A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

Instead of erasing all the man-only cultural work

I’m in awe of your ability to sound like an ass.

So would it be appropriate for me to not see your proposal as a way to help men?

If you don’t want to wear skirts my dude, nobody’s gonna make you. You want to keep your brothers who aren’t prissy little homophobes like you from having the freedom to wear what they want. It’s sad.

Nothing is homophobic about wanting men to get credit for the work we do for society.

What the fuck are you talking about? Are you so aggrieved that you can’t even engage in a conversation about how comfortable pants are without making it about how your wife left you or you lost your job or whatever? Get help buddy.

You’re the one who seems upset right now.

I’m just saying if you want to help men there are ways other than hoping they wear skirts.

Your response to a really mild joke post dissing pants demonstrates some really weird priorities, dude. I am upset! I’m worried about you. 500 fun response comments from people who got the joke, and one from a disturbed little guy who is desperate to get credit for other men’s accomplishments?

Maybe if you do some stuff with your life you won’t be so focused on getting praise for having a dick?

I am worried about you

Oh how sweet. Human connection. Empathy. Someone who values me.

Maybe if you do some stuff with your life you won’t be so focused on getting praise for having a dick?

Oops, false alarm.

How would I possibly connect with someone who responds to me with nothing genuine? You interpret my post in the most negative way possible, you give cryptic hints that you think men are superior to women, and you never engage with what I’ve actually said. It’s bad faith, argumentative to the point of being nonsensical, basically worthless. Why would I respond with anything but mockery?
