Yeah, it’s like calling women drama queens. Since men agree most women are drama queens, calling them drama queens is not sexist.
Except of course it’s sexist.
Both of the above is sexist.
Most men stay with their wife / girlfriend when she’s giving birth and show her support. Don’t know a single father who hasn’t unless he didn’t make it in time. Those who can’t make it regret it their entire lives.
I think those situations aren't equal at all.... One is an insult towards women in a derogatory way and the other is surprise at a difference in streotype/prejudice.
Use a better example like: It's like finding out a woman wants to go back to work immediately and the dad is quiting his job to raise the baby and do the housework.
Both are sexisim (showing a prejudice) but your example was not on equal footing at all....
And also confusing >> calling them drama queens is not sexist. Except it is sexist
I'm not saying bad people don't exist I'm saying the joke is that the nurse is surprised that a man is active in child birth and parenting. Same with a surprise that woman will be going back to work and the dad stays home.
They're both scenarios that defy parental expectations. Both can be taken as an insult to character, none is calling the other a known insult that mocks the emotional intelligence of one gender.
The person's example was inappropriate in the scenario as they're not comparable situations. We don't need to insult women to make a point...
What is your argument. It seems like you're fighting this because you believe that women don't face any adversity at all. And men must be the victims in this. That's my strawman argument because why are people so desperate to prove me wrong when never even said "this isn't a sexist joke" I THINK IT IS SEXIST however the comparison the man used was not a good comparison. It was shit.
Im not arguing to change your mind, I'm just stating that calling women drama queens =/= men being stereotyped as inattentive during fatherhood
They're not balanced comparison. They're two completely different situations that should not be compared in this discussion.

Now stop defending sexism. It’s not a good look.
