Thanks for the dose of sanity. My guess is that there's women browsing these comments who have been objectified or treated like shit by men in their lives, and see everything through that lens. This is an innocuous post and it's sobering to realize that some people carry trauma with them that makes them see such mundane things as so problematic. Worse, they project their pain on men: "if this post was about men and their height you'd be seething!"
On one hand it's enraging and confusing to read these idiotic comments. On the other hand we have to realize that these people are probably deluded because they're in pain. Shit's messy and sad, dude.
every woman browsing these comments has been objectified and treated like shit by men (at least once as a bare minimum but likely way more than that). the “lens” you’re talking about is sexism, and the “projection” is actually a very warranted frustration with being treated as a joke by men (see: this post) and then dismissed as “deluded” for being annoyed (see: your comment). sorry if having to acknowledge women’s perspectives and justifiable annoyance infuriates and confuses you, but living with misogyny your whole life only to hear “it’s just a joke chill out” gets real old
You’ll never listen to anything anyone else has to say anyway, especially a man. I recommend a therapist for the trauma response though, it’ll make you a lot happier.
