To increasingly feel like men are more of a hindrance than anything else

Victim blaming language tbh. Most women don’t choose shitty men, they are born to them and are often tricked into marrying them.

Weekly isn't often enough in my opinion🤣

I misunderstood too! I didn’t realise the poster said it was a joke! Now I’m looking at it, it’s obviously a joke. A normal person couldn’t possibly believe that was a factual description of how the world works. I work in an industry that covers most of the jobs that person describes so I know first hand that’s a very black and white way of looking at things. I could describe the same stuff in a way (that’s factually true), that men do all the unintelligent grunt work and all the women do the clever maths and engineering bits, the planning, the project management, the physics, chemistry, etc. But, despite it being factually true in my industry and company, it’s not a true reflection of the complex world we are living in.

Well, I’m giving the poster the benefit of the doubt by saying it’s a joke. Otherwise they’re a bit thick!!

So I have to throw my husband AND 10 year old son out?!

The post is so beneath expending energy on because it’s so very silly. Astounded that someone wrote that.

The only semi correct part is hard physical labour, and women are heavily involved in that too, especially agriculture. Speechless

And all those men are........

Created by women. Raised by women. Shaped by women. Loved by women. Nurtured by women. Blossomed because of women. Had their careers because of women. Successful because of women. Exist because of women.

ALSO, as has been said, many women will be involved in all of the things you mention too. And some men will NOT ever be involved in any of that!

Oh, and women can read and write and spell too, and the REALLY clever ones can even count to 50! 😂

I agree with a pp, that word salad your Eastern European friend sent you is so cringeworthy. It's actually a bit embarrassing. I can't believe you actually thought this would serve as some kind of GOTCHA! 😆

.

Sorry, I didn’t see the ‘joke’ bit!!

I could, but it’s all wrong and I don’t want to get insulting

Whenever I watch Saving Lives at Sea I think it shows men at their best. I live inland but I thank heavens for such brave and selfless men. Yes I do know the volunteers consist of women too.

One person? Sorry, what is factually wrong in the message she sent? Which bit?

I love men. My Dad is amazing

Sorry, what was factually wrong in joke she sent? Factually wrong?

Lady, I’m still cringing from your original post.

Pointing out one person won’t change the fact that women have been involved in the development of many things we use daily, including tech, alongside men.

Not all men are arseholes, but the biggest arseholes are always men.

@PrizedPickledPopcorn nor me

Gosh, you’d think your friend would be able to do a bit of research (even just a basic google search) to realise this is a load of bunkum!! You need to let your friend know not to believe the amount of false drivel that’s perpetrated on crappy social media sites!!

Oh, no, was Konrad Zuse a woman?

I think you need to go and look at a little history on what women created and have been involved in. Or what they’ve been allowed to be involved in, shall we say?

Yeah, that’s not my experience either. I think the only crap men I’ve heard about have been on here. It’s not been my experience at all with the men I know in my life.

Software created by men 🥴
Whole things cringe actually

A friend from Eastern Europe, where I am gold, they still have real men, sent this to me:

A woman got up in the morning, turned on the lights supplied by a power grid laid by men from a power plant operated by men, and poured hot water—heated with gas extracted by men—through plumbing installed by men over her coffee.
The coffee had been brought by plane, flown by men from plantations cultivated by men, along with a bun made from wheat planted and harvested by men, transported by men to shops built by men.
She pressed a button on a computer assembled by men and invented by men, and using software created by men, went onto the internet created by men, and typed, using letters from an alphabet created by men:
I’m an independent woman. Why would I need these losers?

What is the point of such a statement? Men are here to stay, whether some women like it or not.

Better to focus on individuals and what positives each bring rather than creating a self fulfilling prophecy by convincing oneself and others that one sex is so much better all around than the other.

No, he's a real person, and one who dresses like a Ken doll from 2006. But he isn't the product of a 26 year old parenting web forum comprising mainly middle aged women. Mumsnet is not what radicalised his followers.

(Yes, I know what a straw man argument is. But it's completely irrelevant to what I'm saying so I'm just making fun of Andrew Tate and of the idea that the online source that created his followers is frigging Mumsnet. Do me a lemon.)

Straw man.
