    I’m sure you didn’t mean it, but given the dearth of women in engineering, there’s an interpretation of this meme that’s kinda sexist.

                so glad you were here to explain to me the error of my ways, whatever would i do without your enlightened understanding of marxism🙄

                if you think people complaining about “woke scolds” aren’t 99% conservatives then idk what to tell you dog, particularly in the context of “actually being concerned about social issues pushes people into reaction!”

            If 1) is true then taking a stand on 2) and 3) is pointless at best and callous at worst.

            Like you said, the joke works equally well with the genders reversed to remove the possibility of misinterpretation.

                I’m not trying to attack you or anything. I’m not calling you a sexist and throughout this whole interaction I’ve given you maximal benefit of the doubt about your intentions.

                All I wanted to do is point out that this meme could be read to have an unintended negative meaning, a point which I don’t think you’ve even disagreed with.

                If a big part of why this meme is okay to you is the fact that you’re a woman in STEM them at least men should be aware that it might be interpreted differently if they share it or spread it around. It is, after all, a meme.
