr 24 '26

I know your feelings are hurt but nobody said EVERY man does this. Just that a lot of men do. At that point your problem is that you feel called out and/or cannot handle critique of bad male behavior.

Nobody else will give you the time of day in this thread anymore, so enjoy this last crumb of attention from a woman you’ll be getting today.

Criticizing observed patterns of women being gold diggers isn't sexism

I know your feelings are hurt but nobody said EVERY woman is a gold digger. Just that a lot of women are. At that point your problem is that you feel called out and/or cannot handle critique of bad female behavior.

Does that analogy dumb it down for you enough? The fact that you spew out childish insults about him not getting women while simultaneously using the exact same logic incels do is hilariously ironic btw

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

Are you dim? The context is a good man being treated as if it is weird he is good becouse men are supposed to be bad😂

Sure sure, i would rather not get atention from someone who have 0 comprehension skills.

u/Thisisstupidly Apr 24 '26

Go talk to your fellow men about behaving better and not the people who suffer from it. It’s okay to validate (do you know what that means?)and acknowledge that many fathers are horrible to the mothers in labour. Enough so that nurses see it. I also worked in L&D and saw many men treat the pregnant women horribly, or me.

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

Why dont tou go speak to your fellow men about it?

Yes some men are horrible, do you think that justify sexism against the other members of their gender?

2

u/Thisisstupidly Apr 24 '26

Speak to these men AT MY JOB? Haha ok. Good one. Try to call out a customer next time, buddy. 

There is no sexism happening with observation. You have a bad take.

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

Why should i speak to these men if you ridicule the idea pf doing so yourself?

No there is sexism in the actions done, like judging the man and making a post about it spreading the sexist mentality.

u/silverandshade Apr 25 '26

Yes.

When a child is bit by a dog and as an adult is phobic of dogs, people are like "ah, yeah, I get it." When one's expirence with men is only negative, they're allowed to dislike them.

Here's another thing: I don't dislike men. But when a man complains about "not all men", it comes off as inherently suspicious. When you're sitting at the pool and the lifeguard blows the whistle and shouts "NO RUNNING!" do you shout back "Hey, not all of us are running!" or do you realize they're not talking to you?

And before you bite my head off, I'm a lesbian with a lot of straight male friends. I listen to men complain about women all the time. But it is rarely stuff that applies to me, and so I don't feel the need to go "Hey, not all of us do that!" Because in their experience, many do. And it doesn't exactly help their experience to stamp my foot and go "Nuh-uh!"

I get you'll probably still shout and bitch about how I'm a sexist cow, but let the record show I tried.

-1

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 25 '26

I think you are missing the part where it isn't a complaint about men, but a expectation of negative behaviour because of being a man.

Why would i call youna cow or shout, are you trying to portray me as being unreasonable and rude pr something? Thats kinda weird since i have only been insulting or rude in response to insults and rudnes aimed at me in these comments... would you find it discriminatory if i said that is the expected behaviour from you because younare a lesbian?

Out of curiosity, how many times have you been with a woman whose giving birth?

10

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

I will consider answering you after you answer my questions I posed first.

-3

u/Elora_Freya Apr 24 '26

No, no, this is important to the situation, how many times have you been with a woman who is giving birth?

8

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

I also think my questions is important to the situation, and since i posed them firsr i think it would be fair i get them answer first

u/Elora_Freya Apr 24 '26

Whenever you’re ready

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

You cant take a breath and wait for a response pr what?

u/Elora_Freya Apr 24 '26

That’s why I said whenever you’re ready 😂

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

So why did you double comment if not to rush or act out some nervous energy?

u/Elora_Freya Apr 24 '26

No. No it is not. And no I don’t. There, now answer the question

2

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

Then why is it okay for them to do it if it isn't okay the other way around.

0 times in the delivery room, but then again i am not a man or have any children.

2

u/Elora_Freya Apr 24 '26

She isn’t doing this though. She has seen this situation more times than you ever will. So her stating this isn’t opinion, it’s fact. Yours is just an opinion because you have literally ZERO experience with it.

u/DrSitson Apr 24 '26

You should learn the difference between facts and anecdotal experiences.

0

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 24 '26

So you sre saying it is okay for a person to be sexist if they have many experiences with a gender that would support their sexisme?

I have other negative experiences, is ot okay to be discriminatory based on them?

How many times have you been with a woman giving birth?

u/djnotskrillex Apr 24 '26 edited Apr 24 '26

Stating what? She didn't even make any statements lmfao. I don't know what opinion or fact you think she stated, but acting surprised when someone doesn't fit your preconceived assumptions based on their gender is, in fact, sexism. The same way it'd be racism to act surprised when a black man doesn't rob you even if you've experienced that situation multiple times

I've had terrible experiences with women before. Glad to hear that being mysoginstic is okay because of it. /s
