Oh, sorry is the joke not funny because it’s 7 years old? Because I noticed that “women are bad drivers” jokes have been around since the 1920s…
Im not sure this is the right website for you.

Thanks for following up with that. I think linking an onion article from seven years go definitely adds context to your point of view.

Yes it’s exhausting. Once you see the atmospheric misogyny we’re all soaking in, it’s very hard to ignore tho. See also: https://www.theonion.com/woman-takes-short-half-hour-break-f...

I think you're going for a glib lil' fun quip, but that really just sounds like sexism one-step-removed to me. The stereotype of the cat lady, mixed in with the stereotype of women being bad drivers. Unless there's some stereotype about men who like cats I'm not aware of?
Sincerely, do you get tired of this train of thought? It’s exhausting for me to attempt to constantly think in this paradigm.
a.k.a. please don't feed the trolls

It’s common now for people actively seeking any opportunity to be offended on behalf of someone else. There must be some odd entertainment factor to it that you and I don’t understand. I don’t know what it’s like to be so self-certain and absolute that I would take on responsibility of social internet police.

>I never understood why people get so angry at other people for showing solidarity, even if they aren't part of the oppressed group. There's a pretty wide gulf between solidarity and getting offended on other people's behalf. If a slight doesn't effect you then you shouldn't be the first mover. Let the slighted people decide they are in fact slighted before you get all up in arms over it >Why does it make you so mad?…
You're putting yourself in charge of what people are and are not allowed to be offended by. Like everyone else in power who wants to keep it that way.
