Something one or multiple people merely think does not reveal any underlying truths. To try to find evidence, one might start from an observation and test a hypothesis. Comedians and pop culture as a whole might mirror society’s ideological mores in some ways, but that alone isn’t sufficient evidence that women are disproportionately intellectually dishonest or inferior.

You have some prejudiced views about women that you need to work out.

Chris Rock and other comedians’ jokes are not peer-reviewed studies or discourse analyses about how women debate intellectually.

Debate? What debate? I thought this was just a hypothetical situtation casually talking about bands, which turns into something condescending. That’s not really a debate situation. Why must we treat it as a Socratic dialogue or a legal proceeding?

But that nonsequitur sure is a sweeping generalization about how you feel about about women debaters. Ironic considering you stated you don’t like sweeping generalizations, real or imagined, in your other comment.

The comments on this post are examples why there are so few women on Lemmy lol.

“Reverse sexism.” Okay, so women can never point out hurtful things that might be sexist because it’s sexist against men to point out sexism. No recourse, then? Got it. So, I belive this user is coming at this question in bad faith, as his mind is seemingly made up on what he thinks, so that first question was actually a statement, rather than genuinely asking how we’d respond to the roles being reversed.

If that’s not the case, my mistake. If it is, please go to a different community with this stuff. Your side won the culture war. My side can no longer use our first amendment rights in public peacefully without having the National Guard called. Just leave us in peace in our tiny corners of the internet we have left until my country’s government decides that is also illegal.

Condescension and gatekeeping is never okay. If a woman did this to a man, I would defend the man. So it’s not a double standard.

It’s just that women frequently deal with this when they partake in male-centric hobbies. When this happens, there’s often some element of misogyny at play. So it’s okay for us to point out that specific situation and say it’s frustrating, and doing so doesn’t mean we’re saying this has never happened to men, nor that it’s morally virtuous for women in subcultures to condescend to men.

Also, this culture war thing is so exhausting. Everyone reads between lines and assumes the worst in everyone.
