It’s not sexist neither against men or against women. There are tons of cases of both men and woman having extra marital affairs or cheating. Depicting a situation which is realistic to occur does not have to imply that all woman or all men are anything. If I take a picture of my SO making a sandwich I’m not somehow trying to make implicit assertions about the maternal patriarchy. If that was the case every single picture of overweight men or overweight woman would be “sexist” because they somehow imply everyone of that gender is overweight.
- bkor 8y ago> extra marital affairs or cheating That's not a situation shown in the picture. I find it annoying that it pretends that man are solely focussed on appearance, as if there's no mind or thought in men.
- manicdee 8y agoI find it annoying that people pretend the image is about men and not just one man who is about to get a clip over the ear.
- DarkWiiPlayer 8y agoThe thing is, those who disagree are not willing to compromise on that. They state as an absolute that any depiction of a gender stereotype reinforces that stereotype in those who are exposed to it and thus keep sexism going. If they stopped believing that premise, their entire argumentation would fall apart, so I doubt it's possible to convince them of that they're wrong.
- teilo 8y agoIt is not possible to convince them that they are wrong. The denial of gender differences, or even the existence of gender itself, is practically a religious tenet. It does not yield to science or even common sense.
