    When its ok for a female to do things ‘as a joke’ to guys and they have to take it bcos its cute and endearing, but when guys do to females, it gets called out as mean or abusive.

      Look, I agree with your sentiment, but I don’t know if you subconsciously use the words ‘female’ and ‘guys’ as if they are equivalent or if it is a deliberate choice.

      Still rude either way, though if it is the former, I hope you can understand why. Female, male, woman, man, you get the idea.

        This definitely shows how the world takes women’s actions a lot less seriously a lot of the time, but that language really makes it seem like it’s coming from a biased place. It’s almost counterproductive framing women in such a dehumanizing way while talking about how women aren’t taken seriously.
