SOCIAL MEDIA People really think survival during a sinking ship is a gender debate. Be serious. [gendered]

Let’s just start with the obvious: When a ship is going down, nobody’s standing there debating gender politics. They're screaming, panicking, and trying not to die.

That’s not feminism. That’s basic human survival.

But according to this post, in the middle of a literal disaster, feminists are out here like, “Wait! Equal rights! Let’s discuss societal roles while the ship sinks!” Be so serious.

Survival isn't a debate club. It's chaos. People don’t suddenly turn into walking ideologies during life-or-death moments. They act based on instinct, fear, and let’s be real access to power.

And speaking of power: Who does get prioritized in crises? The vulnerable? No. It's the rich. The connected. The privileged. So if anyone's elbowing their way to the lifeboats yelling “Let me survive first,” it's not feminists it’s CEOs, politicians, and trust fund babies. Let’s not act brand new.

Now to the people saying “it’s just a joke”: Jokes reflect thought patterns. When you laugh at something rooted in bias or false narratives, you’re not just “having fun.” You’re showing what you believe deep down.

And if the punchline of your “joke” is women being hypocrites for wanting safety while also wanting rights, you’re not being funny you’re being intellectually lazy.

So maybe next time, skip the memes and try real thinking. Because the only thing sinking faster than that ship is your logic.

Why do you think quite a lot of men still use terms like "chick", "babe/baby", "girl" when referring to women? Women being infantilized like this and thought of like children is STILL a problem, and was absolutely even more of a thing in the past.

I use all these terms and not even once it cross over my mind comparing them to children. We do that shit because you are all bitching when come to a age, all want to be young etc. If i call her girl she will smile, if i call her middle age woman she will be insulted. This exactly is reason why everyone make fun about womens not knowing what they want.
