I didn't make it, but studying this empirically I can say that if I made it based off of my experiences women would still be missing cause I still haven't quite figured out how to feel like one yet ๐Ÿ˜

I don't think you can claim to be an objective scientist and also claim that data you haven't personally experienced is invalid.

What a remarkably self-centered worldview.

I hope you get to feel that someday of that's what you want but discounting an entire population that way is... not cool.

Relax, it's a self deprecating joke about feeling invalid

I'm sorry I don't find it funny when I say "women are missing" and someone's reply is, "but I wish I was one." You suffering is not funny to me. You changing the topic to your experience isn't funny to me.

And if there's one thing I really don't like, and I think most people wouldn't enjoy, it's being told to relax. I understand you don't like that I didn't find your joke funny, but I'm allowed to feel however I want. Just like you are.

I know people hate being told to relax but wow sometimes it is warranted.

I know caring about things isn't cool. I know expressing honest annoyance is super not cool, but this is Lemmy, so I decided to be genuine.

I wouldn't say that making a joke about something is mutually exclusive with caring about it.
