Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY MEN PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT

I totally get the joke, and Pedro can only be a good thing (huge fan, pray daily that he adopts me). But I do understand why some men would find it insulting. What's your thoughts?

i have not seen this meme before and i have said myself that pedro is the reason i remain attracted to straight men 😭 i have been sharing terrible dating experiences with my ex- both are insane but his dates were no where near as dangerous +manipulative as mine. my ex is very masc and one of very few genuine good men i could vouch for. he has some resentment toward men in general for similar reasons of abuse, fully understands the man-hating memes, and often finds himself empathising. i dont think any good man would be unfamiliar with the crisis of misogyny post-Me-Too, or would be bothered by women expressing whatever they need to feel over it.

Eh, I get vaguely lesbiphobic vibes from that image, but I don't think it's intentional so I'll give it a pass. Also I prefer glorifying David Tennant.

Pedro Pascal seems like a supportive sweetheart. Meanwhile it seems like David Tennant is the supporter who woke up and chose violence. Also he was really hot as Crowley, ngl. Sucks about Gaiman, Good Omens had some really strong queer vibes.

Oooo I think this might be my field of expertise...

Great analysis but I'm pretty sure this is just a hornypost.

This feels like the sort of hyperbolic statement that under analysis is very strange because the idea because the words come from a more primitive part of the brain.

I find it interesting because I don't get quasi-philisophical when horny. For me those parts of my brain are separate "voices". I don't know if that's an autism thing or what

Thoughts on the meme? Eh... He's great, but so are a lot of other people. I think there could be more focus on him being a good ROLE MODEL (and why), since a lot of people can't seem get subtext or nuance. But even then, idolizing him in this way already kinda does that. People just have egos, so this all just has to play out, and all of us do our parts to find and help find truth.

To preface I don't know who Pedro Pascal is.


~~For the meme:~~ ~~- hayley_turner_author seems to be insinuating that women wouldn't give up on men because of Pedro Pascal's arms/muscles.~~

~~I don't agree with hta's message and I find it really quite shallow as it's hard to believe that "every women on earth" would like men simply because of being fit/muscular. Sure fit men are more likely to be attractive than unfit men but I don't believe that's all women have in mind when looking for male partners.~~

~~In addition, if people have upvoted/shared it enough to others it's very likely to have given younger men and boys the wrong beliefs in that if they build up their muscles then they'll become more popular with all women.~~


~~So I personally find this meme to be quite poor in terms of quality as it gives everyone incorrect/misguided views of societal beliefs and fellow people.~~

Edit:
I totally read the meme wrong😬
