    Feminists see that the world is dominated almost entirely by a small handful of men who control all the news we consume, all the policy decisions that get made, and see all the massive inequality all throughout our society, and decide that the only problem with this is that the person that this power imbalance benefits isn’t a woman.

    Power corrupts, idiot. Dismantle the system. Don’t paint it pink.

      if you genuinely think that feminism is “painting it pink” and not changing the system to be more equitable then youve been in the wrong circles, this meme is making fun of people like you who hold the belief that feminism is a matriarchal ideology rather than an egalitarian one

        You would be correct IF the post wasn’t literally and directly asking for women to behave the same as all the problems in patriarchy…

        Learn to fucking read before you put others down. The post is a joke but you unironically defending matriarchy based on a joke that is asking for toxic matriarchy is not a joke. Do better.

        Ah yes, the famous strategy of making fun of an ideology that some (few) actually believe by saying outright that you believe it and giving no hint that you are joking

          the OP explicitly stated that they dont support the idea of an actual matriarchy and that this is just a shitpost in another comment, feel free to scroll down

          this is being posted in a shitposting community

            I feel tis extremely clear given the context of where this is posted that OP just wants to get stepped on lol. It’s hilarious that people are having actual discourse about a meme with a picture of a woman stepping on a man.

        It varies a lot between different groups of feminists. There are plenty that unironically want a system where some rich women are in charge instead of just rich men. In fact I would say this is the majority of feminists as communists and anarchists aren’t that common plus lots of communists are against identity politics to begin with.

      The OP is merely a joke. Probably. 196 is an intensely left-leaning shitposting culture.

          I would say Poe’s Law isn’t in effect here as the majority of 196 instance users (posters NOT lurkers) are anti-heirarchy as a soft prerequisite to jiving and understanding the humor.

          I’ll say this, have we tried Yassifying the Kleptocracy? I mean have we run the numbers???
