You mean women are people who knows how to navigate to a website, sign up for accounts, and express our own points of view on different topics? How could this be possible?
It’s not that people don’t think women have the capability. There is just a general assumption that they’re smart enough not to waste their time with it and they have better things to do, like actual hobbies and friends/family to see.
When I have time to kill I dick around online and usually ignore anything else I could do. Every woman I know is making scrapbooks, knitting her own hats and some more for others, taking care of some kids, building and maintaining relationships with people in the real world, cooking amazing food just because they want it, getting involved in the community, working some extra side jobs, and generally doing stuff to make their world and the world around them better.
Why do you assume the assumption that everyone is a guy online is somehow the result of a negative view on women?
I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram, posting their best moments online. Ofc similar for some good-looking men as well. That’s why I assume most people here are either men or lgbtq+.
I’m almost guaranteeing that the person you are replying to is making a joke, because of how ludicrous it sounds. “I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram” implies that the commenter has literally never met a woman in their entire life and only knows about them via a website that they’ve never even been to themselves, as the information about them being on instagram is itself second hand. Like, it literally makes women sound like cryptids.
I have. The most recent woman I saw was my sister, who does literally all the things I mentioned, and has probably never been on reddit. She might not even know what it is.
Oh cool she definitely represents the entire female population of the world. Maybe you should go try and meet a second or even third woman (not including your mother), it might give you a broader perspective.
I wasn’t aware you wanted a list of everyone woman I’ve ever met. I’m not going to provide that, as it’s insane. That’s why I simply mentioned just the most recent. I also didn’t say anything about the entire female population in the world, that’s a bunch of spin you made up in your head. Stop being so sensitive and trying to make things out to be worse than they are. I don’t know you, nor was I thinking about you when I made the post; you don’t need to take it personally.
This comment is so sad lmao. Let me introduce you to this awesome idea, and I ask that you please read it in the SpongeBob voice for “imagination”: anecdotes aren’t evidence
I don’t understand why men are even on here. Every man I know is so busy chopping down trees, wrestling bears and building log cabins. How does anyone on here even find the time!?
I’m a woman. My most frequently practiced hobbies are watching my fiancé cook, playing with my cat, dicking around on the internet, and playing word games. Because hobbies are to relax and I’m working and getting a Masters. When I had more time, I also danced a bunch and played Pokémon go.
The things the women in your life are doing, are providing services for the people around them, through food, knitted goods, and photo albums. Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one.
Six years ago, my terrible ex would have said that I loved reading organizational blogs and baking, but that’s because he was a slob whose family had weekly parties that I was expected to bake for. Maybe all the women in your life are stepford bots, but maybe you should try learning to knit or cook with some of them, and see if they branch out or just need some help.

“Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one.
[note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]
No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.

Are there any women you know who aren’t housewives?
There is just a general assumption that they’re smart enough not to waste their time with it and they have better things to do, like actual hobbies and friends/family to see.
Did you actually ask other people what they think, or are you projecting? Because this doesn’t represent me at all
I’m projecting, but also, I said it was an assumption that’s generally held, not a hard fact that everyone does or should believe. We all know different people and that will color or views.
My wife and I are waiting until marriage until we have some free time this holiday to play it co-op. We’ve had similar problems in the past with games like Warcraft 3, but the amazing coop system in the Borderlands franchise has allowed us to log hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing together - hoping that BG3 works similarly well enough.
The co-op is pretty good, though there are a few tiny frustrations - I can’t automatically use an npc party member’s skills in conversations (like guidance or bardic inspiration) if they’re under my husband’s control instead of mine, for instance. Our problem is that we both want to finish the storyline for ourselves before making storyline decisions in our co-op campaign and I have an entire day off that he doesn’t thanks to working 4 10s instead of 5 8s. So I have to wait for him to push ahead in his campaign before we can play ours, but I can just play mine at my leisure, lol.
The fact you think motivation, caring for you family, and having social media are mutually exclusive says a lot about you.
If you think women on Reddit, lemmy, whatever social media are unmotivated because they don’t knit hats and care for children or whatever you define as womanhood you might need to reflect on what you think womanhood is outside of your personal experiences with the women in your social bubble.
Women might use Reddit or lemmy or a number of social media sites to find a social group to connect with that they don’t have in their immediate area, just like men do. They are normal people who don’t have to adhere to whatever gender ideologies society wants to ascribe to them. Also spending time on sites like this can just be an hour in the morning or evening not an entire life so you might never see them do it.
I’m a woman and I do knit and bake as a hobby, I also 3d print and design, do some robotics and I’m a cybersecurity professional. I have joined and participate in online communities for all of those TBF the crochet community in Reddit is one of the most awesome and welcoming i have ever seen.

Excellent gif from and excellent animated movie.
… OK, first time I’ve ever got this reaction for something I thought that was pretty obvious.
It is, I didn’t mean any harm, I was just playing into a joke.
It’s all good!
It’s all good man!
would sound just like
Saul goodman!
…
Making an account named Margot Robbie? Classic Kim Wexler! Gotcha!

Wow… there’s a lot to unpack here… have you ever met a woman before?
I did not meet women in person, but I heard lots of them just hang out on instagram, posting their best moments online. Ofc similar for some good-looking men as well. That’s why I assume most people here are either men or lgbtq+.
So anyone on a website other than instagram is an ugly man or a lesbian…
…man the hot takes just keep coming don’t they?

But like, how is a human being possible without penis and balls? Where does the pee come from? Where do they store it?
I don’t know man, seems a bit too surreal to me.
Go look at their reply (or post history) then tell me that.
Huh, I never said ugly. Do not put words in my mouth.
What’s the opposite of good-looking? I swear context is impossible for most people on the internet.
Average-looking men, obviously.
You don’t understand what words mean, do you?
I have. The most recent woman I saw was my sister, who does literally all the things I mentioned, and has probably never been on reddit. She might not even know what it is.

You really are confused, I never asked for a list, and didn’t take this personally in any way.
I just think you have some weird misogynistic views of what a woman is, and what their interests are.
Is your sister even real bro?
my sister frequently sends me reddit memes and tried for years to get me to play league of legends
This comment is so sad lmao. Let me introduce you to this awesome idea, and I ask that you please read it in the SpongeBob voice for “imagination”: anecdotes aren’t evidence
bro’s only example of women who don’t use reddit is a woman he assumes doesn’t use reddit
Your sister sounds kinda boring ngl
I choose to believe your post is finely crafted satire.
Finely?
I don’t understand why men are even on here. Every man I know is so busy chopping down trees, wrestling bears and building log cabins. How does anyone on here even find the time!?
Are you all even real!?!?
Whoah. I spend time drinking alcohol straight from the bottle, too.
Looks at red plaid shirt, Looks at wood cutters axe, Touches beard.
I feel so singled out.
Edit: Commas are our friend.
Hold my bear, I’m typing a reply.
I’m a woman. My most frequently practiced hobbies are watching my fiancé cook, playing with my cat, dicking around on the internet, and playing word games. Because hobbies are to relax and I’m working and getting a Masters. When I had more time, I also danced a bunch and played Pokémon go.

Edit: grammar
I learnt cross stitch off me mum as a lad.
TL:DR for the folks at home:
“The things the women in your life are doing, is providing service for the people around them….”
“Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one. [note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]
No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.
I completely overlooked the mistake until now, it should be: “are providing services for the people around them…”
I got what you mean, I was just agreeing with you, I don’t correct anyone until at least 2 hours after getting out of bed anyway.
Are there any women you know who aren’t housewives?
If kids means dogs this is my mom. She’s retired and I’m her roommate. It’s kinda nice.
Did you actually ask other people what they think, or are you projecting? Because this doesn’t represent me at all
I’m projecting, but also, I said it was an assumption that’s generally held, not a hard fact that everyone does or should believe. We all know different people and that will color or views.
Every woman I know is playing Baldur’s Gate 3
Am woman, currently at work, but will continue playing BG3 when I get back home. So this checks out.
hastily closes steam window showing over 250 hours of BG3 played so far
My husband is mad because I’m further in the story than him, lol
My wife and I are waiting
until marriageuntil we have some free time this holiday to play it co-op. We’ve had similar problems in the past with games like Warcraft 3, but the amazing coop system in the Borderlands franchise has allowed us to log hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing together - hoping that BG3 works similarly well enough.The co-op is pretty good, though there are a few tiny frustrations - I can’t automatically use an npc party member’s skills in conversations (like guidance or bardic inspiration) if they’re under my husband’s control instead of mine, for instance.

So I have to wait for him to push ahead in his campaign before we can play ours, but I can just play mine at my leisure, lol.
Not me. I’m catching up on all of the assassin’s creed before getting the new one
Generally held by who? Because it’s not the general public.
Seems like it’s just you at the moment.
I guess… maybe I just know a bunch of really motivated women. None of them spend time one sites like this, They do shit.
The fact you think motivation, caring for you family, and having social media are mutually exclusive says a lot about you. If you think women on Reddit, lemmy, whatever social media are unmotivated because they don’t knit hats and care for children or whatever you define as womanhood you might need to reflect on what you think womanhood is outside of your personal experiences with the women in your social bubble.

Joke’s on him, I’m totally unmotivated and I knit(well, crochet) hats. In fact, I craft to avoid responsibilities, lol
Excuse me?! Being on Lemmy is “doing shit”. VERY important shit. I have shit to read and memes to laugh at. There is nothing more important in life.
Pretty big self report there lmao.
I’m a woman and I do knit and bake as a hobby, I also 3d print and design, do some robotics and I’m a cybersecurity professional. I have joined and participate in online communities for all of those TBF the crochet community in Reddit is one of the most awesome and welcoming i have ever seen.
Nice neckbeard energy you got there. Especially how you tried to double down and all. My lady’ing the shit out of this.
Sorry about the grainy, difficult to read image. I am on mobile and couldn’t find a better version right now.
I think you might have misunderstood one of the primary internet rules “There are no girls on the internet.”
If you squint, you’ll work it out.
